Scrutiny Committee on Cypriot Presidency Priorities

(Limited Text - Ministerial Extracts only)

Friday 6th July 2012 Written Statements

[The Minister for Europe (Mr David Lidington)]

I am keen to keep Members fully informed on developments in the European Union and their implications for the United Kingdom and our priorities. I would, therefore, like to draw Members’ attention to a paper on the priorities of the Cypriot presidency of the Council of the European Union, which has been placed in the Library of the House.

I have also deposited a copy of the Cypriot’s own presidency priorities paper, the official calendar of events and a list of key Cypriot personnel for the presidency.
