We have a quorum and are in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Dooley. I draw members' attention to the need to switch mobile phones off completely or put them in airplane mode. This morning we are considering the draft report for a reasoned opinion and motion on COM (2016) 198, proposal regarding a directive on the disclosure of income tax. At our meeting yesterday, the committee agreed that a breach of subsidiarity had arisen in this regard and agreed to send a reasoned opinion to the EU institutions on that basis. We are meeting today to consider and approve the draft report for a reasoned opinion and a motion to be sent to the Dáil on COM (2016) 198 for approval. These documents were circulated to members in advance and I propose we go into private session to consider them. Is that agreed? Agreed.
