Eu Court Compensation Ruling And The Common Fisheries Policy

EDM number 570 in 1995-96, proposed by Christopher Gill on 05/03/1996.

That this House deplores the decision of the European Court which overrules, with retrospective effect and at great cost to the taxpayer, the Government's legislation introduced to prevent British fish quotas being caught by Spanish and other foreign owners of British registered vessels; and believes that this judgement confirms the need for the United Kingdom to give notice at the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference of its intention to withdraw from the Common Fisheries Policy and of its determination to re-establish the supremacy of British law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
