AT Urges EU Commissioner To Introduce Emergency Bass Measures Now! Earlier this week the Angling Trust wrote to European Fisheries Commissioner Karmenu Vella ahead of the crucial EU Fisheries and Aquaculture Committee meeting taking place today, Friday, urging the EU to resist pressure from French and other commercial fishing interests and proceed in full with emergency measures to close targeted mid-water and pelagic trawling for bass in the English Channel, Southern North Sea and Irish and Celtic Seas. Further meetings are planned over coming weeks to address the impact of recreational fishing and other commercial fishing fleets before the full package of EU emergency measures is known. Following the outcome of the EU’s measures the Angling Trust is due to meet with officials from Defra to discuss what measures could be taken at UK level to further protect and restore British bass stocks. We expect the measures to be passed so hope to be able to pass on good news early next week. Watch this space!
