The European Commission is organising a seminar on 14 September to present the state of European fish stocks in 2010. The event will take place at the Centre Borschette in Brussels from 9-16.30hrs.

According to the Commission: “The seminar aims to have open discussions on the latest scientific research on EU fisheries, and how it should be applied in practice for the 2011 fishing season and in the long term. The seminar will cover all major European fish stocks (cod, herring, anchovy, whiting, etc). Scientists will explain their estimates of how many fish are left in the seas, and what this implies in practice for fishermen. Seminar participants will then be able to discuss what needs to be done next in order to manage these fisheries sustainably”
