On the other hand, the European Union will submit another proposal on the Mediterranean Sea to the member states, with the Spanish government trying to prevent fishing days from being shortened.
The Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU), which coordinates negotiations on fishing quotas, has submitted a new proposal to Member States to try to reach agreement on the fishing quotas in the Atlantic Oceanmeanwhile, another one is expected to emerge later in the Mediterranean, where the Spanish government will try to prevent fishing days from being shortened.
The Fisheries Ministers of the Twenty-Seven will hold a meeting in Brussels from this Monday in which they must agree on fishing opportunities in the community waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea for the year 2025.
As for the Atlantic OceanThe Hungarian Presidency has already presented a compromise proposal and diplomatic sources have stated that this is the document ““It’s going in the right direction.”
Before this proposal was presented, Planas already said upon his arrival at the ministerial meeting yesterday that it concerns the Atlantic Ocean “It’s going in the right direction.” Spain was concerned about the crayfish situation in the Gulf of Cádiz.
Spain opposes the reduction of fishing days for trawlers in the region Mediterranean Sea raised by the European Commission. ANDThe Community Executive had proposed a 79% reduction on fishing days for the Spanish trawl fleet in the Mediterranean, so that fishing days would be reduced from 133 to 27 days per year.
The Spanish Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Luis Planas, described this on Monday as “clearly unacceptable” Brussels’ proposal, adding that it makes the activity of that fleet “economically unfeasible”.
Spain, France and Italy are working together to negotiate fishing opportunities in the Mediterranean. In this sense, diplomatic sources assured on Tuesday that the Hungarian presidency will do so a proposal on fishing in the Mediterranean and that they are waiting for her.
