Decisions on Taking Business in Private
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 27th meeting in 2009 of the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee.
The main purpose of today's meeting is to take evidence on the issues to be considered in the European Union fisheries council negotiations and European Commission negotiations with Norway. We will also consider the related but wider issue of reform of the common fisheries policy.
I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones and BlackBerrys, as they impact on the broadcasting system. Apologies have been received from Peter Peacock.
Under agenda item 1, I ask members whether they agree to take item 7 in private.
Members indicated agreement.
Also under agenda item 1, I ask members whether they agree to consider a draft report in private at future meetings.
Members indicated agreement.
