The European Commission is pleased to note that no major issues, that may indicate systemic overfishing or illegal fishing activities of Bluefin Tuna by EU vessels, have been detected so far. It also notes that no report of suspicious activities has been received by NGOs. A full and explicit report of possible non-compliance activities, based on a detailed examination of the data that are collected, will be prepared by the European Commission after the official closure of the fishing season.
The European Commission control team - together with the team of the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) - is now focusing on the caging operations in Spain and Malta, in close co-operation with the competent national authorities in order to ensure that during the caging activities no Bluefin Tuna quota will be overshot.
