The north Atlantic, and in particular the waters around Norway and Greenland, has a plentiful stock of cod and haddock for the UK’s fish & chip shops.
-
The UK imports most of the fish it eats and exports most of what it catches;
-
Cod and haddock are UK consumers' favourite fish;
-
These fish are found in large quantities in the distant waters north of the UK;
-
To provide British fish for our fish & chip shops, the UK’s trawler Kirkella needs access to quotas from Norway, Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and NAFO (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization);
-
If these quotas are unavailable, the UK will have to import even more of its cod and haddock from Norway and elsewhere.
