Scottish Parliament European Committee Tuesday 13 June 2000 (Afternoon)

[The Convener opened the meeting at 14:56]

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 12th meeting in 2000 of the European Committee. I have received apologies from Tavish Scott, who is at another meeting. I think that Sylvia Jackson is attending the Local Government Committee, but she hopes to be here later.

Professor Joe Painter, from the University of Durham, is carrying out some research work and will be around this afternoon, this evening and tomorrow morning. He is particularly keen to speak to members of the European Committee and he would be delighted to have a word with members who have time at the end of the meeting, this evening or tomorrow morning. He is sitting at the back of the room with his hand in the air.
