As we have a quorum, I call the meeting to order. At the request of the broadcasting and recording services, I am asking members to ensure their mobile phones are turned off completely. I would like to inform members that the broadcasting unit will broadcast the public session of this meeting live. The proceedings are being carried on UPC channel 207. We will deal with minutes, correspondence and other matters in private session.
