The BBC's considered response to Maria Damanaki's Brussels lunchtime press conference on CFP reform.
Interestingly enough, the first quote of the BBC's article is not from the industry but an environmental group?!
The European Commission has unveiled major plans to reform the EU's fishing industry and stop catches being wasted. The proposal, due to take effect from 2013, would give fleets quota shares guaranteed for at least 15 years.
"Discards" will be phased out - the practice whereby up to half the catch of some fish is thrown back into the sea to avoid going above the quota.
