answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>The catch recording system is currently in its roll out phase. As the system enters full usage and fishers get used to the system, the data gathered from it will be used to cross check data from sales notes. For at least the current quota management year catch records will be used to supplement but not replace sales note data in tracking uptake and setting limits.</p><p> </p><p>As the catch records capture a complete record of landings, any species or landing undeclared on a sales note will be taken from the catch record. Where sales notes and catch records both capture a species and/or a landing but differ in the recorded quantity then the Marine Management Organisation will give due consideration to the reason for the difference when making a decision on which value to use.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 03/02/2020 09:57:34 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 answer text <p>Cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV), which is sometimes referred to as Alabama Rot, first emerged in the UK in 2012. The Animal and Plant Health Agency has been in touch from the start with the private veterinary group investigating the syndrome. While CRGV remains rare in the UK, we are now working with this vet group to commission research to improve our understanding.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, for what reasons under 10m fishing vessels in England are being required, under new licence conditions, to report all fish caught and landed when there are de minimis exemptions for over 10m vessels.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2020 answer text <p>For paper and electronic recording for vessels over 10m in length, there is an exemption on recording fish under 50kg in the log book. However, this information is supplemented by an additional requirement for a landing declaration which provides accurate weights of all fish caught. A similar exemption was considered for under 10m vessels, however, given some stocks catch limits are very small, applying a de-minimis exemption would not be appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 13/01/2020 15:59:55 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much her Department has spent on the implementation of the new catch recording app for fishing vessels under 10 metres in length; and how future revisions and updates to that app will be funded.

uin	238
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>As the Catch Recording App is downloaded to a mobile device, implementation costs are considered to be negligible. The development and build costs associated with the app as of 31 October were £1.8 million. The European Maritime Fisheries Fund (EMFF) can be accessed to fund projects to support the ‘regulator’ and the ‘regulated’ to improve compliance with the Common Fisheries Policy Control Regulations. The app is substantively (90%, £1.6 million) funded by the EMFF, matched with Government funds (10%, £0.2 million). Any future revisions or updates to the app will also be funded from EMFF up to 31 December 2020, when this funding scheme ends.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 07/01/2020 13:07:32 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>Although fisheries control and enforcement is a devolved matter, we are working closely with the Devolved Administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure a coordinated approach to fisheries control and enforcement across UK waters.</p><p> </p><p>In England, the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has assessed the risk of increased illegal fishing when the UK leaves the EU, including under the scenario of doing so without a deal, and strengthened our resources accordingly.
