The EU's decision to slash fishing quotas by 50% has left many Scottish fishermen facing ruin. But now they're fighting back. For hundreds of years, Scottish fishermen have sailed out into the North Sea in search of cod. Communities have developed around this industry and over half the jobs in towns like Fraserburgh are directly reliant on fishing. However, fish stocks are rapidly depleting and, in an effort to conserve cod, a series of stringent measures have been introduced.

Membership included Daniel Hannan and Nigel Farage - wonder how much they managed to succeed for UK fishing ? Or did they prefer it to fail ? I see Elspeth Attwooll gets acclaim for her work on whaling in the committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament_Committee_on_Fisheries
