I will read each legislative proposal and we can agree each one as required.

The first proposal is COM (2012) 407, a decision of the European Parliament and the Council establishing a Union action for the European Capitals of Culture for the years ending 2020 and 2033. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next proposal is COM (2012) 520, a Council decision on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union at the 32nd Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats (Bern Convention). It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next proposal is COM (2012) 550, a Council decision authorising member states who are contracting parties to the Vienna Convention on Civil Liberty for Nuclear Damage of 21 May 1963 (Vienna Convention) to ratify the protocol amending that convention in the interest of the EU or to accede to it. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next proposal is COM (2012) 561, a Council regulation establishing a Community system for registration of carriers of radioactive materials. It is proposed that this proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

That is the end of the meeting. I wish you all a very happy Christmas and see you in the new year.
