2. Item 2 18th Nov 2006 | Fulfilment Projet The Panel considered a projet entitled Fulfilment Industry Policy , which had been developed based upon the recommendations of S.R.7/2006 The impact of the fulfilment industry on the local economy', presented to the States on Monday 30th October 2006. The Panel recalled that it had decided to develop the aforementioned projet in light of the lack of action from the Council of Ministers in respect of the recommendations of S.R.7/2006. The Panel approved the projet and directed that it be lodged as soon as possible, to be debated in January 2007. | NJF |
3. | Dairy Review – Update Deputy Breckon informed the Panel that the final draft of the Promar consultants' report had been received, and considered, and that there was disagreement between the Jersey Milk Marketing Board and Promar consultants concerning the conclusions. The report contained references to farmers as subsidy aware', amongst other things, and some of the phraseology used had been challenged. Deputy Breckon confirmed that 11th, 12th, and 13th December were the provisional public hearing dates for the Dairy sub-Panel. In respect of those hearings, the Panel agreed to make funds to the sum of up to £5,000 available to the Economic Affairs sub-Panel (Dairy Review) as necessary for recording, transcription, and sundry expenses. |

4. | Mobile Recording System |
|
The Panel considered a report detailing the purchase cost of a mobile recording system.
The Panel noted that the acquisition of such a system would allow the Panel and other to hold hearings in areas around the island, many of which were more suitable for large groups of attendees than the rooms in the States building. This would also allow the panels to more easily hold hearings in the evenings, which it was hoped would improve attendance.
The Panel decided that it would be appropriate for the Chairmen's Committee to undertake such a purchase. The Chairman was therefore delegated to approach the Chairmen's Committee with AB the matter, and recommend such a system be purchased.
