EU auditorsโ€™ report reveals lack of transparency of EU fishing in developing countries

October 21, 2015 โ€” A report by the European Court of Auditors has revealed a lack of data that jeopardises the sustainability of EU fisheries agreements with third countries (Sustainable Fisheries Partnership agreements or SFPAs).

Oceana is concerned about these findings, which adds to the long-existing absence of public information on vessels operating outside the EU.
