I remind members to please ensure their mobile phones are switched off for the duration of the meeting, as they interfere with the broadcasting equipment even on silent mode. Are the minutes of the meeting of 5 March agreed? Agreed.

I will deal with a housekeeping issue relating to the private session on e-scrutiny regarding COM (2024) 27, the EU White Paper on options for enhancing support for research and development involving technologies with dual-use for civil and military potential. It was agreed that officials from the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science would be invited before the committee to brief us on COM (2024) 27 at our next meeting, to be held on 23 April. We will also send correspondence on it to the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. Is that agreed? Agreed.
