It is in all our interests to ensure that the maximum sustainable yield is maintained and sustained. There is a link to total allowable catch. We have to find a way to bring these together to ensure the stocks survive.

Ms Gomes referred to restoring 43 over-fished European stocks. She stated that 3.5 million tonnes of additional fish could be landed each year as a consequence, that an additional £2.7 billion in revenues each year could be generated and that 100,000 jobs could be created, with 31% more in the EU fishing sector. Could Ms Gomes send us on a list of the 43 over-fished European stocks, as well as some detail on the areas she was referring to and the areas that could benefit as a consequence of restoration?
