To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answers to questions S2W-24273 and S2W-24279 by Ross Finnie on 30 March 2006, what it considers to be a reasonable and appropriate timescale to work to in considering the implications of the Waddenzee judgement and what it considers would be appropriate implementation of the precautionary principle in the interim. As the sites to which your questionapply are now the subject of formal exchanges between the Scottish Executive andthe European Commission, I am unable to comment further at this stage.
