Before the Committee meets with Minister Fitzgerald, we will consider a number of EU legislative proposals.

Schedule B: COM(2013)436 council decision on subjecting 5-(2-aminopropyl)indole to control measures
Deputy Buttimer said: “Oireachtas Committees are playing an ever more important role in the oversight of EU legislation. We look forward to considering a range of EU legislative proposals in the area of health and medicine and decide what further action to take in respect of these important pieces of EU legislation.”
The meeting starts at 9.30am on Thursday, 10th October 2013 in Committee Room 2, LH 2000. It will commence with consideration of the EU proposals in private session. The recommendations by the Committee will then be outlined in public session.
