EC reply on management measures for the Nephrops stock in the Porcupine Bank (FU16) for 2017

EC reply on the NWWAC email (sent on 26th October) about the advice on management measures for the Nephrops stock in the Porcupine Bank (FU16) for 2017, which was submitted to the Commission by the NWWAC on the 30th November 2016.

In the first response to the NWWAC on 3rd March 2017, the Commission referred to comments made by STECF in 2013 and the fact that STECF were not able to reach conclusion on the proposals submitted by the NWWAC.

In the interim, the NWWAC has discussed the matter at working group level and has received Executive Committee approval to seek scientific input from the Marine Institute (IE) on the matter.

As the NWWAC has yet to receive this input and given the additional data available to STECF, the NWWAC requests that the Commission ask STECF to fully evaluate the NWWAC advice of 30th November 2016 during its plenary meeting in November (6th to 10th November 2017).
