"Today in Strasbourg, the House voted in favour of Mr Romeva i Rueda’s report on bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. The problems associated with the management of the bluefin tuna fishery originate in the 1990s, owing to the introduction of the practice of caging bluefin tuna in order to fatten them up for the Japanese market and, so far, we have the impression that the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) is always at least a step behind in terms of adapting to the current fishery, very often as a result of the lack of means or political will to control the fishery.
The rapporteur therefore believes that ICCAT must change its approach and try to jump ahead, moving further and faster. The EU, for its part, could declare some areas to be sanctuaries for bluefin tuna and close them to fishing during the spawning season, and could remove the derogation, for its own fishing vessels, for the fishing of bluefin tuna with a minimum weight of 8 kg for farming purposes."@en1
