European Maritime Strategy

Item 4 is a paper about the European maritime strategy. Basically, it involves correspondence from the Scottish Government in response to a letter from me to the Minister for Europe, External Affairs and Culture. There is quite a lot there—not just the letters, but a detailed annex.

The recommendations are:

"to monitor the Scottish Government's delivery of its EU priority on the Maritime Policy"

and

"To copy the Minister's response to the Environment and Rural Affairs Committee."

Are members content to agree to the recommendations?

Members indicated agreement.
