COM summarises CFP responses

The EU Commission has published a compilation of 382 responses received to its Green Paper on CFP reform, originally scheduled to be presented at the cancelled April Council meeting.

The Council meeting was cancelled due to the air traffic problems caused by volcanic ashes. The new Common Fisheries Policy, expected to be hammered out in 2012, will next be subject to discussions at the Fisheries ministers’ informal meeting in Vigo, Spain, on May 4-5.
