Responses published from Consultation to simplify fishing vessel licensing in England – March 2015

The UK Government recently held a consultation for 6 weeks between 15^th October and 26^th November 2014, reviewing the licensing regime in England to identify potential burdens on both industry and the government. Collectively the Marine Management Organisation and industry representatives generated a series of proposals and amendments to simplify the licensing procedure and reduce unnecessary burdens on industry and Government. In March 2015, a summary document was published outlining the consultation’s responses. For more information about the consultation and summary of responses follow the link here.
