At issue is how fish catches are logged to ensure that vessels are not overfishing.
Bloc rules currently allow a 10% margin of tolerance between the declared catch for each fish species in a vessel’s logbook and the quantity they report after landing.
But fishing nations want to expand a loophole applied to the Baltic in 2016 that widens the scope of the 10% tolerance to vessels' total catches.
EU tuna purse seine fleet will disappear in a matter of years, says Europêche managing director.
Marine conservation group Oceana disputed the scale of the cost posed to industry by the new rules.
Giving in to them would be “a complete contradiction of the EU’s zero-tolerance policy to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing,”Oceana said.
