Fisheries (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

A further worry arises now in the context of the Prestige which has gone down off the coast of Spain. Television reports have informed us that fish stocks and the shellfish industry will be decimated in the area. In that context I am sure that in December the Spanish will make impassioned pleas, not alone to retain their quotas but to extend them. That means we will have an extra difficult fight on our hands. I wish the Minister well, as always, when he goes into these talks.
