EU Tuna fishing ban opposed
September 23, 2009

EU nations have failed to agree on a ban on fishing bluefin tuna despite an appeal to do so from the EU head office. Stocks of the threatened bluefin have dwindled for years. It has been ferociously hunted in the Mediterranean as a key ingredient in sushi dishes. The European Commission said yesterday that EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas "regrets" the 27 countries' failure to support the ban. The European Commission wants to impose a temporary ban until the stocks have recovered. Conservation groups condemned the EU failure. - Sapa-AP
