The Council meets four times annually and deals with the fields of the internal single market, industry, space, research and innovation. The development of the single market is one of the main policy areas for the competitiveness council. The Minister will brief Committee members ahead of the forthcoming COMPET meeting on 10th and 11th December. Our Committee engagement with the Minister tomorrow is a valuable opportunity to explore Irish government policy, issues of concern and key priorities in the area of competition, innovation and the development of the single market with the Minister in advance of this meeting.”
