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:
Certainly. The Deputy also spoke about the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly having one view and the ODIHR having another. While we held the chair of the OSCE, we regretted that there were differences in assessment between the two on a regular basis and it is a shame that this continues to be the case. We are not apportioning blame, but clearly it would be better if there was a single OSCE perspective.
