The US government agency responsible for fisheries is speeding up efforts to halt overfishing to fill demands set up by Congress, goals generally much more ambitious than EU policy.
At the meeting of EU ministers for agriculture and fisheries on 14–16 December, the ministers are to reach a decision on the total allowable catch (TAC) for the most important fish stocks in 2010. They are also to discuss animal welfare labelling, the establishment of an EU Animal Welfare Reference Centre and better protection for animals used for experiments. Sweden’s Minister for Agriculture Eskil Erlandsson will chair the meeting.
