Juat do what farmers do swapping food i have swapped fish for a sack of spuds or a peice of meat or a dozen eggs i have a few mates who are farmers and we have swapped between us for years they all seem to love fish i would never take any money anyway so there would never be no money changeing hands .

Paul,

 

I think that you might find that's the very reason that the English translation refers to the prohibition of 'marketing', rather than 'selling'.

Yes, but define marketing!

I would see marketing as advertising the fact that you have, will have or can arrange to have fish to sell. Not quite the same as swapping a few fillets for a leg of lamb in the pub is it?

 

Rather unenforceable as well I'd have thought!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

:lol: What a good idea, I could take my "surplus" bass or cod to my local chinese and swap them for a take away, saves all that gutting and filletting. :lol:

When the legislation was being framed it was put to the officials (via the European Anglers Alliance) studying the drafts that 'marketing' might mean that if I offered someone a fish but he declined to buy, I would be guilty of an offence as I'd 'marketed' the fish even without a sale, whereas if someone came up to me and said 'I'll buy that fish' and I sold it to him, I would have sold it but I hadn't 'marketed' it, and that 'selling' would be a better word to use.

 

However it appeared that 'marketing' was the closest English word to the broader (I believe) French word/phrase used in the original drafting of article 47 (now article 55).

 

Unfortunately perhaps, the applicability of the European legislation doesn't depend upon the subtlety of dictionary meanings across the different language translations.

 

I guess that it will be up to the courts of the EU to determine whether or not it applies, though I suspect that I know what the outcome will be.

That question has got to be a wind up, Elton. This bloke has recently started beach fishing and he's already catching so many fish, that he's thinking of selling them! Yeah, right.

 

You should have just told him that there isn't much of a market for rockling, pouting and pin whiting.

He may have found a good spot for bootlaces and wants to 'beat the ban'!

Cor, just think Norm, i can get off the boat this weekend following the slaughter, nip into the sailors, few bevies for a few fillets. Upto asda, see if the manager wants to play ball over a turkey. Down the garage and swap a few more fillets for a tank full. Sure i can go in the front door of the local restaurant, fillets in hand, for a steak dianne, as no doubt i will be sick of the sight of the amount of fish i have to shovel into the freezer. Same as me local chippy, Won't need to waste any gas on cooking them anymore as i'll just pop down there for me supper, never have to use me wallet again. Yup sounds like utopia, to me. :rolleyes:;)

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..
