IS TIME RUNNING OUT FOR Deepsea Fisheries?

At their meeting on 11 June 2002 the Council of Ministers reached a political agreement on a compromise proposal to regulate deep-sea fish stocks by establishing TAC's and quotas covering a variety of species. This controversial agreement has failed to satisfy critics who believe the problem of over exploitation and discards of these slow-maturing species will continue. Who has the answer? This topical debate may help to inform Members of the Fisheries Committee who will vote on the Holmes Report on Deep Water Species at their meeting on 11th September
