A PAPER on fishing quotas ‘New Individual Transfer Quota (ITQ) Rights: Additional Policy Clarifications’ was discussed at the most recent meeting of the Falkland Islands Government’s Executive Council.
Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Hansen said: “The report covered additional detailed policy issues to enable the Falkland Islands Government to take forward the drafting of the revised 2005 Ordinance.”
He explained that the policy framework for issuing new ITQ rights for a new 25 year period, based on recommendations set out in the commissioned 2018 report from consultants Terra Moana, was agreed by Executive Council in December 2020.
