Sift

The Convener:

We move on to the regular sift of European Community and EU documents and draft legislation. As usual, certain items have been flagged up in paper EU/S2/05/18/4 as being of special importance.

First is the communication from the Commission on modernising education and training, which is a draft progress report on the implementation of the education and training 2010 work programme. I recommend that we send that to our colleagues on the Education Committee and the Enterprise and Culture Committee. The second matter is a proposal on the submission of data on the landings of fishery products, which is obviously of interest to our colleagues on the Environment and Rural Development Committee. The third matter is the proposals and key competences for lifelong learning, which should be sent to the Enterprise and Culture Committee. Finally, the communication on the policies for small and medium-sized enterprises on growth and employment will also interest the Enterprise and Culture Committee.

Do members agree to refer those documents to the committees that are indicated in the paper?

Members indicated agreement.

Are there any other comments on that?

It is a good paper.
