HC Deb 17 February 1986 vol 92 cc1-2W
Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if all EEC countries are implementing log book and loading declaration rules as required by existing common fisheries policy regulations.

Mr. Gummer

All member states other than Spain and Portugal are implementing the requirements of Community regulations on logbooks and landing declarations. Spain and Portugal will, like the other members states were, be given three months to implement the arrangements after the issue of the logbooks in their own languages. We understand that the logbooks are now available and are about to be issued.
