Decisions on Taking Business in Private

The Convener (Irene Oldfather):

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2009 of the European and External Relations Committee. We have received apologies from Jamie Hepburn and Sandra White. Gil Paterson is Jamie Hepburn's substitute; we welcome him to the meeting.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take items 6, 7 and 8 in private. Under item 6, the committee will consider further work on Malawi; under items 7 and 8, we will consider key themes arising from today's evidence sessions. Do members agree to take items 6, 7 and 8 in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Agenda item 2 is to decide whether to consider in private at our next meeting our draft report on the European Union's response to the financial crisis. Do members agree to do so?

Members indicated agreement.
