Scrutiny
The next item is scrutiny of EC documents. Members have received the papers.
The recommendation for the three documents on page 1 is for priority scrutiny. I suggest that we ask the clerks to assess the documents' contents and relevance once we are clearer about the outcome of today's fisheries council. The documents are:
SP 1919 (EC Ref No 5657/01 COM(2000) 839 final)
SP 2202 (EC Ref No 7378/01 SEC(2001) 418)
SP 1842 (EC Ref No 14795/00 COM(2000) 841 final)
Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
For the following document, the recommendation is that we send it to the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee, that we stress to the committee the importance of developing a local dimension to the European employment strategy and that we ask it to inform us whether it wants to take the issue forward. The document is:
SP 1942 (EC Ref No 5489/01 COM(2000) 894 final)
Is the recommendation agreed to?
Members indicated agreement.
We await further information on the documents on page 3. The recommendation is that the following documents be deferred:
SP 2129 (EC Ref No 7408/01 EUROJUST 7)
SP 2160 (EC Ref No 7059/01 COPEN 10)

SP 2219 (EC Ref No 7984/01 COM(2001) 183 final)
Is that agreed?

The recommendation for the documents on page 4 is that we take no further action, but copy them to another committee for their interest. Those documents are:
SP 1811 (EC Ref No 14373/00 DROIPEN 60)
SP 2154 (EC Ref No 7669/01 COM(2001) 171 final)

Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
SP 2182, on page 6, is a final report from the European Commission on preparations for the introduction of euro notes and coins. Since we may consider the draft report that the clerks are preparing on the euro after the summer recess, might the report from the Commission be one that the committee should examine to get background information?
That is a good idea. We will make that document for priority scrutiny.
