Langoustine processors have voiced alarm at the crisis facing the sector in 2012 if the European Commission proceeds with its proposed severe cuts in the numbers of days at sea that fishing vessels are allocated.

Leading scampi processors mainly from Scotland but also northern England attended a meeting in the week of Nov.
