Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) when he expects to allocate the sectoral quota management arrangements to the Northern Ireland Fish Producers Organisation;
(2) when he expects to make available the final sectoral quota figures for fisheries management arrangements; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryFollowing consultation with the industry, Fisheries Departments have agreed to the introduction of446W sectoral quota management arrangements in the cod, plaice, sole and whiting fisheries in the Irish sea for 1990. Departments will shortly be writing to producer organisations asking them to supply the information necessary to begin the calculations which are likely to be complicated. We would aim to produce provisional allocation figures in May and final figures in June.
