EC/EU Legislation (Implementation)

Members will recall that we receive a complex document on EC/EU legislation and that the clerks usually prepare an accompanying report. There has not been time to do that for this meeting. I have briefly gone through the paper, but rather than run through all my points at this time of the day, I invite members to make comments to Stephen Imrie or David Simpson. I will ask for a report to be provided for the next meeting, when we could discuss the paper in further detail. Is that agreeable?

Members indicated agreement.

I wish all committee members a very merry Christmas and I thank them all for their support in the past year. We have done some great work. I echo what Helen Eadie said. I was at the Tun for a meeting with the University of Edinburgh during the week. As committee members, we just get on and do the business, but sometimes we do not realise that people are reading our reports and commenting on our work. Those comments tend to be positive.

I thank all committee members for their work, in particular our reporters, who have put in a great deal of work. I know that the committee wants me to thank the clerks and the Scottish Parliament information centre for their work in assisting the committee to produce its reports.

Meeting closed at 16:33.
