We move on to the paper on co-operation with Saxony-Anhalt. Although the situation is similar to that with the Flemish and Catalan Parliaments, we are possibly a stage further forward, because committee members have met members of the Economics, Technology and European Affairs Committee of the Saxony-Anhalt Parliament. I understand that the elections in Saxony-Anhalt were held yesterday and that there have been substantial changes. Ben Wallace and his colleagues from Saxony-Anhalt will be much more in the majority than was previously the case, when Ben was worried about being the only Conservative at the meeting.
That can happen here.
Dream on.
There might be some changes in the personalities who attend. We await the final results.
Do we still want to talk to them?
We will still talk to them.
We will talk to anybody, within reason.
The officials in Saxony-Anhalt, along with the politicians, were keen to advance the proposals in the paper to ensure co-operation. Some of the officials will come to Scotland later this week for the meeting on INTERREG with the Strathclyde European Partnership, which they mentioned to us. I hope that there will be further developments in that area. Do colleagues wish to comment on the paper?

Perhaps we should say "in due course" or "as information becomes available", or some such phrase. Are colleagues happy to agree to the contents of the report, bearing in mind the amendment that Ben Wallace has suggested?
