Call for more quota sanctions on Iceland
IAN Gatt, the chief executive of the Scottish Pelagic Fishermen's Association, yesterday told the Fisheries Committee of the European Parliament in Brussels that further sanctions must be imposed on Iceland over the Nordic nation's continued refusal to enter into an international agreement on the division of mackerel quotas for 2011.
Mr Gatt told MEPs, in a presentation to the committee on behalf of European fishing representative body Europeche, that Iceland's significant unilateral quota for mackerel was threatening the sustainability of the stock and undermining the future livelihoods of European fishing communities.
