Item 3 is the “Brussels Bulletin”. I ask members to be really swift with any comments, questions or clarifications on it.
I have a comment on the section on youth unemployment, which is on page 9. The bulletins are good, helpful and informative, but I would like more progress reporting in them if possible. We know what and where the youth unemployment issues are, but it would be helpful to the committee if we could see some progress updates from time to time.
We can definitely ask for that.
I was interested in the comments on the progress on the fourth anti-money laundering directive. I draw it to members’ attention that that will have an impact on us as individual MSPs if it passes.
Should we seek more detail on that?
We could do.
Do members agree to make the “Brussels Bulletin” available to other committees?
Members indicated agreement.
I suspend the meeting briefly to allow a quick comfort break and to get the Deputy First Minister in. I do not want to keep him waiting.
10:15 Meeting suspended.
