Most EU fish stocks are overfished. Help us end subsidies fuelling overfishing. Read on or visit ocean2012.eu/action

On February 6, 2013 the European Parliament voted overwhelming in favour of a far-reaching reform of the EU's Common Fisheries Policy. However, the reform is not fully over. How public funds are invested - the future European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) - will play a critical role in realising the ambition of the Parliament.  

On October 23, members of the European Parliament must end the blind spend by voting:

1.            For fisheries subsidies that end overfishing;
2.            For greater investment in data collection & control and enforcement by; and
3.            Against aid for the construction of new vessels.
