Pre and Post-council Scrutiny

The next item is our regular scrutiny of the agenda and reports of Council of the European Union meetings. Paper EU/S2/06/6/3 shows that the Executive has started to meet all of its deadlines recently.

Very good.

Bruce Crawford:

On the meeting of the environment council on 9 March, paragraph 10, on page 14, talks about a public debate on genetically modified organisms and mentions a paper that was tabled by the presidency. I would like to get a copy of that paper and a bit more detail on the outcomes of the debate. Our paper contains some general comments about the outcomes but does not say what each state decided to do.

Okay; that can be obtained.

If there are no further comments, we can simply thank the Executive for the information.
