Interests

Good evening and welcome to the first meeting in 2004 of the European and External Relations Committee. I wish everyone a happy new year.

We have received apologies from Phil Gallie, Margaret Ewing and Keith Raffan. Nicola Sturgeon is here as a substitute for Margaret Ewing and Murdo Fraser is here as a substitute for Phil Gallie.

He is a pale shadow of Phil Gallie.

No heckling, please.

I ask Nicola Sturgeon and Murdo Fraser to declare any interests that they may have, given that this is the first meeting of the committee that they have attended.

I have no interests to declare.

I have no interests to declare that are relevant to this committee.
