Sea Pollution (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I made most of the comments I wish to make on this matter in respect of the Oil Pollution of the Sea (Civil Liability and Compensation) (Amendment) Bill. The Joint Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources will be debating aquaculture in the near future. I hope the Minister of State will have received the legal advice before that debate takes place because, as stated previously, we are anxious that the aquaculture industry should be seen as respectable and should enjoy consumer confidence. Consumers should feel that the industry is operating to proper standards, etc. I look forward to the legal advice being finalised at an early date, hopefully before the committee engages in its debate on aquaculture.
