Chairman

With regard to the presentation on nuclear energy and the BENE presentation, is it agreed that we will send a transcript of the debate to the Minister and ask him to consider it in the context of an overall energy strategy? Agreed.

Is it agreed that we will issue a reasoned opinion on COM (2013) 627, a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down measures concerning the European single market for electronic communications and to achieve a connected continent, and amending Directives 2002/20/EC, 2002/21/EC and 2002/22/EC and Regulations (EC) No. 1211/2009 and (EU) No. 531/2012? Agreed.

It is my understanding that we also agreed that the committee would examine the overall energy strategy and add it to the work programme for next year.

Chairman

That was agreed and will be referred to in the minutes of the meeting.

The joint committee adjourned at 12.50 p.m. until 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 6 November 2013.
