The Convener (Christina McKelvie)

Good morning and welcome to the first meeting in 2015 of the European and External Relations Committee. I make the usual request that mobile phones be switched off.

Our first agenda item is to welcome Anne McTaggart to the committee. Welcome, Anne—I hope that you enjoy your time on the committee. We are certainly doing a lot of interesting work and I am sure that you will find it interesting.

I take this opportunity to thank Alex Rowley for his contributions to the committee. I am sure that Alex’s legacy of looking at ferries and other infrastructure projects in relation to Europe through the committee will carry on into the coming year.

I invite Anne to make any necessary declaration of interests in relation to this committee.

Thank you, convener—I am pleased to be here. I refer people to my entry in the register of members’ interests.

Thank you. Jean Urquhart is attending the meeting today as she has a long-standing interest in our main topic. Welcome, Jean—you are more than welcome to contribute if you so wish.
