Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

EU Scrutiny Reports 2012: Discussion with Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

3:40 pm

Mr. David Donoghue:

Obviously there are synergies between all three. The OSCE has a security-oriented remit, while the Council of Europe has more of a human rights one. There are areas in which they can definitely achieve economy of effort. I am not au fait with where the study stands, but we would be very happy to come back to the Deputy on that issue.
