Minutes:
The
Committee considered the petition for the first time and agreed:
·
to
close the petition, given the strong argument that it should not have been accepted
as admissible when submitted as it appears that the Assembly does not have the power
to implement the petition; and
·
when
writing to the petitioner to include a link to the transcript of the plenary
debate on the issue which took place on 10 December 2014.
