The EU needs to stick to its zero tolerance policy for illegal fishing practices. We urge the EU to agree to a stronger fisheries control regulation to ensure that offences are effectively sanctioned. #SecureSustainableFisheries #FisheriesControl

No one wants to eat fish that comes at the expense of killing dolphins & seabirds. Mandatory cameras on fishing vessels provide checks on what is caught & discarded. Make remote electronic monitoring of EU fishing vessels mandatory. #SecureSustainableFisheries #fisheriescontrol
