Good morning and welcome to the 17th meeting in 2014 of the European and External Relations Committee. I make the usual request that mobile phones and any other pieces of electronic equipment are switched off, because they can interfere with the broadcasting system. We have received apologies from Clare Adamson this morning.
Item 1 is a decision on taking agenda item 2 in private. We always take discussions on our work programme in private. Are members content to take item 2 in private?
Is there any particular reason to take it in private?
We always take deliberations on our work programme in private, because that allows us to look at all the options and have a franker exchange about them.
If the rest of the committee are happy to do that, I will go along with it.
It is just normal procedure—nothing different. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. We will now move into private session.
