On matters where further action is proposed, the following are for referral to sectoral committee for detailed scrutiny. COM(2010)475 is on a single European area. Given Ireland's small and isolated rail network and the derogations which currently apply to Ireland, many of the changes being proposed with this directive may not in the short term apply to Ireland. However, it is important that it is understood how this proposal, the related Commission communication document and other Commission proposals may apply, both in the short and medium term, to our railway network. It is proposed to forward this proposal for detailed scrutiny to the Joint Committee on Transport. Is that agreed? Agreed.
COM(2010)624 is a proposal for a regulation on the establishment of an evaluation mechanism to verify application of the Schengen acquis. Given the serious concerns raised by the Department on Ireland’s exclusion from the negotiation and adoption of this proposal and the effective freezing out of Ireland from a key part of the Schengen evaluation framework, it is proposed that this Title V measure warrants further scrutiny. To that end, it is proposed to forward this proposal for detailed scrutiny to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Women’s Rights. Is that agreed? Agreed.
On item 2, matters where no further scrutiny is proposed, the following are to be sent to sectoral committees for information. Item 2.1, COM (2010) 555, is on the establishment of EURODAC for the comparison of fingerprints. Based on the available information, this proposal would appear to be substantially the same as COM (2008) 825, which was considered by the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights on 24 February 2009, prior to the approval by both Houses of the Oireachtas of Ireland's opting into the measure. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. It is also proposed that the proposal be sent for information to the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Women's Rights. It is also proposed that the additional information note received from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform be sent to the committee for information. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 2.2, COM (2010) 658, is a proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks for EU vessels. Given that it has been finalised at Council level, it is proposed to note this proposal. However, given the major significance of this proposal for the Irish fishing industry, it is also proposed that the proposal be sent for information to the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Under matters where further action is not proposed, item 3, is the following: CFSP(2010)Post Adopt 1012225 Sanctions, restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is proposed to note this CFSP measure. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 4, under matters for no further scrutiny, there is item 4.1, COM (2010) 397, duty-free treatment for specified pharmaceutical active ingredients. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 4.2, COM (2010) 678, is on EU staff salary adjustment. In light of the technical nature of this matter, it is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
On item 4.3, COM (2010) 688, a fishing agreement with the Seychelles, and COM (2010) 689 and COM (2010) 690, in light of the information provided, it is proposed that these proposals do not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 4.6, COM (2010) 693 is on fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks applicable in the Black Sea. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 4.7, COM (2010) 703, is on anti-dumping duties on imports of synthetic fibre ropes originating in India. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
Item 4.8, COM (2010) 760, is on mobilisation of the flexibility instrument. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.
