Aidan Davitt (Fianna Fail)

I thank the ambassador. He has been very frank and open with the committee. He gave detailed answers on a range of issues, a lot of them probably outside his and the committee's control. It was great to have them aired. As Denmark has taken on such an important role as of yesterday, the committee is delighted to hear the ambassador's opinions. On behalf of the committee, I thank him and Ms Christensen for engaging with us today. We look forward to working with Denmark over the next six months of its Presidency. Members of our committee will attend COSAC and the plenary meetings in Copenhagen in late November.

The committee will conclude its public session and go into private session as we have issues to discuss.
