All right. For the record, the recommendations are, first, that the committee note that the World Health Organisation's international EMF project is expected to issue a formal risk assessment of all studied health outcomes from radiofrequency field exposure in 2014. Second, the view of the committee is that publication of the risk assessment will present a further opportunity for review of public policy in regard to non-ionising radiation. Third, the committee considers that in the interim any attempt to consider issues raised by the petition would almost certainly be inconclusive.

Finally, in the circumstances the committee has decided to close the petition. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Petition No. P00051/12 is from Mr. Michael Callanan regarding concerns about fishing legislation decisions. The committee had an opportunity to deliberate on this petition and I will take recommendations.
