Future Of The Fishing Industry And The Draft Constitution Of The European Union

EDM number 1354 in 2002-03, proposed by Angus Robertson on 05/06/2003.

That this House notes with concern that the draft constitution of the European Union lists amongst exclusive competences the conservation of marine biological resources under the Common Fisheries Policy; further notes the clarification of First Minister Jack McConnell to the Scottish Parliament on 29th May where he said that, 'Not only have we made representations on that matter, but we have written to the UK Government and asked it to oppose the proposal; not only has the UK Government made representations, but it has written to the EU to make it clear that it is also opposed to the proposal; not only is this Administration opposed to it, but the UK Government is opposed to it'; and calls for the UK Government to act on this in the Convention on the Future of Europe and Intergovernmental Conference of the European Union.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
