Yesterday, Europêche convened a strategic meeting with EU Member States, marking the first 120 days of the new Commission’s mandate. The meeting offered a timely opportunity to take stock of the progress made and review ongoing challenges and priorities. Reaffirming its commitment to a sustainable and competitive industry, Europêche called for urgent political action to move from words to action, revise unworkable legislation, eliminate excessive bureaucracy, and strike a better balance in fisheries policies.
