Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I move:

That Seanad Éireann approves the following scheme in draft:

an initiative of the Italian Republic with a view to adopting a Council Directive on assistance in cases of transit through the territory of one or more Member States in the context of removal orders by Member States against third-country nationals,

copies of which have been laid in draft form before Seanad Éireann on 6th October, 2003, be referred to the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights in accordance with paragraph (1)(Seanad) of the Orders of Reference of that Committee, which shall, not later than 18th November, 2003, send a message to the Seanad in the manner prescribed in Standing Order 67, and Standing Order 69(2) shall accordingly apply.

Question put and agreed to.
