Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the second meeting in 2011 of the European and External Relations Committee. I have received apologies from Ted Brocklebank and Patricia Ferguson.

Colleagues will want to join me in expressing our condolences to the family of Phil Gallie, who was a stalwart member of the European and External Relations Committee in session 2. Phil was very studious and assiduous in undertaking scrutiny of European Commission legislation, and he certainly enjoyed that role in the committee—much to the chagrin of Commission officials, I am sure. He was a long-standing and highly regarded member of the committee, and I thought that we should note that in the Official Report.

Under agenda item 1, do members agree to take in private items 4 and 5 and further consideration of our legacy paper at any future meetings?

Members indicated agreement.
