Qualye wants 'ghost fishing' to stop
The Chief Minister is in talks with Scotland's First Minister over disputed changes to scallop regulations.
Howard Quayle spoke to Nicola Sturgeon yesterday (Thu) after fishermen there raised concerns a new requirement to report to Manx port authorities daily was 'discriminatory'.
The Manx government says repeated reports of so-called 'ghost fishing' - where vessels falsify logs to avoid catch limits - prompted the rule change.
Mr Quayle says he wants to find a 'mutually acceptable solution', and has promised an announcement will be made in the coming days:
Air traffic services safe despite ageing radar system, says minister
'Warning shots fired by UK Ministry of Justice' says chief minister
Chair says Castletown rates rise driven "solely" by government charges
DEFA 'recognises the need to review and modernise' wildlife legislation
MHK calls for reset of 'energy balance' on Island
