Dutch government makes additional €0.5m available for fishery certification
he Dutch parliament voted to amend the government’s 2010 budget to make an additional 500,000 euros available for fishery assessment and certification. The decision means that The Netherlands have now allocated a total of €1.5m towards fishery certification. In 2008, the Dutch demersal fleet committed itself to MSC certification as part of a Memorandum of Understanding with WWF, North Sea Foundation and the Fisheries Minister. The additional funding will be made available through the European Fisheries Fund budget.
The budget amendment follows a proposal from a coalition of MPs representing all three of the parties that form the Dutch coalition government: Ad Koppejan MP (Christian Democratic Appeal), Lutz Jacobi MP (Dutch Labour party) and Ernst Cramer MP (Christian Union).
