Medvedev extends controversial fishing law debates.

ASTRAKHAN, August 18 (Itar-Tass) -- President Dmitry Medvedev has
extended public discussion of the controversial fishing law.
He met with anglers in Astrakhan on Wednesday, August 17, who voiced
their objections against the dart law and complained that fishing areas
are leased to entrepreneurs who charge for fishing.
Later in the day, Medvedev chaired a meeting on the Lower Volga water
economy in Astrakhan.
"As I said, it is necessary to finish the work on the draft law. Let's
give it another month to get proposals on how to make it better and avoid
scandals and protests like those we saw just recently. But some decision
has to be made," the president said.
Earlier, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin ordered a public examination of
the controversial law "On Amateur and Sport Fishing".
