Quotes in this article

Sergi Tudela said: “Backing for the ban of international trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna is growing by the day and this latest announcement from the Commission confirms this”

Sergi Tudela said: “If the biggest Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing nation in the world, France, and the EU – whose fishing industry has the highest stakes in this fishery, holding more than 50 per cent of total catch quota – can decide to support a CITES Appendix I listing for the sake of preserving the fishery and the tuna, Europe should be able to convince the rest of the international community to follow. WWF calls on EU leadership to this end,”

Sergi Tudela said: “WWF is highly concerned that the overwhelming acknowledgement of, and growing support for, the necessary ban could be undermined by any conditions which might delay or even derail the process. The best available data of barely four months ago already demonstrates as clear as day that stock levels are under 15 per cent of historical levels. The international trade ban must be voted in at CITES in Doha and implementation must begin immediately if we are to save tuna stocks. The time for action is now, and that action must be clear and unambiguous if the fish and the industry are to be saved,”

Sergi Tudela said: “A CITES Appendix I listing for Atlantic bluefin will exclusively control international trade – so there will be no stepping on ICCAT’s toes. The international trade ban will rather help the fisheries management body to do its job by tackling the main obstacle to sustainable and science-based fisheries management – international trade on luxury seafood markets – while allowing artisanal and coastal fishermen to fish as usual and trade their tuna domestically. CITES Appendix I for Atlantic bluefin tuna is a win-win situation. With CITES and ICCAT working together there will be hope for Atlantic bluefin tuna and for its centuries-old fishing tradition,”

WWF cautiously welcomes the EU Commission’s recommendation today that the 27 European Union member countries vote for a ban on international commercial trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna through a listing on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) at next month’s meeting in Doha, Qatar....
