During the meeting, the ETF representatives had the opportunity to express to the Commissioner the European fishermen’s concerns with respect to the developments in the Common Fisheries Policy and in particular to the lack of a social dimension in that policy and the inadequate involvement of employed fishermen and their representatives in the EU consultation process, be it in the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture or the Regional Advisory Councils.
