Plastic Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Scotland) Regulations 2009<br />(SSI 2009/30)

Good morning and welcome to the seventh meeting in 2009 of the Health and Sport Committee. I remind all members and witnesses to switch off their mobile phones and other electronic equipment. Apologies have been received from Dr Richard Simpson.

The first item on the agenda is consideration of subordinate legislation. We have before us SSI 2009/30, which is subject to the negative procedure, and which will revoke and reinstate with changes the Plastic Materials and Articles in Contact with Food (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/127). The changes reflect changes that European directive 2008/39/EC made to the list of authorised substances and additives. No comments have been received from members and no motions to annul have been lodged. The instrument was not drawn to our attention by the Subordinate Legislation Committee. Are we agreed that we do not wish to make any recommendations on it?

Members indicated agreement.
