I meet my EU counterparts on a regular basis at meetings of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council. These meetings provide valuable opportunities for Ministers to informally exchange views in the margins of the formal meetings. In addition, I have had a number of formal meetings with international colleagues, the details of which are set out in the following table.
