Food (Figs, Hazelnuts and Pistachios from Turkey) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (SSI 2002/148)

Item 2 on the agenda is consideration of subordinate legislation. This morning we will consider five negative instruments.

This is the reason why all of us entered politics—the first instrument for consideration is the Food (Figs, Hazelnuts and Pistachios from Turkey) (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (SSI 2002/148). No comments on the instrument have been received from members. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has received from the Food Standards Agency explanations of some issues that that committee raised regarding the regulations. No motion to annul has been lodged, so the recommendation is that the committee does not wish to make any recommendation on the instrument. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
