<p>At December Fisheries Council, the UK secured a commitment to work further on emergency
measures to protect bass during the 2015 spawning season. My Department wrote to the
European Commission on 19 December 2014 asking it to consider emergency measures for
the sea bass fishery, under Article 12 of the Common Fisheries Policy Regulation.
Following further work with the UK and other interested Member States the European
Commission announced proposed measures on 19 January. These will be brought in by
the European Commission. Once the final form of the measures is determined and they
have been adopted, my Department will confirm the details.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
