To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will make a statement on the 10% capacity reduction proposed for the UK in adjustments to the Multi Annual Guidance Programme and what implications any such reductions will have on Scotland's fishing industry. The Commission's proposals would require further substantial cuts in the UK fishing fleet, including notably the Scottish pelagic fleet, by end 2002.We support the conservation aims of the Multi-Annual Guidance Programmes but we do not believe it is reasonable for changes in MAGPIV to be proposed, without consultation, at this stage in the programme.
