The temporary ban on Guernsey fisherman entering EU and UK waters was lifted today.
Guernsey's fishermen were banned last month from fishing in UK and EU waters in a row over quotas.
The shock move appeared to be because fishermen do not have to abide by any quota limits in Bailiwick waters.
Jersey’s Minister for Commerce and Employment says the UK's decision to ban Bailiwick fishermen from UK and EU waters is “irrational”.
Deputy Kevin Stewart also says the statement given by The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)was “inaccurate”. He says there are no reference to fishing quotas in the Fisheries Monitoring and Analysis (FMA).
It is thought the ban is due to Guernsey's policy not to apply UK quota controls in local waters.
Although DEFRA say they have been in discussion with Guernsey about the matter since March, Deputy Stewart says the States had “absolutely no notice” that the ban would be given.
The weekend event coincides with International Pride Month and the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall riots.
The scheme has been backed by the island's Lieutenant-Governor, and is the first of its kind in the Channel Islands.
