I remind members and witnesses to turn off their mobile phones.

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the post/pre European Council meeting on agriculture and fisheries, AGRIFISH, the sea fisheries sustainability impact assessment and for the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to give the committee an update on the Common Agricultural Policy, CAP, negotiations.

We will start with the CAP issue.
