If you thought it was done and dusted at article 55 think again. This is the most up to date proposals for detailed rules to implement in full the Control Regulation 1224/2009 are at the link below, which was issued by Marine Scotland on 17th Feb, but relevant to all UK.

 

Below the link I have copied the bit most relative to RSA's

CHAPTER VIII

CONTROL OF RECREATIONAL FISHERIES

Article 64

Establishment of sampling plans

1. Without prejudice to the use of data as referred to in paragraph 5, sampling plans to be established by Member States in accordance with Article 55(3) of the Control Regulation for the purpose of monitoring catches of stocks subject to recovery plans practiced from vessels engaged in recreational fisheries shall provide for the collection of biennial data.

2. The methods used in the sampling plans shall be established clearly and shall be, as far as possible:

a) stable over time;

B. standardised within regions;

c) in accordance with the quality standards established by relevant international scientific bodies and, where appropriate, by the relevant Regional Fisheries Management Organisations to which the European Union is contracting party or observer.

3. The sampling plan shall include a sampling design for the estimation of catches of stocks subject to recovery plans, the gear used and the relevant geographical area of the recovery plan concerned where these catches where taken;

4. Member States shall estimate systematically the accuracy and precision of the collected data.

5. For the purpose of the sampling plans referred to in paragraph 1 Member States may use the data collected according to the multi annual Community programme as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 to the extent that such data are available.

6. This provision shall not apply when a Member State has prohibited recreational fisheries of stocks subject to a recovery plan.

 

Article 65

 

Notification and evaluation of sampling plans

 

1. Member States shall notify their sampling plans to the Commission twelve months after the entry into force of a recovery plan. For recovery plans which are already in force at the time of entry into force of this Regulation, the sampling plan shall be notified within twelve months after entry into force of this Regulation. Amendments of the sampling plan shall be notified before they become effective.

 

2. In addition to the evaluation requested in Article 55(4) of the Control Regulation, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries shall also evaluate:

a) after the notification referred to in paragraph 1 and every five years thereafter the conformity of the notified sampling plans with the criteria and requirements mentioned in Article 64(2) and (3) of this Regulation;

B. the conformity of any amendments to a sampling plan referred to in paragraph 1 with the criteria and requirements mentioned in Article 64(2) and (3) of this Regulation.

 

3. The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries shall make recommendations, where appropriate, for improving the sampling plan.

"Good news or bad?"

 

Bad Bob, very bad

 

They talk of 5 year sampling and recording of data and the returning of data collection every year by the member states to the EU fisheries committee so to me that says theres real longevity in these proposals and that the RSA is going to be put under the microscope in a way we've never seen before

 

The only exemption proposed is if a member state has a prohibition on fishing by the RSA on a species that is part of a dedicated recovery plan

 

Is that a backdoor way to get a ban on RSA activity on cod fishing as theres a cod recovery plan in most of the member states that share access to the North Sea?

 

Big Brother is coming and its out to get us

Load of bl@@dy rubbish. The likes of defra should be telling the eu to sling their hook. They can't get their house in order so why should they be climbing down the ladder to target the rsa. Thought disgard and the cfp where more important items to target.

 

What about this repping co called the trust, if they were really repping the rsa, they would join in and tell them to get lost. They don't deserve to be linked to the rsa.

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..

Hello Barry

 

Defra would be doing themselves out of lots of work if they did, any way the EU would impose hefty fines on the UK government if they don't conform.

 

On any conservation issues the trust will have to tow the WWF line so you won't get any slack there.

 

Fish on recovery plans that I am aware of are cod( all areas ), thornback ray (North Sea as far south as Folkstone) spurdogs (all areas) dover sole (south west)

I fish to live and live to fish.

You don't really have to ask that, do you Bob?

 

Well yes Steve, why not after all while you and I might not like it there are plenty of politicians in the EU who clearly do, along with the control freaks at DEFRA and one can be assured that among the ranks of RSAs there are bound to be some who might think this all very good for saving the marine part of our planet.

 

Among that group could there be any with the balls to post their views on here as I for one would love to know what drives their thinking.

 

Tight lines Bob :rolleyes:

There are little teams of scientists out there who have woken up to the fact that there is a whole new industry for them studying anglers. No doubt there is now an angling ICES working group formed that will have been driving this through the EU. It is called 'job creation based on political interest' and of course as political dispute intensifies the money will flow from central goverment so these lads are on the gravy train for several more years.

There is no way that DEFRA will tell the EU where to go.

 

We are doomed to be researched, regulated and eventually policed with DEfra and Natural Englang loving every minute of it
