It is very important to have the EU perspective during the scrutiny of this Bill and recognising the large mandate both witnesses have. The committee invited an EU representative from each of the parties and groupings, so we appreciate the attendance of the witnesses. Each member will have seven minutes and we should use our time within the seven minutes for both questions and answers. Non-members will come in after all members have spoken and I will allow either three minutes or five minutes.
