something to think about for any body who goes angling in the sea .
This is part of a ad campaign been run by the UKIP ,
I am sure you have seen the launch of our Campaign to have Article 47 of the European Union's Common fisheries Policy s
ped on our website today under the banner: 'Save Our Sport - S Article 47 Now!'
Article 47 requires sport anglers to declare their catch so it can be included in the national fish quota. This is ludicrous. It will:
1. Place further pressure on the already beleaguered commercial fishing industry.
2. Make a criminal of every sea angler who fails to declare their catch. For failing to declare a mackerel caught off Brighton Pier, a child could face a fine from the EU of up to £50,000. That is just not acceptable.
Brussels hopes to ram Article 47 through by April and avoid any debate or opposition.
Why should Brussels bureaucrats ruin a sport loved by millions of people all over Britain and tighten the screw even more on our commercial fishermen?
That is why we have launched our SOS Campaign.
On our website www.ukip.org we have a petition for people to add their names plus there is also a poster which can be downloaded from the website which we encourage people to display in their home, local fishing tackle shop...just wherever they can!
It's time for UKIP to stand up and fight for our fishermen
