Marine Scotland will be hosting the
UK Stakeholder meeting on the afternoon of 29th October 2013 at Murrayfield
Stadium, Edinburgh. The event provides an opportunity for UK Fisheries
Ministers and senior officials to hear stakeholder views ahead of the 2013
autumn fisheries negotiations.

UK and EU competence in each policy area, with Fisheries policy being
considered this autumn, along with agriculture. To inform the review, Defra
will seek evidence from as wide a range of stakeholders as possible during a
consultation period running from October to January.
