This summer #FishingforLeave were asked by France 24 to help tell Britain’s fishermen’s story.
This full film details;
- EU vessels catch 60% of Britain’s fish. 75% of quotas go directly to EU states.
- EU rules let EU ‘Flagships’ buy half Britain’s 25% share from struggling UK fishermen.
- Flagships do not use British crew & send fish directly home for no economic benefit to Britain
- EU quotas force fishermen to discard good fish dead to meet misaligned Quota targets.
- Unfair UK allocation system has driven consolidation to a few big companies.
- Loss of UK waters will be a hammer blow to EU fishing who will have to buy from Britain.
DEFRA, Michael Gove & MPs must #Chuck Chequers and Transition for a clean Brexit; repatriate all resources & control; clamp down on EU Flagships; and allocate our resources fairly to all fishermen to allow communities and family fishing to thrive again.
