Item in Private

Good morning and welcome to our first meeting of 2004. A happy new year to everyone. I hope that everyone had a happy break. As we are in public session, I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones and pagers are turned off.

The first item on the agenda is item 1—which is perhaps not surprising—which is to consider whether to take item 4 in private. Item 4 relates to the appointment of a budget adviser. Because of the commercial issues involved, it is normal to discuss such items in private. Is it agreed that we should take the item in private?

Members indicated agreement.
