We are now moving to No. 7, which is engagement with the Minister for Finance and for Public Expenditure and Reform on EU budget 2021 negotiations, EU 2018 country-specific recommendations and on finance and banking union.

I welcome the Minister and his officials to this meeting. I understand we are to conclude the meeting at 5 p.m. so members should use their time wisely. I invite the Minister to make his opening statement.
