Is it agreed that we will draft a proposal for agreement next week and that when this is ready, we will forward it to the Commission, the Minister and his officials and the organisations represented at this meeting? Agreed. Drawing up such a proposal would certainly do no harm and, in my view, it would be of assistance. From a political perspective, it is important that we, as a committee, should be in agreement on said proposal. There should be all-party support for the Irish cause in respect of these key negotiations, which take place every year.

I thank members for their contributions to the debate. As there is no further business, we will conclude proceedings.
