Item 7 is European Union issues, for which members have a paper. The most pertinent information relates to the common agricultural policy health check, on which there is a debate tomorrow morning.
I have a comment about the fisheries section of the paper, particularly in relation to the Scottish Government's consultation paper on safeguarding our fishing rights and quotas. It would be useful if the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment came to committee to discuss that further.
The away day is coming up. We can talk about fitting that into the future work programme. We will return to fisheries-related issues anyway.
As I understand it, we will return to them sooner rather than later, because the science will be available this year.
We will park that point with our discussion of the away day. If there are no further comments, we note the update.
Meeting continued in private until 12:32.
