Seed (Fees) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (SSI 2014/167)
Agenda item 2 is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument that is subject to the negative procedure. I refer members to committee paper RACCE/S4/14/21/1 and note that no motion to annul has been received in relation to the regulations. Do members have comments?
This is just a small point on consultation, which is mentioned at the bottom of page 3 of the paper. I note that the Government consulted more than 150 interested parties but received only one response, which I think came from NFU Scotland. It is concerning if stakeholders are not engaging fully on issues that can affect them quite dramatically.
We note that. If there are no further comments, does the committee agree that it does not want to make any recommendation in relation to the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
