Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Extension of EU-UK Trade Agreement and Implications for the Irish Fishing and Seafood Industry: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brendan Byrne:

The thrust of the charge we make is that Norway, Iceland and the Faroes have unilaterally set quotas for themselves that go beyond the scientific advice and beyond their legal entitlement as per the previous coastal states sharing arrangement. They have set unilateral quotas that are not based on the science or on their entitlement but rather just based on what they think they want.
