Brussels Bulletin

Speaking of Brussels, the next item is the latest edition of the Brussels Bulletin. It is dated 12 May—it is hot from the presses.

The directive on renewable energy is important in relation to offshore wind power. There could be a significant impact for Scotland. Perhaps we should highlight the matter to the relevant committee for it to consider. The timescale for the Commission's public consultation on the matter is quite short.

We can certainly do that.

As there are no other comments on the Brussels Bulletin, we come now to the last item on the agenda, which we have agreed to take in private.

Meeting continued in private until 12:07.
