Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether the First Minister would welcome a meeting with a delegation representing Scotland's fish processing industry with a view to assisting their campaign for a moratorium on the measures proposed for the implementation of the European Urban Waste Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC).
Answer
My Ministerial colleague with responsibility for rural affairs and I would welcome a meeting with a delegation representing the fish processing industry to discuss the problems it faces.
