European Union Engagement 2011-12

Good morning and welcome to the 28th meeting in 2012 of the Health and Sport Committee. As usual, I remind everyone present that mobile phones and BlackBerrys should be switched off, as they can interfere with the sound system.

We have received apologies from Gil Paterson. It gives me pleasure to welcome back to the committee as substitute our former member Jim Eadie. Welcome, Jim.

The first item on our agenda is to approve a report to the European and External Relations Committee that sets out our European engagement over the past year. Under the changes to the Parliament’s European scrutiny arrangements, all subject committees are required to submit such a report annually. The report simply lists what the committee has undertaken on European matters. Do members agree the report?

Members indicated agreement.
