The biggest shake-up in the history of the EU's fisheries policy is expected to be announced today. For the first time, the policy will be decided by MEPs directly in Strasbourg. The controversial practice of discarding unwanted fish - as well as who controls how much fish is caught - will both be voted on. It's hoped the changes will boost both fish stocks and fishermen's incomes.

Anna Hill asks why the Country Land and Business Association is urging the Government to reform the current system for compulsory purchase. The CLA claims the present arrangements will leave many of its members out of pocket.
