Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good afternoon and welcome to the eighth meeting of the European and External Relations Committee in the fourth session. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones and BlackBerrys are switched off, because they interfere with the recording equipment.

I have received apologies from Helen Eadie, who is attending another committee.

Agenda item 1 is a decision on whether to take items 8 and 9 in private. Item 8 is on horizon 2020 and our meeting with the stakeholders and item 9 is to allow the committee to discuss the evidence that we take today on European Union structural funds. Does the committee agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
