This will allow fishermen to progressively benefit more from higher catches for these stocks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vella\u00a0added that fishing limits for\u00a0certain stocks, including\u00a0anglerfish and horse mackerel in the Iberian Sea and Norway lobster in the North Sea, have already led\u00a0to an increase in numbers.<\/p>\n<p>In October, the Commission published a proposal on the fishing quotas\u00a0for certain stocks based on\u00a0scientific advice. The ministers did not follow this advice for all stocks, but Vella said that where the suggestions are\u00a0not followed, \u201cmember states should take the necessary actions to avoid a real disaster from happening later\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring\u00a0scientific advice was a concern for some\u00a0NGOs. Uta Bellion, director of the EU marine programme of The Pew Charitable Trust, said that it could\u00a0put\u00a0\u201cfishing stocks at risk\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cThe policy does allow for delays beyond 2015, but only if there is evidence that sticking to the deadline would seriously jeopardise the social and economic sustainability of the fishing fleets involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lasse Gustavsson, Europe director of Oceana, said that the agreement is \u201ca step backwards for EU fisheries management\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The quotas agreed\u00a0yesterday will apply from 1 January.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the discussion centred on how to deal with a ban on discarding unwanted fish back into the sea.<\/p>\n<p>This will come into force in January for species such as herring and mackerel, and a year later for cod and haddock.\u00a0Fishing boats will be obliged to land unwanted species caught in their nets.<\/p>\n<p>Vella welcomed a deal\u00a0to make \u201cspecific commitments to decrease the pressure on stocks that are in a critical state\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<footer class=\"content-credits\">\n<h6>Authors:<\/h6>\n<dl class=\"vcard\">\n<dt class=\"credits-author\"><span class=\"vcard\">Cynthia Kroet<\/span>&nbsp;<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deal reached on 2015 fishing quotas EU rules on allowed catch for certain stocks in EU and non-EU waters will apply from 1 January.
