Seafish: ‘CLG Brexit Special on Friday 7 October. Seafish organised this Common Language Group (CLG) ‘special’ event to explore the potential issues and opportunities that leaving the EU could have for the seafood sector. Seafish lined up expert speakers from across the seafood supply chain to talk about key areas such as trade, regulation, marine governance, public funding and access to labour. All of the presentations have now been added to the Seafish website. The notes on the discussion will follow in due course. Tom Pickerell, Technical Director at Seafish said: “With so many unknowns at this stage, our Common Language Group special is all about knowledge-sharing and helping to inform the transition. We want to bring the seafood industry together to listen to the views of those who have been looking closely at this, to hear perspectives from different sectors of the industry and also to contribute to the discussion. “Seafish will be producing a comprehensive matrix of sectoral views to show the key outcomes hoped for in a post-Brexit seafood sector, as well as the things to avoid post-Brexit and the many unknowns. This meeting was part of that learning process.”
