MEMBERS of the Builth Wells branch of the Royal British Legion celebrated 100 years since the formation of the organisation on Saturday morning, May 15. Members gathered to lay a poppy wreath at the town’s cenotaph. They included Herbie Herbert, Tony Prynne, Martyn Hughes, Pauline and Peter Roberts, Reverend Brian Reardon, Doe Herbert and Adam Johnstone. The Royal British Legion was formed on May 15, 1921, bringing together four national organisations of ex-servicemen that had established themselves after the first World War. These included the National Association of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers, the British National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Sailors and Soldiers, the Comrades of the Great War and the Officers’ Association. The amalgamation of these organisations is attributed to field marshall Lord Haig who remained as president of the Royal British Legion until his death, and Tom Lister, of the Federation of Discharged and Demobilised

EU agriculture and fisheries ministers have begun negotiations on the fishing quotas that will govern the relations between the bloc and the UK in the coming years.
According to the free trade deal agreed on Christmas Eve, the European Union is set to give up 25% of its current fishing quotas in British waters. This transfer of rights will take place gradually over a period of five years, known as the adjustment period . Fishing access for EU fleets will decrease each year until reaching said 25% threshold in June 2026.
In the meantime, provisional catch limits will apply. The European Commission is now preparing to lead negotiations with the UK on behalf of all members states in order to decide how much fish EU fishermen will be allowed to catch.

LONDON, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) The British government on Wednesday announced the funding of up to 23 million pounds (about 31.4 million U.S. dollars) to support seafood exporters that are most adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges of adjusting to new export requirements after Brexit. This is in recognition of the unique circumstances of the fishing sector, which has had the most significant new requirements to adjust to, and for whom even a short delay can lead to goods perishing, the British Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said in a statement.
