Just concluded a constructive meeting with @Europêche! We addressed key challenges in the fishing industry, discussed the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2028-2034), and reaffirmed our commitment to a sustainable, competitive, and resilient European fishing sector.
Looking forward to continued collaboration and positive change for our fishers.

Omdat iemand bij Wereldnatuurfonds plots vindt dat er lang genoeg onderhandeld is over het internationale makreelbeheer gaan supermarkten overwegen geen #makreel meer te verkopen. De wetenschap zegt: makreel is niet overbevist; in 2025 kan 576.958 ton gevist worden. #viswijzer
PERSBERICHT: Visketen ontstemd over overhaast ‘rood’ in VISwijzer voor makreel.

Fishers are key to a sustainable ocean future—pity industry representatives weren’t invited to this event to shape the #OceansPact
EU fleets have been working tirelessly to become ever more sustainable. Shouldn’t we recognize their efforts rather than undermine them? #FairDebate
A full room today at the Fisheries & Ocean Dialogues.
The #EUOceanPact is a huge opportunity for us all.
The future is
-Protection of biodiversity
-#BlueEconomy = sustainable use of resources
-A people-centered approach, empowering coastal communities
-Coherent policy by design

.@timheddema, Europêche VP, highlighted the EU fishing sector’s key role for food sovereignty.
Called on the #OceansPact to:
✅Prioritize fisheries
✅Action Plan on Blue Foods
✅Support generational renewal
✅Smart co-existence of marine industries
✅Ocean Level playing field
Onvermeld blijft dat NL 31%(!) makreelquotum moet inleveren; kwart (1700 ton!) obv achterhaalde afspraak van 50 jaar terug om Ierland te spekken. Bizarre omissie, juist ook gezien stevige en gewaardeerde weerstand van Nederland. #Makreel toch een van waardevolste visbestanden.

Onzorgvuldig artikel @demorgen + @MSCkeurmerk. Voor goede orde: door anderen dan EU teveel gevangen haring = Atlantoharing, niet MSC-gecertificeerde Noordzeeharing. Suggestie dat vissers per definitie ook laatste beetje vis zullen vissen is karaktermoord. tinyurl.com/48h4jvnb
