To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-31980 by Ross Finnie on 10 December 2002, whether keeping the Common Fisheries Policy's (CFP) principle of relative stability central to a new CFP would not be facilitated by a permissive interpretation of the legal scope of the review Clause of EEC Regulation 3760/1992.

Ministers at the Agriculture and Fisheries Council in December voted in favour of retaining the principle of relative stability in quota allocation, as part of a wider package of CFP reforms.

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
