Comment posted EC to use emergency powers to reduce volume of west coast haddock discards by phill.
Just seems so wrong to dump good food over the side, with so many hungry worldwide. Hope this measure helps.

Duncan would be perfectly capable of giving a period of stability. Experienced, and a match for anyone. Done lots of good over many years in the community and in the Council. - Update on SNP meeting
But now that the’re icompetent beyoond belief?? - Update on SNP meeting
Why on earth would anyone other than SNP diehards vote for Cllr Taylor, when the man for the job is Cllr Walsh. Streets ahead and streetwise. The snp blew it big style. Their time will come again but definately not right now. They done like each other, so how can they pull on behalf of constituents. - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
Dick Walsh is nothing if not astute. Things will be more honest and upfront which is a sad indicment on the SNP who bottled it big time.
The Alliance of Independence at least faced the financial crisis face on and to be honest somewhere along the line there are going to be hard pills to swallow.
At least we will be told straight and no messing.

Yes, a little bit of common sense at last. But only a little. While ever we are subject to the whims of the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, many of whom brought up miles from any sea, there will be idiotic ‘laws’ like these.
Heaven help us if we become ‘independent’ of the UK, only to fall into the clutches of Brussels. I can predict we will have far less ‘self determination’ than we ever have at the moment, for the stupidity of the fishing quotas runs through all the legislation of the EC, and their bureaucratic power is far greater than any at Westminster.

Tony, Scotland’s fishing indutry is far greater than England’s but our “say” in Brussels is a wee man from Westminster. Once you have read the history of the whole sorry affair you may want to withdraw the last paragraph.
We need an independent “say” in our fish and loads of other things, BRING IT ON.

I tend to agree that the ‘wee man from Westminster’ probably didn’t listen hard enough to our man and didn’t shout loud enough in Brussels. And yes, we should have more ‘say’ in many things.
I’m just concerned that we may swap from one ‘master’ that we know well and to a certain extent is accountable, to one much larger, more powerful, with less accountability, where our ‘say’, if it is heard at all, will be completely ignored.
On the other hand, maybe I’m just getting too old for change.
