Decision on Taking Business in Private

I welcome you all to the seventh meeting of the European and External Relations Committee in the fourth session. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones and BlackBerrys are switched off, because they interfere with the recording equipment.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 6 and 7 in private. Under item 6, the committee will consider whether to appoint a reporter to attend a conference on horizon 2020 and will discuss the evidence that we garner from our horizon 2020 round-table discussion. Under item 7, we will discuss two draft reports on the draft budget 2012-13. Is the committee content to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
