QUESTION 353
Question 353 for written reply: National Council of Provinces, Mr O de Beer
(COPE-WC) to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries:
Whether community fishing quotas will be considered during the next round
of fishing rights allocations; if not, why not; if so, what are the
relevant details? CW457E
REPLY:
The Small-Scale Fisheries Policy was adopted by Cabinet in June this year,
and this makes provision for the allocation of quotas to communities rather
than individuals. Where applicable, this approach will be followed.
