European Union Legislative Proposals (Reporter)

Agenda item 3 concerns the appointment of an EU reporter. Members will have seen the paper that has been circulated, which contains suggestions from the European and External Relations Committee on the appointment of reporters. The Conveners Group discussed the issue and agreed the default position that deputy conveners of committees should act as reporters in this capacity, which seems reasonable. I am told that our deputy convener may agree to that.

I expected Charlie Gordon to take on the role, as he was interested in it. Failing that, I am happy to do it.

His face suggests that he may be happy for you to take it on. Do we agree to appoint Cathy Peattie to act as our reporter for the period of the pilot?

Members indicated agreement.

I remind members that our next meeting is scheduled for 8 February.

Meeting closed at 15:49.
