mushroom 12,352 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Just been shopping and bought us a couple of sea bream for tea tonight... They had some rather skinny, sad looking cod on ice and I was curious. Where the hell has it come from A legal requirement here, is all catch tickets have to be displayed or available on request... All this cod had come through Norway From what I can gather, the EU are using Norway to get their North Sea cod quotas into the bloc, whereas before I'd hazard 70-80% was landed in Blighty and exported. First time I've seen fresh cod in about 2-3 months tbh. Anybody know if UK boats are still landing and if so where is the fish going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 12,352 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Just re-read my post I meant 70-80% of the quota would've been caught in UK waters by whichever flagged trawler. @South hams hunter these things.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That isn't the fault of Brexit as more of the EU cutting it's nose off to spite our face! UK cannot be seen as being successful post Brexit, nor will they dictators agree a trade deal. Pure spite! However the Spanish, French etc consumers still want their fresh fish and seafood. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,182 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) A little unreported gem is that the EU sent a directive to customs in Ireland to apply an extra, and more damaging rule, to road transport from the UK. They did this on completion of the trade deal. They don’t apply the same rule to sea or air freight......that is totally genuine. The head of the road transport boys told TD’s at a committee hearing the other day and even they didnt know about it. Dont know if they have done the same in the rest of the bloc but I bet it’s a safe bet that they have. Edited March 29, 2021 by WILF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,182 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 The rule they applied is on groupage (I’m sure you all know what groupage is so I won’t explain) but if one single line on one bit of paper relating to a single package is wrong, the whole truck and every other bit of freight is held or rejected. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard something about this the other day. Spanish truckers were kicking off because they were being held up on their return trips. Some had entire loads (no idea what) rejected due to paperwork. The EU is doing all it can to warn members out is not an option. Even if it means paralysing businesses and trade based in the EU. People are seeing it here mind Anyways..... my Gilthead (thanks SHH) was caught in the Med Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 19,322 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I think that the UK being the old wise man of Europe its determined not sink to the level of the petulant child of Europe the EU's level and lead by example as we always have, these acts by the EU do harm us in the short term but they are also an act of self harm, I believe over time internal pressure from within the EU will see them put there toys back in the pram and see sense, until then we just have to be the better man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
