It covers meetings and activities, declarations and press statements, as well as the six Decisions it adopted, four of which related to the Northern Ireland Protocol, one to citizens’ rights and one to arbitration. The committee was co-chaired by Cabinet Office minister Lord David Frost and Maroš Šefčovič, vice president of the European Commission.
