Visit to South Africa and ICCAT meeting
Commissioner Damanaki is visiting South Africa from 19th to 21st November ahead of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) meeting taking place from 18th to 25th November in Cape Town, South Africa.
Commissioner Damanaki commented on this upcoming visit by saying: "The fishing sector has made significant and painful sacrifices over the past years to allow Bluefin tuna to recover. The excellent news is that these efforts have started to bear fruit and ICCAT has played a leading role in these green shoots of recovery. However, much work remains to be done and we must all maintain our efforts to keep up the momentum".
