Official Report 238KB pdf
We move now to item 3 on the agenda, which is to consider the Prohibition of Fishing with Multiple Trawls (No 2) (Scotland) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/405) under the negative procedure. Members will be aware that the original order met significant discussion. The No 2 order is a redraft of the original instrument. Do any members have comments?
Given that the measure puts conservation of fish stocks at the top of the agenda, the committee should welcome it. The committee will have to discuss that issue in future. For that reason, it is imperative that we receive many more such orders as soon as possible, given the outcomes of the fishery talks last week.
As there are no further comments, is it fair to say that the committee wishes to make no recommendations in its report to Parliament?
Members indicated agreement.
