2013 Bluefin Tuna Permit (Proposed)

[The_Gaffer]

You can fish wherever you like as long as you respect the law.  As for fishfarms, you need to be outside the cardinal bouys that mark the perimeter of the fishfarms.  The SPB ones have a rope tied around these markers, the ones down south do not.  Ensure you have a permit, as things are getting slightly hot under the collar at the moment.

Why do we have to return the Tuna license back? We all know that the quota has been reached and these papers are not going to be reused.

I do hope Fisheries have a good reason for this.  We are meeting on Wednesday, I'll ask why the permit has to be returned by hand.

I just can't understand this stupidity! Pass il-quddiem u ghaxra lura!
And.... they want it back by Friday!!! whether it's on your boat or not!
Joe..... I know you will but please try to drive some sense into them. My permit is on the boat and they expect me to go to bugibba, take the tender, uncover the boat etc.... just to get this bloody permit returned. Moreover I do not recall reading any condition stating that the document must be returned.

I sent MSG to ask regarding the return of the tuna permit.
I understand its a useless piece of paper since the license is now closed. 
I asked hon Galdes regarding this and I got a reply in about 5 minutes (well done for replying in such as short time).
The answer was that the paper is "needed for audit purpose. Can be sent by registered post".
I was not going to bother sending it at all as it does not make sense, but a friend of mine took mine along with his.
Why would a scrap piece of paper be needed for audit. When we picked it up we had to sign for it, that's what should be used for audit not this. If there are other reasons which I am missing then I cannot comment but to make a person go all the way to the fisheries just to return a piece of useless paper is uncomprehendable.

Benri - ever heard pf the expression 'flocking dead sheep' that is my take on this!
I too received a call on friday to return the permit by this Friday, knowing me, i said and what if i don't! It was as if i was talking to a recording...as the person at the other end just demanded that i need/have/must return the permit by Friday, to which I replied 'Or else?' Imma ghal xejn.  So indeed, flocking dead sheep

Gaffer How it went at the meeting ?

[The_Gaffer]

Meeting is tomorrow.  However, it is acceptable to send in your expired Permits via post.
