Today, NGOs delivered a symbolic Pandora’s Box to Commissioner Costas Kadis. A visual reminder that reopening the #CFP could create regulatory chaos and undermine years of progress for Europe’s fisheries and coastal communities.

In EU, authorities prefer to tell you where to cheat instead of enforcing the law.

A first list of harbours in Latvia and Denmark was adopted allowing overfishing (so-called margin of tolerance).
