The Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting of May took place in Brussels on 13th and 14th May 2013, under the presidency of Mr Simon Coveney, Irish Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. The Commission was represented by Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Dacian Cioloş and Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Maria Damanaki. On the 15 May 2013, it was reported that the EU ministers had agreed to a deal that would ban throwing unwanted fish back into the sea in a bid to end decades of overfishing. The agreement still needed the approval of the European Parliament. |
