MINISTER BACKS FISHERMEN OVER EU SCHEME
Fishermen have won the support of
Fisheries Minister Tony Baldry in their
fight against new EU proposals.
Trawlermen met Mr Baldry at Brixham in
Devon to discuss plans to force any
fishing vessel using an area called the
Irish Box to make radio contact with
the Ministry of Agriculture.
Mr Baldry agreed the scheme would be
costly and bureaucratic and said he
would fight it at an EU Council of
Ministers' meeting next month.
But he warned that the UK would not
pull out of the Common Fisheries Policy
