Well-known member
If so you may be interested in a proposal that has suddenly appeared from Brussels.
Monitoring of Recreational Fisheries Article 47
a, Recreational fisheries on a vessel in Community waters on a stock subject to a multiannual plan shall be subject to an authorisation for that vessel issued by the flag Member State.
b, Catches in recreational fisheries on stocks subject to a multiannual plan shall be registered by the flag Member State.
c, Catches of species subject to a multiannual plan by recreational fisheries shall be counted against the relevant quotas of the flag Member State. The Member States concerned shall establish a share from such quotas to be used exclusively for the purpose of recreational fisheries.
d, The marketing of catches from a recreational fishery shall be prohibited except for philanthropic purposes.
A copy of the full draft regulation can be found at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2008:0721:FIN:EN:PDF
European Commission - Fisheries - Fisheries: Commission proposes radical overhaul of control framework
Four sentences from a huge document all concerned with updating the CFP and more details are available on the SACN website. Consultation on new EU RSA Regulations (Updated 4 Dec 08)
This is potentially far more threatening to our sport than the license issue was.
Defra (who knew nothing about this proposal) are looking for responses to the proposal to be with them by january 5th. I am hoping to put together a response on behalf of NESACN and would welcome any comments or suggestions of what that response should be.
We do need to make as many people/tackle dealers/marinas/chandlers/charter skippers as possible aware of this proposal so please print this off and drop it in where appropriate.
One final bit of bad news....the wording of paragraph 3 does not make it clear wether these regulations only apply to boats.
c, Catches of species subject to a multiannual plan by recreational fisheries shall be counted against the relevant quotas of the flag Member State. The Member States concerned shall establish a share from such quotas to be used exclusively for the purpose of recreational fisheries.
There is no mention of vessels and therefore shore angling for cod/whiting and mackrel would have to cease once the quota was filled.
Comments please guys.
Cheers
Dave
