Regulatory Alignment with European Union Law

The committee will now consider the first report on the European Union law tracker.

The report was commissioned by the Scottish Parliament’s Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee to provide an analysis of developments in EU law and Scots law. The intention is that it will enable the Parliament to monitor the Scottish Government’s commitment to regulatory alignment. There is an expectation that subject committees will consider each EU law tracker report.

The clerks have set out the four case studies that relate to the remit of our committee. They propose that the committee write to the Scottish Government to ask a number of questions. Do members have any comments on the EU law tracker report?

As no member wishes to comment, are members content that the clerks write a letter to the Scottish Government with a number of questions?

Members indicated agreement.

That concludes our business in public. We will now move into private session.
