Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate her Department has made of what the total catch of seabass by countries in the EU Common Fisheries Policy will be in 2017.
An estimate of the total bass catch for 2017 at EU level as a result of the management measures agreed for this year can only be made by the European Commission, as it holds the relevant catch and by-catch data at Member State level.
