Sift

The next item is the sift of European Community and European Union documents and draft legislation, in paper EU/S2/06/6/4. The first item is flagged for this committee and the Enterprise and Culture Committee. It concerns two documents on the Lisbon strategy, the first of which deals with the transfer of businesses and the second of which deals with corporate social responsibility, which is an issue that the committee dealt with before I became a member. Those documents will prove useful during our work on the Lisbon strategy.

The second item is, again, flagged for the Enterprise and Culture Committee as well as this committee. It relates to the services directive. We will continue to monitor the progress of that important legislation.

Does the committee agree to refer the papers to the committees indicated?

Members indicated agreement.
