We are now in public session to scrutinise EU legislative proposals. COM (2012) 498 deals with establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and fisheries exploiting those stocks. Is it agreed to note the responses received from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine dated 17 December 2012 and 23 January 2013? Agreed. It is proposed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

COM (2012) 535 is an amendment to COM (2011) 626 final/3, for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common organisation of markets in agricultural products. It is proposed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny

COM (2012) 552 is an amendment to COM (2011) 625 final/3, for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy. Is it agreed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny? Agreed.

COM (2012) 553 is an amendment to COM (2011) 627 final/3, for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
