The Parliament aims to tighten rules protecting EU bluefin tuna stocks

Stocks of Atlantic bluefin tuna have dropped dramatically since the 1990s. This week MEPs will vote on measures that include further reducing fishing quotas and strengthening controls over bluefin tuna fishing in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Spanish Green MEP Raül Romeva i Rueda (in the photo) says tuna sanctuaries could be the answer in his report debated on 22 May and approved the day after.
