The Council of Ministers has agreed its position on the new Common Fisheries Policy: the discard ban has survived, though fish will still be thrown back. Now they enter final negotiations with the European Parliament - the end is in sight!

CALLING ALL FISH FIGHTERS!

Remember our last massive - and successful - Twitter campaign in February which stopped the French from derailing the discard ban proposals?

Well Europe's Fisheries Ministers are meeting again tomorrow (on Tuesday 12 June) for yet another make or break meeting on the future of Europe's fisheries.

This time, they're laying down their red lines, and attempting to agree a common position on all the key aspects of the new Common Fisheries Policy. It will be very hard to get them to retreat from whatever they decide on Tuesday.

 

 

Which is why TODAY Fish Fight and ClientEarth have taken out full page adverts in The Times, Le Monde (in France), El Pais (in Spain) and Rzeczpospolita (in Poland), to remind Europe's key fisheries ministers that WE ARE WATCHING THEM!
