Fisheries: Quotas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the implications for her policies of new fishing quotas agreed under the Common Fisheries Policy.
- Answer
-
During negotiations on the reform of the EU Common Fisheries Policy, which came into force in 2014, the UK secured a legally-binding commitment to manage fish stocks at maximum sustainable yield, an end to the wasteful discarding of fish and a new regional decision-making process.
These reforms will safeguard the future of our fish stocks for all who rely on them.
