@CreelScff @Bluemarinef @TheOpenSeas @guardian @ScotGovMarine @MairiGougeon @SP_RuralAffairs Very interesting to see that UK stands out across Europe in NOT subsidising fisheries! For every £1 support the UK industry receive to fish in UK waters, foreign vessels receive £5! The figures available in this weeks FN and online

@Bluemarinef @TheOpenSeas @guardian @ScotGovMarine & @MairiGougeon refusal to impliment the landing obligation in Scotland arguably incentivises & encourages the widespread illegal discarding of fish The crew apparently didn't even realise they were breaking the law! @SP_RuralAffairs should investigate this issue

1. This week’s Fishing News looks at the unfair playing field UK fishermen have in UK waters- for every £1 of support received, foreign vessels fishing in the same grounds receive £5! @YourFishingNews #leveltheplayingfield fishingnews.co.uk/news/uk-fisher…

@YourFishingNews That's on me! Apologies. Combining emails, messages, phone calls, tweets, none of which had the whole story. Glad we got the main thing right, the fishermen's views expressed to the Cab. Sec. We are only as good as our readers- please do let us know when we get things wrong.
