In an editorial in the Financial Times published in this Saturday’s paper (February 9) the last week’s positive development in the EU is highlighted. The reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which Nils Torvalds has been heavily involved in, is especially mentioned. Quote from the editorial:
”the European parliament did its part to demonstrate that EU institutions can get things right. MEPs voted to reform fishing quotas, for the first time basing them on scientifically determined sustainable yields. After years of failed attempts, the EU is not only closer to ending grotesque waste and depletion but it is proving itself capable of reform when policies are not working.”
