Sift
We move to item 5, the sift of European Commission and European Union documents on draft legislation. Four items have been flagged up as being of special importance for other committees. First, we are sending to our colleagues on the Local Government and Transport Committee the revised proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on public passenger services.
Secondly, there is the Commission road-map on dealing with TSEs—transmissible spongiform encephalopathies—which are the animal diseases of BSE—bovine spongiform encephalopathy—and scrapie. The roadmap may be of interest to the Environment and Rural Development Committee.
Thirdly, we have the details of a proposal to extend in 2006 the programme on good practices and the monitoring of the information communication technologies take-up, which is a key pillar of the Lisbon strategy. That is for the Enterprise and Culture Committee.
Finally, another one for the Environment and Rural Development Committee: Community contributions to member states' fisheries control programmes.
Is there anything that members would like to raise, or do we agree with the recommendations in the sift paper?
Members indicated agreement.
Well, that was quick.
