UKIP’s new election poster unveiled in Grimsby today highlights the plight of fishing businesses that have been ‘gutted due to the EU’. Greenpeace has responded that UKIP’s voting record in the European Parliament and Nigel Farage’s appalling attendance on the Fisheries Committee makes a mockery of UKIP’s claim to be standing up for fishermen.
Over the three years that Nigel Farage was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended one out of 42 meetings. Greenpeace research released today shows that during the three major votes to fix the flaws of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), Nigel Farage was in the building but failed to vote in favour of improving the legislation. In 2013, Nigel Farage was again present but chose not to vote on the part of the reform of the CFP that introduces an obligation on governments to give more fishing quota to sustainable fishermen who contribute the most to the local, coastal economies. This would see the government giving more fishing quota to local, low impact fishing fleets, such as the fishermen featured in UKIP’s poster. Greenpeace is currently undertaking a two month, pre-election tour of English and Welsh coastal marginal constituencies asking MPs and parliamentary candidates to pledge to become coastal champions if they win the next election. At the event in Ramsgate in the constituency of Thanet South, all the parliamentary candidates except Nigel Farage attended and pledged that if they won the next election they would work their hardest to get more fishing quota for the many angry fishermen who were at the event |

Nigel Farage has the lowest voting attendance record of any active MEP in the European Parliament.
But exclusive analysis of the MEP voting records shows that Mr Farage only turned up to 40.7 per cent of all possible roll-call votes between July 2014 and May 2016. This places him 745th out of 746 MEPs from across the different EU countries on the register. |

He has made his point abundantly clear and will have achieved far more for the fishing industry than any amount of coastal champions might ever do with Greenpeace.

So name his achievements for the U.K fishing industry?.

Nigel Farage’s claim that leaving the EU would be good news for UK fishing is wrong. Fish don’t respect country boarders, so shared management of them is essential," said Griffin Carpenter, economic modeller with NEF.
“The evidence is overwhelmingly clear that the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy is working. While fish stocks were declining before EU management, many fish stocks are now growing, meaning more fish, more profits and more employment opportunities for our fishing industry," said Carpenter. “Fishing for Leave argues that we’d be better off leaving the EU and negotiating from the outside, but time and time again we’ve seen negotiations with non-member states like Iceland and Norway break down and lead to unsustainable quotas or no quotas at all. We can and have changed policies from inside the EU.” |

Brexit is a concept with no defined meaning for fisheries.
There are at least 2 years of negotiations which may or may not help our fishing industry. Nigel may or may not have helped with yesterdays rant. |

By:
Breedingmad - so what you are saying is that if we get full control of our fishing rights (which I expect) then we will massively overfish and wreck the stocks again?
I've got another suggestion - why don't we talk to our EU neighbours and agree a sensible approach to fishing? Maybe something just like we have now - or is that too hard? |

By:
The point is we will now get less fishing rights

That is news to me - do you have anything I could read on the subject?

UK fisheries chiefs warn catches will not increase with Brexit
British fishermen have been warned that, despite the promises made by the leave campaign, they cannot expect to be granted greater catches after the UK leaves the European Union, and they may face increased economic turmoil, reports The Guardian. Fishermen will have to remain within their current catch quotas while the UK is still a member, and even if new arrangements are negotiated after a Brexit, they will not necessarily be more generous, fisheries chiefs and campaigners have warned. British fishing fleets will still be bound by international agreements on fish stocks that must now be worked out, and which may not be to their benefit. “Unfortunately, perhaps, the UK’s geopolitical position means that it is not politically or legally possible just to ringfence most of our fish resources, in the way that, for example, Iceland can. The reality is that most of our stocks are shared with other countries to some degree or other,” said the National Federation of Fishermen’s Organisations. The UK can seek to renegotiate quota shares, as well as access arrangements, but it is realistic to expect that there will be a price, it added. This price could, in theory, be subsidized by the government, or it could be borne by consumers, though this would depend on the price of fish to be imported, if UK fisheries are to remain competitive. A spokesman for the European commission told the Guardian: “It is far too early to speculate on this question [of what will happen to fisheries]. That will be addressed in due course, once negotiations with the UK begin on its withdrawal agreement as well as on the agreement concerning its future relationship with the EU. For the time being, nothing changes.” |

Once you identify the source of your input I begin to lose all ocnfidence in your assertions. The Guardian would happily conspire with the EU to deny us fresh air if it was feasible. |
