A
Okay
and
welcome
everyone
to
the
25th
meeting
in
2019
of
the
delegated
powers
and
Law
Reform
Committee
we've
got
apologies
today
from
Stuart
McMillen
gender
item
Warner's
to
propose
the
committee
takes
item
6
&
7
in
private.
Do
we
agree
to
do
that?
Okay
item
to
its
consideration
of
two
ssize
laid
under
the
European
Union
withdrawal
at
2018,
so
we're
considering
the
scrutiny
procedure
on
which
they've
been
laid
and
the
categorization
applied
by
the
Scottish
Government
we've
got
the
food
information
labeling
and
standards,
EU
exit,
Scotland
amendment
regulations,
2019,
SS,
I-285.
A
It's
been
laid
under
the
negative
procedure
and
it's
been
categorized
as
of
low
significance.
The
purpose
of
the
instrument
is
to
ensure
the
operability
of
domestic
food
legislation
following
the
UK's
exit
from
the
EU.
The
instrument
makes
technical
changes
to
ensure
continuity
of
law
after
exit
from
the
EU
and
inserts
transitional
provisions
into
several
existing
regulations.
A
This
will
provide
a
21-month
transitional
period
to
allow
the
food
industry
time
to
adjust
to
new
labeling
and
information
requirements
for
EU
businesses
and
food
products.
Following
the
UK's
exit
from
the
EU,
our
advisors
indicate
that
the
scrutiny
procedure
and
categorization
could
be
appropriate.
So
is
the
committee
content
that
the
appropriate
scrutiny
procedure
and
categorization
has
been
applied
to
the
instrument
content?
Okay?
A
Next
we've
got
the
seed
propagating
material
and
Common
Agricultural
Policy
EU
exit,
Scotland
amendment
regulations,
2019
SSI,
289,
that's
being
laid
under
the
negative
procedure
and
it's
been
categorized
as
of
low
significance
parts.
Three
and
four
of
these
regulations
are
made
under
the
European
Union
withdrawal.
Act
part
three
of
the
regulations,
corrects
deficiencies
and
part
four
revokes
and
reintroduces
provision
made
in
two
previous
EU
exit,
SS
eyes,
and
there
one
I
know
and
2:09.
Both
2019
our
advisors
indicate
that
the
scrutiny
procedure
and
categorization
could
be
appropriate.
A
So
are
we
happy
with
that
good
agenda
item
three
were
considering
instruments
subject
to
the
affirmative
procedure
and
no
points
have
been
raised
on
the
draft
victim
serve
charge,
Scotland
regulations,
2019
the
draft
victims
and
witnesses,
Scotland
act,
2014,
supplementary
provision,
order,
2019
and
the
draft
rehabilitation
of
offenders,
Act
1974
exclusions
and
exceptions,
Scotland
amendment
order.
2019
is
the
committee
content
with
these
instruments?
A
Okay,
if
you
could
speak
up
gents
because
Mary
is
struggling
with
her
voice,
help
her
out
immensely
agenda
item
four
were
considering
instruments,
subjects
a
negative
procedure.
No
points
have
been
raised
on
ssize
2019
to
80
zero.
Two
eight
two,
two
eight
four
or
two
