– We are in the time with the clean-up and recovery, and so it is that there will be more corpses out of the cabinets, as we tackle, ” says Eva Kjer Hansen.
the Case is about a simple fisherman who seems wrongly to have been granted a derogation on quotas of Agricultural and Fiskeristyrelsen.
the Case was, according to Eva Kjer Hansen finalised in the autumn of 2016, but the investigation to go further back.
the fishing quotas for generationsskiftesildene in the individual case can, according to the fiskeriministeren having a value of up to approximately a million dollars, if they have been used fully.

In the first instance cases within the area in the past five to six years is turned upside down.
