Organised on the basis of strict impartiality by the Westminster Food & Nutrition Forum, the seminar will take place on 14 September 2011 in Central London.

Timed to follow the publication of the European Commission’s draft regulatory proposals for reform of the Common Fisheries Policy, this seminar will examine the impact of the proposals in the UK and consider the future outlook for the UK’s fishing industry. Planned sessions cover the key priorities for achieving sustainable fisheries and conserving the marine environment for the future, whilst recognising the importance of the fishing industry to coastal communities. Delegates will also discuss dealing with the complexities of mixed fisheries and future options for subsidies. Keynote addresses will be delivered by John Robbs, Director Marine and Natural Environment, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and a senior representative of the Common Fisheries Policy Reform Team, Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs & Fisheries, European Commission.
