Excellent. I thank the ambassador. This meeting has been interesting, as Ireland and Greece share much in common. We wish her and her fellow countrymen the best in the important job that they will do for all Europeans during the next six months.

I do not propose to go into private session just to take the correspondence as noted. Is that agreed? Agreed. I thank the secretariat and our guests and apologise for the interruption in the middle of the meeting.

As there is no other business, we will adjourn until next Thursday at 2 p.m. when we will meet with Ms Catherine Day, Secretary General of the European Commission.
