The UK continues to hold firm over its ban on the fishing of sand eels, which are one of the main food sources for endangered puffins
The Prime Minister said the Government would be “keeping to our commitments” after the EU announced it would take the UK to courtThe EU on Friday said it would request effective court judgment on the ban after loud complaints from the French and Danish fishing industries, which previously caught hundreds of thousands of tonnes of the fish in UK waters every year.
The request came after the previous Tory government repeatedly rebuffed EU calls for the ban to be lifted and after subsequent consultations between the two sides since Labour came to power in the election failed to find a mutually agreeable solution. The Commission said: “When it comes to managing shared resources, all decisions taken by the EU or the UK must be non-discriminatory, proportionate to the objectives and based on the best available scientific evidence.
