To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what steps his Department is taking to (a) protect and (b) police the shell fisheries industry in the Wash area.
The shellfisheries in the Wash are managed by the Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) through a combination of the Wash Fishery Order 1992 Regulations and local IFCA Byelaws. This includes the introduction of closed seasons, gear restriction and the use of permits to control access to certain fisheries. This is in addition to EU and UK regulations. The IFCA officers also work closely with Marine Management Organisation officers on enforcement operations within the Wash area.

The application to register the Colchester Native Oyster as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) was received in 2005. It was then the subject of a consultation in order to allow interested parties the opportunity to object to the application. A number of objections were received during the consultation process.
Since then, officials have met with representatives of the applicant group to discuss the objections and outstanding points relating to the product specification for the application. Following on from this further information relating to the geographical area and other aspects of the application was sought from the applicant
group which, despite reminders from officials, was not forthcoming. As a result, no further progress has been made with this application.
The PGI scheme is a voluntary one and so it is for the producers to decide whether they wish to pursue the application. Should they wish to do this then officials would be happy to meet with them to discuss the outstanding points which need to be resolved. This should then enable the application to be completed and a decision to be taken on its eligibility.
