Consultations with Norway on exchanges of fishing opportunities with the UK in 2025, including quotas and access, concluded with the signing of an Agreed Record on 17 December.<\/h4>\n

The agreement includes reciprocal access for demersal stocks such as haddock, cod and plaice, which will allow Scottish fishers to catch up to 30,000 tonnes of their existing North Sea quotas in Norwegian waters. Access has also been agreed for North Sea herring in UK waters, and Atlanto-Scandian herring in Norwegian waters, up to a cap of 20,000 tonnes. Exchanges of quotas have also been agreed for 2025.<\/p>\n

The arrangements for 2025 mirror those from last year, where the whitefish agreement of 30,000 tonnes gave over \u00a317m worth of access opportunities to UK vessels in Norwegian waters.<\/p>\n

Discussions with the Faroe Islands on further exchanges of opportunities are ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
