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:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
