No. 5 on our agenda is the pre-ECOFIN Council briefing for February 2014. I welcome the Minister for Finance and his officials. The purpose of the meeting is to consider items on the draft agenda for the meeting next week of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council. The Minister will make his opening remarks which will be followed by a question and answer session. I remind members, delegates and those in the Visitors Gallery that all mobile telephones must be switched off in order to avoid interference with the broadcasting of the meeting.
