Written Question
Nature Conservation
Monday 11th July 2016

Asked by: Madeleine Moon (Labour - Bridgend)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the effect of the vote to leave the EU on her policy on the EU nature directives; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Rory Stewart

Until we leave the EU, current arrangements for farming, fisheries, food and drink, rural affairs and our environment remain in place.

Defra will continue to ensure the right policies are in place for a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.

The priorities for negotiating our exit from the EU will be a matter for the new Prime Minister and their Cabinet.

Recreational Sea Bass Fishing

"I thank the Minister for the correction; he is absolutely right.

In December 2015, the EU Fisheries and Agricultural Council met to formulate a package of measures and regulations, but the agreement that was reached was both unfair, ineffective and, quite honestly, unbelievable. The regulation of recreational and commercial bass …..."
