Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the Agency to bring the program for investment quotas on the fish catch to its logical conclusion - the construction of fishing vessels and factories. The Prime Minister said at a meeting with the head of the Agency Ilya Shestakov.

"We need this program to bring to an end, to its logical conclusion, until the construction of the vessels, before acceptance into service, because the fishermen are waiting for these vessels. I hope everything will end successfully", - he said.

All of these virtually provides high-tech recycling," - said Shestakov. Also, he said, will be built 23 of the coast of the plant.
