Commissioner Damanaki receives Greenpeace 'paper boats' in support of CFP reform
Greenpeace presented to Ambassador Tom Hanney representative of the Irish Presidency, Ms. Rodust and Commissioner Damanaki the paper boats that have been signed (and are still being signed) by people and fishermen in support of a CFP reform that supports low-impact fishing. Those paper boats were collected during a ship tour Greenpeace has started in March. The ship visited Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, is now in France and will end its voyage in the UK. Commissioner Damanaki visited the ship when it was in Paros and signed a paper boat.
Over 100,000 people offline and online (https://myboat.gp/en/) have now signed a paper boat and would like to hand those paper boats over to symbolise the level of support from the public and low-impact fishermen, effectively as a last push during the final stages of political negotiations.
