Item 3 concerns Moldova and involves a presentation by Deputy Eric Byrne. The subject of Moldova arose at a meeting of the joint committee before Christmas. It is timely that it is on today's agenda in view of the fact that the select committee is scheduled to consider the association agreements between the EU and Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia next week.

I now call on Deputy Byrne to address the joint committee.
