Brussels, 15/06/2016 (Agence Europe) - Negotiators from the European institutions failed on Tuesday 14 June to come to a compromise on the proposal on deep-water fishing activities (see EUROPE 11571).
Sources have revealed that there was a lot of movement, bringing positions closer, on some important issues such as banning trawling at depths of more than 800 metres and the principle of freezing the footprint (limiting fishing to areas that were fished between 2009 and 2011).
