Fisheries: Quotas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what the (a) UK's initial demand for total allowable catch and (b) agreed outcome was for quotas for each species in its negotiations with the EU on fish quotas in each year since 2021.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
Due to the nature of the negotiations, it is not appropriate to publicly disclose negotiating documents detailing the UK’s opening positions.
The Written Records detailing the outcome of the UK’s annual fisheries negotiations with the EU are published on GOV.UK.
Furthermore, Defra has published reports on the ‘economic outcome of negotiations for UK fishing opportunities’ on GOV.UK since 2021. These include annexes with the UK quota for each stock.
