Good morning and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2014 of the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee.
I remind everyone present to switch off their mobile phones and so on, apart from people who use tablets, which are the only electronic equipment that should be switched on.
I note with great sadness that the committee learned that Professor Laurence Mee passed away suddenly last Wednesday. He had been due to give evidence on the marine protected areas at last week’s meeting and was highly regarded and respected as an expert in his field. Our sympathies are with his family, friends and colleagues.
Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Act 2013 (Specification of Commercially Damaging Species) Order 2014 (SSI 2014/176)
Protection of Seals (Designation of Haul-Out Sites) (Scotland) Order 2014 (SSI 2014/185)
The first agenda item is consideration of the Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Act 2013 (Specification of Commercially Damaging Species) Order 2014 and the Protection of Seals (Designation of Haul-Out Sites) (Scotland) Order 2014.
Members should note that no motion to annul has been received in relation to the orders. I refer members to the papers. If there are no comments, is the committee agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the orders?
Members indicated agreement.
