answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2021 answer text <p>Now that the transition period has ended, we are reviewing our policy on access for supertrawlers. This review will be driven by evidence. Under the Fisheries Act we have the powers to choose which vessels we license but our measures must comply with the UK/EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement which prohibits discrimination against individual vessels. Supertrawlers are mostly pelagic, operating mid-water, and do not make contact with the seabed.</p><p> </p><p>Vessels permitted to fish in UK waters will have to be licensed and comply with UK rules and regulations including those on sustainability. Licence conditions set by UK Sea Fisheries Authorities will apply to both UK and foreign vessels alike.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 15/01/2021 16:03:48 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
