Poor implementation of the #CFP continues to harm low-impact fishers. Quotas are required to be allocated using envi & social criteria. Yet large vessels still take the biggest share.

This is sad and outrageous! Once again, EU fisheries ministers have chosen short-term gains over long-term responsibility. Despite clear scientific warnings, mackerel quotas have been raised beyond sustainable limits. thefishingdaily.com/eu-fishing-i...

EU countries have been failing repeatedly to implement fisheries laws. That is why fishers suffer so much and that we only have baby fish in our plates. Control regulation is key! @stephen4eu.bsky.social @lowimpactfishing.bsky.social @envi.contexte.com @christopheconte.bsky.social @politico.eu

The safest and most effective choice is clear: ➡️ Do not reopen the CFP ➡️ Enforce it ➡️ Defend science-based decision-making ➡️ Hold Member States accountable for the rules they already agreed to

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

A weakened CFP would contradict growing public concern for climate and biodiversity. We are ready to mobilise.

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

✔ Climate action can be delivered through full implementation of ecosystem-based fisheries management. ✔ Decarbonisation is possible within existing capacity ceilings. ✔ The landing obligation failed politically, not legally—and removing it would remove the only real accountability tool we have.

100

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

📢 Some claims need debunking. Arguments that the CFP must be reopened to address climate change, increase capacity ceilings for decarbonisation, or scrap the landing obligation don’t hold up.

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

That uncertainty undermines generational renewal, accelerates the decline of coastal communities, and fuels populism.

100

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

📢 A revision would also create years of legal uncertainty. Negotiations would take years, implementation would stall, and fishers, especially small-scale and coastal fishers, would pay the price. They need action now, not prolonged uncertainty.

Commission’s control, exposing it to conflicting interests and an ideological race to the bottom. The last reform reduced overfishing; reopening the policy risks undoing that progress.

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

📢 Reopening the CFP also carries a serious risk of deregulation. In today’s political climate, “simplification” too often means weaker sustainability standards. Environmental policy has become a battleground, and reopening the CFP would take the file out of the

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

The latest AGRIFISH decisions on the WestMed are a clear example. A reform will not fix this. Countries that refuse to comply with the rules today won't suddenly support stronger or clearer rules tomorrow. Weak compliance does not become strong compliance through revision.

100

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

We see this repeatedly at AGRIFISH Council: 🔹 Scientific advice ignored 🔹 Agreed safeguards bypassed 🔹 Even basic rules, like the 5% Blim threshold in multiannual plans (aka the ultimate limit before fish is gone), set aside

Bruno Nicostrate @bnicostrate.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

🚨🐟 The Common Fisheries Policy doesn’t need reform. It needs implementation. 💪👮 In 2021, the EU Commission itself concluded that the CFP is fit for purpose. What’s failing today is not the policy design, but the lack of political will by countries to apply and enforce it.

Ce sont des navires capables de capturer plusieurs centaines de tonnes de poissons par jour. Résultat: on assiste à une surpêche massive, une destruction des écosystèmes et des prises accidentelles de dauphins, requins, oiseaux, et plein d´autres espèces qui finissent souvent morts ou agonisant.

As the UN Ocean Conference is starting, a clear and powerful call by scientists to protect the High Seas from all type of extractions. Yes, including fisheries as most of targeted species can be caught closer to the shore and with low-impact gears and practices. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever

Exploitation of the high seas risks doing irreversible damage to biodiversity, climate stability and ocean equity. A consensus must be built now to save them.
