Current policy on the licensing of sea-fishing boats, introduced by me on 17 November last, sets out the key requirements to be complied with in order for the two vessels concerned to be licensed for commercial sea-fishing. This matter is currently the subject of legal proceedings and it would not be appropriate to comment on it.
