Brussels demand Keir Starmer surrenders UK fishing rights for EU deal

December 14, 2024 International, International News

Brussels will demand Labour surrender fishing rights and follow EU laws for the first time since Brexit, it was reported last night. European leaders are said to want to make a new trade deal with Sir Keir Starmer dependent on Britain accepting European Court of Justice jurisdiction. It would be the first time since Brexit in January 2020 that the UK has had to follow EU law as part of its trading relationship with the bloc. It makes clear Brussels will demand key concessions on fishing, the European Court of Justice and youth mobility. Current fishing arrangements are seen by the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations as a ‘neo-colonial relationship with the EU’ as the UK has given up post-Brexit control of fishery resources. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 06:39

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
