§ Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has made to the European Commission and to other fishing nations requesting that other European fishing efforts in British waters be limited to an extent equal to that resulting from the days at sea limitations to be imposed on British fishermen.
§ Mr. CurryThe multi-annual guidance programmes which were agreed in December require all member states to take steps to reduce their fishing effort, but it is for individual member states to determine the balance between measures to reduce capacity and measures to reduce time at sea.
