Reform: actors press for change

In the framework of the forthcoming reform of the common fisheries policy, a major conference was held in May 2010 in La Coruña to give operators the occasion to compare their views among themselves and with the European Commission.

The final report from the conference then quickly landed on the table of the Council of Fisheries Ministers, 160km away in Vigo, where the ministers were meeting informally for an initial review of foreseeable options.
