Sift
The next item is our sift of European Community and European Union documents. Can we note the paper and forward it to the relevant committees?
Members indicated agreement.
That brings us to the end of today's meeting. The next meeting is on 4 March. We thought that we might be able to schedule an extra meeting on 17 February with Stephen Timms, the UK Minister of State for e-Commerce and Competitiveness, but that has fallen through.
At the meeting on 4 March we will have quite a hefty agenda because we will hear a minister give evidence on the Executive's EU priorities and we will discuss the committee's report on the future of Europe. We will also discuss our draft report on the European employment strategy and corporate social responsibility. It will be quite a lengthy meeting.
We have only one meeting after that and we still have to discuss Helen Eadie's report on food supplements. At the final meeting, we will still have to do our scrutiny and clear up the few bits and pieces that are left over. We will be busy for the next month, although some committees are winding down. It is great that we are coming to the end of our report, which will be an interesting piece of work. It will be worth while taking the time at the next meeting to go through it.
I thank committee members and the public for their attendance.
Meeting closed at 16:39.
