Update I have seen today from George Eustice MP that may be of interest to members
 

We have secured the breakthrough we wanted to protect Bass stocks as the EU Commission confirms plans to ban the commercial targeting of Bass during the spawning season. At December fisheries council I managed to get a joint statement to consider emergency measures to protect Bass between January-April on spawning grounds (many of which are off the Cornish coast). These fish have been targeted by French pair trawlers before they can even reproduce. Defra negotiators worked overtime throughout Christmas and New Year to move the commitment forward leading to todays breakthrough. Great news for Cornish Bass.
