Fisheries reforms: MEPs back plan to protect stocks
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20780657Euro MPs have backed fisheries reforms aimed at protecting endangered stocks and curbing the practice of throwing unwanted fish back into the sea dead.
Fish discarded at sea are reckoned to account for almost a quarter of all EU catches.
The fisheries committee vote came as EU ministers began negotiations on next year's fishing quotas.
Scottish MEP Struan Stevenson, who is on the committee, said the changes would give the regions more control.
