BBC NEWS | Europe | EU fish quota deal hammered out
Talks went on late because of the large number of fisheries to discuss .
Environmental groups criticised the EU for ignoring scientists' warnings of a need for a total ban on cod fishing.
EU Fisheries Commissioner Joe Borg said the commission was trying to balance the need to rebuild depleted fish stocks with the needs of those whose livelihoods depended on fishing.
'Yet despite the difficulties I believe that the agreement reached tonight reinforces our gradual but sustained approach to delivering sustainable fisheries.' He confirmed that cod catches would be cut by 20% off the west coast of Scotland and in the Celtic Sea (to the south of Ireland), and by 15% in other areas, except the North Sea where it would be cut by 14%.
'Signs of recovery' The number of days cod fishermen spend at sea was reduced by between 7% and 10%.
The current maximum is about 15 days a month, depending on the type of fishing gear used and the exact fishing ground.
UK fishing industry in figures Reaction to EU deal .
The UK argued that the deal should take into account the 65% reduction in effort put into catching cod British fishermen had made over the past four years.
