HC Deb 03 February 1983 vol 36 c156W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how Community fishing rules are to be enforced in areas outside the United Kingdom's direct jurisdiction; what direct involvement the Government will have in these controls; and how he intends to satisfy himself that such controls are being carried through effectively.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

It is the responsibility of individual member states to enforce Community fishing rules in waters under their jurisdiction. The European Community Commission's inspectorates of inspectorate is to ensure efficient and consistent enforcement.
