For Brexit and Beyond 16. Fisheries UKIP wants total withdrawal from the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy without the need for a transition period when we leave the EU. • Post-Brexit, UKIP will take control of the UK’s full 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), as is our entitlement under international law, allowing us to rebuild our fishing industry, its ancillary industries, and our coastal towns. • UKIP wants a complete overhaul of our fisheries systems for a fairer allocation of post-Brexit fishing opportunities, with priority given to the low-impact, small-scale fishers. • UKIP will end the discard system, with no fish going to waste. • UKIP wants investment in British ports and fishing infrastructure, and to amend the Maritime Shipping Act with a view to ending the exploitation of UK fishing waters by foreign vessels. These changes will provide opportunities for British business and career opportunities for British citizens. 22
17. Economy For Brexit and Beyond UKIP believes in a low tax, free-market economy. It is not the preserve of government to give special favour to particular businesses or individuals due their wealth, status or ideology. • UKIP is committed to lowering income tax, corporation tax and payroll taxes where feasible, which will allow individuals and companies to keep more of their own money. • UKIP will seek to balance the national budget by reducing the budget deficit to zero and thereafter paying off our national debt. • UKIP opposes price capping and price controls. • On leaving the EU, we will maintain payments administered by the EU to UK businesses, farms, universities, and research organisations. This is our money anyway, which is paid to Brussels and then given back. • UKIP will create Free Ports to turbo-charge the north of England. There are a number of sites: Immingham and Grimsby, Hull Port, the Hull and Humber rivers, Tees and Hartlepool, Liverpool, the Tyne, and Manchester airport, which have pre-existing infrastructure, spare freight capacity, superb geographical proximity to foreign markets, and the drive to grow to their full potential. Combining those ports with enterprise zones would allow businesses to import, process and export goods within them, without facing tariffs and customs difficulties. This would potentially create 150,000 jobs, and boost UK international trade by £12bn a year. (7) • UKIP will defund the “third sector”, comprising thousands of NGOs and QUANGOs - many of which are openly political in nature. A great number of these organisations should be subject to free-market principles: if they cannot raise money in the private sector for their activities, they should not be kept afloat by government subsidies.
