Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 14 June 2016.
Zac Goldsmith
Conservative, Richmond Park
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she plans to support fishing any stocks at a higher level than the maximum sustainable yield level in the forthcoming negotiations on the multi-annual plan to manage North Sea fish stocks.
George Eustice
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The objective of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy is that all stocks will be fished at or below their respective Maximum Sustainable Yield by 2020. We expect to see proposals for a North Sea multi-annual plan soon which will provide the regulatory framework for the management of multi-species fisheries in the North Sea.
