quote:We propose tradability at national level only, and we propose safeguards to protect legitimate public policy concerns like preventing too many fisheries interests to be concentrated in the hands of a few. And the small-scale fleet will be exempt, to prevent it from being absorbed by bigger operators.

 

 

 

don't apply to the uk then as what you have described has already happend. Unless the 25% are going to hand back a substantial amount of the 97% that they own., to 75% of the fleet.

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..

Quotas adrift

 

The European Commission's plan to reform the fishing industry is a welcome admission that the so-called Common Fisheries Policy is not working. Unfortunately, it will do little to solve the long-standing problem of over-fishing. Its proposal to phase out "discards" – the practice of throwing up to half the catch back into the sea to avoid exceeding the quota – makes for positive headlines, but will not of itself reduce the quantity of fish caught and landed. Nor can delegating the choice of enforcement and incentives to member states be the whole answer. Without political agreement in Brussels on the size of fishing fleets, there will be no prospect of restoring already dangerously depleted stocks.

Making the most of it

More on the proposed replacement quota system:

 

http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction...;guiLanguage=en

 

A system of transferable catch shares, known as 'concessions', will be introduced as from 2014 for vessels over 12 metres long and all vessels using towed gear.

 

Based on agreed principles at EU level the concessions will be distributed by Member States in a transparent way, and will grant their owner an entitlement to a share of the national fishing opportunity for each year.

 

Operators will be able to lease or trade their concessions within their Member state, not between Member states.

 

The concessions will have a minimum validity of 15 years but can be recalled before expiry in case of serious infringement by the holder.

 

Member States may create a reserve and introduce a fee for the concessions.

This minister must be wrong, he has the same opinion as me. And the bun fight is warming up nicely.

 

quote.

 

THE EU’s plan for the mandatory privatisation of fish quotas across Europe has been criticised by Minister for the Marine Simon Coveney, who warned that this could allow international companies to take over family-owned fishing fleets.

 

The proposal is one of a number published yesterday by the EU maritime and fisheries commissioner Maria Damanaki as a blueprint for reform of the controversial Common Fisheries Policy from 2013.

 

Mandatory privatisation would see national fish quotas allocated in Brussels but then sold off to the highest bidder. It could lead to a situation where a country might lose all control of the fish stocks within its own waters.

@LeonRosk #Discards: we will have minimum marketing size to avoid incentivising that undersized fish is targeted.

 

MariaDamanakiEU Maria Damanaki

@LeonRosk sea angling is responsability of member states. sea anglers will have healthier stocks with the reform
