Overfishing in Europe

On the 22nd of April  2009,the European Commission adopted its Green Paper for a reform of the Common Fisheries Policy. The fisheries of the European Union are indeed suffering from overexploitation of living aquatic resources , notably caused by the chronic overcapacity of the Community fishing fleet. This imbalance is the root of most of the problems in the sector: reduced catches, competition from imports, decreasing prices, economic vulnerability, lack of respect for regulations, etc. The European Commission is launching a broad consultation within the sector to find a solution to this crisis.
