Decision on Taking Business in Private

Good morning, colleagues, and welcome to the 11th meeting in 2009 of the European and External Relations Committee. I have received no apologies.

Agenda item 1 is to decide whether to take in private items 5, 6, 7 and 8. Item 5 is consideration of our approach to invitations to the ambassadors of European Union presidency nations, item 6 is consideration of a draft report on the China plan inquiry, item 7 is consideration of witnesses for the EU budget review inquiry, and item 8 is a discussion of and deliberation on today's oral evidence session on the Scottish Government's European Union priorities with the Minister for Culture, External Affairs and the Constitution. Do members agree to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.
