Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Joint Sitting with Joint Committee on European Union Affairs
First Vice-President of the European Commission, Mr. Frans Timmermans: Discussion
12:30 pm
Mr. Frans Timmermans:
Firstl, it is a great innovation to see members of the European Parliament participating in this debate. I highly welcome that. A number of member states do this and it leads to cross-fertilisation, which is extremely helpful for the work on both sides. Mr. Hayes also knows that he has put questions to me that I cannot answer at this stage.
