i think we should start a petition!! what is needed?? any one has a good idea how to do one??

[Arti2]

I agree if we make a kind of petition and send it to the minister. The license review is only applied to small boats! People who have big boats do not pay the exegerated way we are going to pay. A guy owning a big boat is sure to have big money but ones like us who have small boats like mine 14.5 ft are not contributing not even the same way!

To do a petition one have to give the description of the subject concerned and then gather as much signs as possible together with their I.D. card number and addresses and then send the gathered info to the ministry department concerned .That's my idea of a petition.

I am still confused about the issue. Wheras for boats with a 9.9 hp engine or less, table 3.1 in the budget report gives 120 euros as annual registration licence (see the 1st post in this topic) a table published in today's issue of l-orrizont gives 120 euros as the registration fee for 5 years.

This is still a huge increase from 35 ewro or so but paying 120 euros every 5 years would be much better than paying them every year. Which is the correct version?

[Arti2]

At present you pay every five years for a boat not exceeding 3.6m in lenght and not exceedin 10 H.P. but I don't know nothing about the new fees. I have just sent an e-mail to MMA.

The address for the present fees is this:

igifiri jien ta frejgatina ta linjam 13'.. bmagna inbord 10hp....  F'Jannar li gej irid itih 600 e??al hames snin . dan ok jew?

[lazyfisherman]

Perla 165 that is what it looks like - 600 euros for 5 years - if you want a reduction throw away your inboard and convert it to a rowing boat. That will work out at just 450 euros for 5 years instead of 600 (Yes, according to the budget report a rowing boat longer than 12 feet is 90 euros per year). Tiffranka xi haga! This is just madness!

hey guys i hear MartinB is giving lessons in beach casting and spinning for those thinking of selling or getting rid of the boat because of these exuberant prices. Yep when u become a member of parliament ur only concern is going abroad on ppls money and not in simple hobbies like fishing?!?And these ppl know that circulation of money is the healthiest for the economy and yet they do their best so that ppl dont spend...We spend money on equipment, lures, bait, maintenance of boat and diesel or petrol (Which isnt cheap). So i presume they want these tackle shops and all those who sell marine products to close...WHY?...how can that help the economy?
I was right about the Octopus eh?

[busumark]

i phoned today maritime authority to ask for new license fees. she told that officialy for now they dont have the new fees. she told me to phone again at the end of the week. on the times of last saturday in an article there was written that the fees that are in the begining of this post are annually. and those yachts that are under 24m pay 200 euros and over 24m 580 euros. if you have a boat over 3.6m without engine you pay half the price of a 24m yacht that maybe has twin 500 hp engines

[fishfinder]

they told me the same when I've called and now I've just remembered that I have a small boat in the garage with the registration number and I have to pay ?90 too.

so now I have to pay ?190 for the Kaptan and ?90 for this piece of boat.
