Re: Crunch week???

Since when do EU rules apply to russia?
Come on, you can do better!

Re: Crunch week???

Hi

Fisheries are devolved.

Scotland can make it's own arrangements, as can Wales and NI.

English Fisheries are minimal in overall terms of catch, but a lock out will severely hurt the French,Belgium and Holland.

Re: Crunch week???

Apparently the waters involved come under the faroes islands
jurisdiction Swimmy??
What a complicated web we have woven??
Now who controls the Faroes?

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔

Re: Crunch week???

The faroe islands have a right to fish in UK waters, in exchange for the UK fishing cod, haddock etc in faroe waters.
The faroe have sold these rights in part to russia. The UK sold their rights for faroe waters, as well as their own UK waters, to dutch supertrawlers.

Re: Crunch week???

You're right Bread. It's up to the EU to sort this out until the end of December 2020.

Re: Crunch week???

Yep

Quotas are allocated in January each year.

Re: Crunch week???

Okay man, so the russians legally fish there. Is that what you are saying?

Re: Crunch week???

I can see you've read your own link:

We can also only hope that the Scottish Government's comment actually now means that they can get aboard and undertake effective policing of these vessels rather than just 'keep an eye on them'!"

Neither did Mr Percy absolve the UK Government from criticism, pointing out apart from the Russian vessels, he had spotted 22 other ships from Iceland and the Faroe Islands in the same area.

Re: Crunch week???

If they have quotas allocated by the EU then there isn't much we can do.

Until January that is ....

Re: Crunch week???

Your understanding is absent. The EU allocates quota to members, which russia is not (yet). But any EU member can sell it's allocated quota to russia, like the UK obviously did. Why else can't they chase off the russians? Certainly not because they're afraid!
