The Faroe Islands, European Union, Iceland, Norway and the Russian Federation gathered to discuss the interim allocation for the fisheries in 2014.<\/p>\n

They failed to agree on the allocation key of the stock for 2014, despite the “increasing urgency” of the situation which is ongoing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opening the negotiations, Herluf Sigvaldsson, Faroese chief negotiator, said: \u201cIt is indeed deeply concerning that there is no joint agreement in place on the allocation key.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as this, the most recent advice from ICES on the Atlanto-Scandian herring which alerts up to the negative trend in the stock makes the need for an agreement on the allocation key crucial,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The parties did agree to set up a joint scientific working group, as proposed by the Faroe Islands, to collect information on the distribution and abundance of the herring from 1995 to 2013.<\/p>\n

It was also agreed to limit the total allowable catch of Atlanto-Scandian herring for 2014 to 418,487 tonnes, as advised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.<\/p>\n

The results from the joint scientific working group are to form the foundation for the 2015 management arrangement of Atlanto-Scandian herring.<\/p>\n

Negotiations will continue on 10 December 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
