The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how often, and on what dates, from (a) 1999 to 2003 and (b) 2003 to 2007 an Executive official has been a member of the UK delegation to meetings of the EU Council when issues relating to genetically modified crops and foods have been on the agenda.

The answer

Answered by Sarah Boyack on 8 Feb 2007 · 9 days after it was lodged, on time

GM Issues have been identifiedin the business of the under‑noted Council meetings, but this list may notbe exhaustive because agendas can change and issues relating to genetically modifiedcrops and food may be raised during discussions of other items. The Executive doesnot keep comprehensive records of official attendance at Council meetings, but itis normal practice that an official is present at both the Agriculture and Fisheriesand Environment Council.
