The proceedings will start on Thursday morning, 14 November, at 9 a.m. with an informal meeting with representatives of the European Parliament to discuss issues related to banking union and other financial service dossiers. The people attending that meeting are members of the European Parliament and the two Presidents, the Lithuanian finance Minister who holds the Presidency and the Greek finance Minister who is the incoming President. The rest of the member states will not be represented and our interests will be looked after by the Commission. I will be in Dublin while that part of the process is happening. At 10.30 a.m. there will be a meeting with the social partners - employer and trade union representatives - to discuss the macro-economic issues. Again it will be the current President who is the Lithuanian finance Minister and his successor, the next President, the Greek finance Minister.
