Information requested
Fishing VMS data for all of the ICES rectangles in Scotland for the period of Jan 2022 – Dec 2022 (inclusive).
Please could speed and nationality information be included as a minimum. Any other vessel information you could provide would be much appreciated.”
Response
I attach a copy of most of the information you requested.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exception under regulation 11(2) of the EIRs applies to that information. The reason why that exception applies is explained in the Annex to this letter.
Due to the size of the files we are unable to upload the documents referred to above. If you wish to consider, please contact us at the address below and we will be happy to provide.
