Sift

Agenda item 4 is the sift of EU and EC documents and draft legislation. There are a number of points in the "Documents of Special Importance" section of the sift document. The first document is aimed at

"Addressing the concerns of young people in Europe—implementing the European Youth Pact and promoting active citizenship".

I recommend that we send that to our colleagues on the Education Committee and the Enterprise and Culture Committee. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

The second document is a communication from the European Commission on the review of the scope of the universal service directive. I propose to forward the document to the Enterprise and Culture Committee. Thirdly, there is a progress report on cohesion, which we will require to look at in due course. The Enterprise and Culture Committee should consider that report, too. Finally, there is a series of related documents on the European year of equal opportunities for all, 2007, which I am sure will be of interest to our colleagues on the Equal Opportunities Committee.

Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
