EU reaches deal on Baltic fishing quotas
European Union fisheries ministers on Tuesday reached agreement on catch quotas for the Baltic Sea, officials said.
A key stumbling block, the amounts of cod that the different fleets were allowed to catch, was resolved by setting a global limit higher than that demanded by the European Commission, but cutting the number of days on which cod fishing is authorised.
The ministers, meeting in Luxembourg, also agreed to restrict the zones available for catching cod, which are increasingly threatened by overfishing.
