Trade Inquiry

The Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee is seeking views on the public sector's support for exports, international trade and the attraction of inward investment.

The inquiry will also focus on areas including:

• the economic rationale for trade development and promotion in Scotland
• whether public-sector support is adequate given the current economic climate
• the type of support businesses would like to see being supplied
• the methods used by other countries to maximise international-trade activities and inward investment, and whether Scotland can learn from them.

The closing date for written submissions is Friday 5 March 2010.
