Applications for industrial quotas allocation can be submitted to the Fishery Committee of Murmansk regional administration until September, 15.

Although the deadline was initially set to September 1, 2002, it was later decided to extend the application period for 2 more weeks. With 80 local fishing and fish-processing companies having already submitted their applications, this figure is yet expected to grow.

Those applicants for fish quotas, who have not submitted the papers so far, are requested to do so as soon as possible in order to accelerate the allocation process.
