Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee’s 20th meeting in 2019. I ask members to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent.

Agenda item 1 is consent notifications on three United Kingdom statutory instruments, which cover common organisation of the markets, agricultural products, plant health and veterinary surgeons. All three instruments are being laid in the UK Parliament in relation to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Since members have no comments, does the committee agree to write to the Scottish Government to confirm that it is content to consent to the UK SIs referred to in the notifications?

Members indicated agreement.
