Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Forthcoming Competitiveness Council Meeting: Discussion with Minister of State

2:15 pm

Mr. Tommy Murray:

It is probably a case of speaking too long and spending too many hours in the company of various Commission acolytes. I agree with the Minister of State that it is just terminology or Euro-speak. Unfortunately, that is the language that we use around the Councils and with the Commission.

The industrial policy review will also come out and the Cypriot Presidency shall draft conclusions on same. The review's sectoral focus is very good and Ireland can support them. Some of the traditional industries like agrifood and tourism will be supported as well as ICTs and key enabling technologies. It is a plan that we can support, drive and emphasise during our Presidency. I am not sure if there are other comments.
