    EUSSR news: Fishing: New EU rules could have 'grave' impact on UK industry

    New EU rules on fishing quotas could have a "grave" impact on the UK's fishing industry, a House of Lords committee has said - just a day before the new policy is introduced.

    Under previous rules, crews often discarded, into the sea, fish that took them over their quota for that species.

    But under the new policy, fishers must bring the full haul back to shore. This change is to stop fish being wasted.

    The legislation has been called "badly designed" by UK industry bodies.

    The House of Lords EU Energy and Environment sub-committee heard evidence that the legislation could mean fishermen hitting their annual quotas much earlier in the year and have to stop fishing.

    Given the shower in parliament who "run" the UK I can't help thinking that the UK would be better off ruled from Berlin.

      Bearing in mind British fishermen want to fish the Ocean empty, and then complain next year when there's no fish, it sounds like a good thing. Catch your quota early, get a different job for the rest of the year. Earn more money. It cod be great.

      I expect in a post Brexit Britain, we'll just have British quotas, and a lot of British fishermen will moan about that and will moan about being unable to fish in the EU anymore.

          They could become project manager contractors.

              I think Brexit has enough project manager contractors already.

                  But if we leave the EU we kind of do what we want...

                  What are they going to do send the EU navy against us.

                    You are going to be so disappointed when Brexit finally happens.
