§ 14. Mr. SpringTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps the Government have taken to promote technical conservation measures. [13118]
§ Mr. BaldryI have brought together in the fisheries conservation group practical fishermen, fisheries scientists and fisheries managers. They have reviewed the current technical conservation measures and continue to provide invaluable advice on the European Commission's current proposal for new EU-wide technical measures. I am promoting these practical ideas in the current negotiations in Brussels.
