answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2016 answer text <p>The UK’s top priority for the bass negotiations at December Council was to agree measures to allow us to achieve sustainable fishing at EU level by 2018, and the package agreed puts us on the right path to do so.</p><br /><p>The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea’s advice for bass in 2016 reflected its standard advice format for achieving the sustainable fishing standard the following year. The target year of 2018 agreed at the December Council for bass, however reflected the fact that the management of this stock through EU measures only began in 2015, which meant that it was necessary to take a more incremental approach, to reach sustainability in the fewest years realistically achievable.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 11/01/2016 16:39:56 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
