Contaminants in Food Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (SSI 1999/171)
I do not know whether the committee wishes to draw any points to the attention of the Executive. There was a delay in bringing the matter to the committee.
A good new year to everybody.
I wanted to draw the committee's attention to the fact that although there has been a breach of the 21-day rule, the rural affairs department has apologised for that. We are pleased that that department has started the new year in contrite form. It is not an example that has been followed by Susan Deacon, who appears to have signed the regulations.
Perhaps of more importance is the fact that the Executive has had six months to implement these relatively minor regulations. I would like to ask the Executive whether there are any other EU regulations that should have been implemented but have not been and, if so, could they be drawn to our attention as a matter of urgency?
Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
