Shellfish Businesses Will Collapse Entirely And Permanently With Post-Brexit EU Ban, Government Warned
04 February
Parts of the UK s shellfish market face being lost forever if the European Union ban on live shellfish exports from most British waters remains in place, an industry figure has warned.
Speaking to the Scottish Affairs Committee on Thursday morning, the Clyde Fisherman’s Association s Elaine Whyte said that the indefinite ban, which PoliticsHome first revealed, was a massive issue that required political intervention from the government. You could be losing live markets entirely and permanently and there s no way around that at the moment, Whyte told MPs on the committee.
