  "text": "Following the Government decision to introduce fixed dates for changes in laws and regulations there are now four possible dates a year for ministerial regulations to take effect, while regulations must be published at least two months in advance. As the shrimp sector would benefit greatly from an early entry into effect of the regulation, it was decided to derogate from these dates.\nThe areas need to be closed soon with a view to the study into the effects of shrimp fishing. The study must begin in the summer of 2012 as the results of the first year of study are deemed necessary for the licence application as from 2014.",
