The minutes of the meeting of 30 November 2004 have been circulated. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed.
Correspondence has been received from Mr. Dermot Gallagher, Secretary General of the Department of Foreign Affairs, in relation to EU funding for the PEACE programmes in the post-2006 period. It is proposed to note this correspondence and come back to it when the substantive reply has been received from the Department of Finance.
A letter has been received from the ambassador and parliament of the Ukraine on proposed amendments to COSAC rules on procedure. I propose to note this correspondence and propose that it be dealt with by the next Presidency hosting the COSAC conference.
I propose that the joint committee agree to scrutinise the matters referred to it by the sub-committee on European scrutiny. The secretariat will make the necessary arrangements. Is that agreed? Agreed.
