436 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the schedule of EU ministerial summits and conferences; and the locations of each during the Irish Presidency of the European Union in 2004. [20158/03]
The draft calendar of Council meetings which will be held in Brussels and Luxembourg during our Presidency has been circulated to our EU partners and a copy placed in the Oireachtas Library last week. The two scheduled European Council meetings will be held in Brussels.
As far as meetings in Ireland are concerned, I will be hosting an informal EU Foreign Ministers meeting in Tullamore on 16-17 April 2004. Six other informal ministerial meetings as well as other high level conferences will also be held in Ireland during the Presidency and I have arranged that a calendar of such high level meetings, giving details of dates and locations, be deposited in the Oireachtas Library and kept regularly updated.
