Written Question
Friday 13th April 2018
Asked by:
Peter Grant (Scottish National Party - Glenrothes)
Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on the UK fishing industry of remaining under EU fishing regulations during a transitional deal.
Answered by George Eustice
The government considers that the main effect on the fishing industry of being subject to the Implementation Period is that the opportunity to change our approach to managing fishing resources within our Exclusive Economic Zone is delayed until the end of 2020. During the Implementation Period the UK's current share of quotas will not change.
