Other Media | Industrias Pesqueras: The EU-Mauritania fishing agreement is the alternative for the PFA in West African waters

EUROPEAN UNION
Tuesday, October 08, 2024

The PFA, the Association of pelagic freezer trawlers, has regretted the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that definitively annuls the fishing agreement between the EU and Morocco: "This result has a significant impact on the future fishing activities of the EU pelagic freezer trawler sector." Its reaction thus joins that of other entities in the sector, such as Europêche and Cepesca.

The PFA points out that it "respects" the CJEU decision, but expresses its disappointment because it considers that it does not allow the development of "effectively managed fishing activities in West African waters, in accordance with EU sustainability standards."

(EFE) – The sinking of a 129-ton fishing vessel off the coast of Jeju Island, South Korea, on Friday has resulted in the tragic loss of two crew members, with ongoing efforts to locate 12 others, as reported by local media.

In response, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has directed the Coast Guard, Ministry of Defense, and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to mobilize all necessary resources and personnel to intensify the search and rescue efforts for the 12 remaining missing crew members.
