This year the negotiations between the European Union and Norway to decide on North Sea stocks are particularly debated. The discards issue has shaped the negotiation, which failed to come up to an agreement after the first two rounds of talks in November. The discussion has moved now to Olso for a third round of talks. The result of the agreement will be ratified by the Fisheries Council, 17-19 December in Brussels.
Please see attached WWF's briefing on the issues under discussion, as well as WWF recommendations for the main 2009 fisheries quotas.
