The Scottish government has said that at today’s EU Council meeting “the fight to protect the future of Scotland’s fishing industry reaches boiling point”.
“Our fishermen and our fishing communities are counting on the next CFP to show common sense. They are counting on the Council to acknowledge the great work that is taking place to conserve fish stocks and increase sustainability. And they are counting on the support of the whole of Scotland as we continue to fight to protect their livelihoods and their communities.”
