The minutes of the meeting of 15 July have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed. Are the minutes of the meeting of 23 July agreed? Agreed.
Next on the agenda is correspondence deferred from our last meeting. No. R176 is correspondence forwarded for the information of the committee by the Joint Committee on European Scrutiny detailing decisions taken by that committee at its meeting of 15 July. Is it agreed that we note the correspondence? Agreed.
No. R177 is an e-mail from the initiative, a soul for Europe, inviting the committee to attend a conference in Berlin on 14 and 15 November 2008. The topics to be covered include the relationship between business, culture and policy making and harnessing the power of young members of civil society to promote Europe's development. Perhaps we should return to that matter.
