Report on quota concentration in the Danish fishing industry

16-08-2017

Report no. 22/2016

The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Environment and Food has supported the parliament’s intention concerning concentration of quotas. The report answers the following questions: 

  • Has the Ministry of Environment and Food provided rules that support the parliament’s intention not to excessively concentrate quota ownership?
  • Has the Ministry of Environment and Food established a system that ensures satisfactory management of quota ownership? 

Rigsrevisionen criticizes strongly the Ministry of Environment and Food’s management of quota ownership, which has not supported the Danish parliament’s intentions concerning excessive concentration of quota ownership. 

Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in May 2016.
