Question 13464 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Ms. Annaïg Le Meur draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the measures to control sea bass stocks following the lifting by the Council of the European Union of the ban on individuals taking this species north of the 48th parallel. The sea bass is in fact one of the fish species in danger of overexploitation. Also, in order to allow the stocks of bars to be replenished, the Council of the Union In 2018, the European Union imposed the practice of catch-and-release for private fishermen north of the 48th parallel. In France, this measure concerns the northern Breton coasts, the English Channel and the North Sea. South of this line, the harvest authorization remains maintained at 3 bars per day and per fisherman. This incomprehensible measure for individuals who engage in this practice was modified by an amending regulation from the council of the European Union dated September 18, 2018. Between October 1 and December 31, 2018, it is again authorized north of the 48th parallel the harvest of one bar per day for private fishermen. MEP Alain Cadec recommends, in his report on the multi-annual plan for fish stocks in western waters, the establishment of measures to control the stocks of fish species at the level of each Member State. Among the proposed measures are the creation of a sea fishing license as well as a logbook for recreational fishing. She also asks him if the Government plans to implement these control measures for recreational fishing in order to ensure more effective monitoring of stocks of fish species in French waters.
