Will the Secretary of State meet the fishermen this Friday? – Economy

“Mr. Secretary of State, stop, we exist! Yannick Calvez, president of the Finistère departmental fisheries committee still cannot believe it. “I do not understand that the Secretary of State for the Sea comes to Quimper without discussing with the world of fishing”, is surprised the head of a professional organization which is on the front line of the fishing trip plan (PAI ) since several weeks. In the maritime district of Guilvinec, “weighing 25% of French fishing”, between 20 and 27 boats, in particular semi-offshore fishing boats, could be sent for scrapping. “We are still waiting for the answers for a small bundle of days now”.

So, of course, to know that the Secretary of State, Hervé Berville, is coming to the sector this Friday to talk about plastic ball pollution or the pension reform… “Initially, I thought it was a provocation. We will see tomorrow, ”adds Yannick Calvez, claiming to have sent the message to the prefecture which was obviously working on the (re) precise definition of the official program, Thursday evening. “I do not understand that Mr. Berville passes, so to speak, in front of the departmental committee without stopping. We are not hostile. We want to talk and we want answers.” In addition to the PAI, the profession would also like to express its difficulties with the “dolphin plan” and the rise in the price of diesel.

Proof that it is very badly to know the links of the territory with the world of fishing, including on the symbolic level, to imagine coming to this territory without addressing him: gathered, Thursday evening, in community office, the twelve mayors of the community of communes of Pays bigouden sud have unanimously decided to boycott the ministerial meeting on plastic balls scheduled for Tréguennec. Here the baptisms of fire often have the taste of salt.
