Rural Affairs and Islands Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 1 May 2024

Finlay Carson

Right. You could use the exemptions in situations in which there is a failure of the monitoring system that is outwith the skipper’s control, and that would allow you to protect the business. For example, if that happened to someone pelagic fishing for mackerel, and they do that for only two months of the year, you could apply such an exemption to ensure that that business could continue.

Our next item of business is consideration of two negative SSIs. Do members wish to make any comments on the instruments?

As there are no comments, can I presume that everyone is content to note the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.

The federation represents some scallop fishers. Currently, some of them will voluntarily have REM on their vessels. What was the reason for their voluntarily doing that? Have they seen any benefits, or what issues have they seen?

I am aware that Rachael Hamilton and I interrupted Emma Harper’s question, so I ask Joe Whitelegg whether the Isle of Man marine compliance has any issues with the technical specification. Have you any reason to believe that the technical spec could give rise to issues?

Does the instrument on which we will have to make a decision allow for that pragmatism?
