SIC Scottish Fish Farms Annual Production Survey – On 16 October 2013, Protect Wild Scotland (PWS) asked the Scottish Ministers (the Ministers) for the information from the Scottish Fish Farms Annual Production Survey 2012 questionnaire returns. The Ministers withheld the information under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004, as they considered disclosure would substantially prejudice the interests of the providers of the information (who were not obliged to provide it and who did not consent to disclosure). Following a review, PWS remained dissatisfied and applied to the Commissioner for a decision.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Ministers had dealt with PWS’s request for information in accordance with the EIRs.
