so that will stop vessels doing what the Cornelis Vrolkik ( spelling? ) did? I drink in pubs here in east cleveland where North East inshore fishermen go - Redcar and the like ( bleak I know ) they tell tales of how rules are flouted regularly by foreign vessels - I have friends from when I used to live down south in Weymouth and Bridport its the same crack - no help from HMG and no action from abroad - and thats when we are IN the EU !! I doubt post divorce the attitude from the EU will improve - theory is great but if they don't pay what do we do? Send the bailiffs in?
