uin	151213
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p>The UK does not have a system of auctioning for fishing quotas. UK quota is only allocated to vessels registered and licensed in the UK, but case law established the rights of those in other EU Member States to invest in, or purchase, UK licensed vessels, thereby entitling those with UK registered vessels to obtain UK quota shares.</p><p> </p><p>The economic link conditions currently associated with UK fishing licences were introduced in 1999 to make sure a genuine economic benefit is accrued to the UK from economic activities derived from UK fishing opportunities. We are reviewing the economic link condition as part of the development of our future fisheries management arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 12/06/2018 09:40:32 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
