"Question No 51 by Josu Ortuondo Larrea (): The rules on trawling for hake in the Bay of Biscay allow a minimum mesh size of 70 mm. Given the state of the stock and with a view to improving the pattern of production, it is proposed that the mesh size be increased to 100 mm. This would cut the amount of fish landed by the fleet by 50% for the same level of effort, and would increase the vessels' operating costs owing to the greater effort needed for the same level of catches and the cost of new nets. Has the Commission quantified the hypothetical gains in production in the long term? Has it taken account of the phenomenon of post-escape mortality which is common for other species of gadidae and also affects hake? Has it taken into account that increasing mesh size entails a greater degree of effort to land the same level of catches, giving rise to a parallel increase in post-escape mortality and in the operating costs of the fleet? Has it considered the likely cost of the new nets and what measures might be put in place to aid the fleet's transition to new mesh sizes? Would it not be more appropriate to start by guaranteeing strict compliance with the current rules before making any changes to the rules on technical measures?"@en1
