"It is grotesque and unacceptable - Danish fisheries is getting destroyed by bureaucracy," says Svend-Erik Andersen, who is chairman of the Danish Fishermen’s Association. "The European Commission and the Swedish Presidency of the EU will implement some completely useless legislation in the fisheries," he says. At the EU fisheries ministers meeting next week in Luxembourg, the European Commission and Sweden, which holds the Presidency of the EU, want to adopt a new regulation on fisheries control, and before Christmas they also intend to adopt some new legislation on technical regulations for fishing in North Sea, the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. In Denmark we have the most effective fisheries control in the European Union. It is documented in international studies. Fisheries controls are not as effective and widespread in other countries. The EU Commission tries to manage this by imposing a new regulation - that is a new legislation on fisheries control.
