European Union Issues
Agenda item 3 is European Union issues. We have received a letter from the convener of the European and External Relations Committee, which has been circulated to members. We get a regular update on European Union issues and we will have an opportunity to examine the transposition of a European directive when we get the proposed flooding bill—which we anticipate keenly.
The best time for us to discuss our scrutiny of European issues might be at our away day in June. If members want to raise any particular points regarding the mainstreaming of European issues, they can be raised directly with the clerks rather than in discussion today. Are members agreed that I should write to the convener of the European and External Relations Committee, reiterating what we have agreed today?
Members indicated agreement.
