The agreement between ministers could derail any chance of achieving worthwhile improvements to EU fishing rules under a once-in-a-decade reform Greenpeace said. Activist locked themselves to heavy obstacle including fishing buoys and oversized fish bone on June 12, 2012 at the Kirchberg conference center in Luxembourg. Ministers are expected to adopt a general approach regarding two proposals for regulations in the framework of the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP); on the basic provisions of the CFP; and on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products. The Council will also take note of a progress report from the Presidency on a proposal for a regulation on the European maritime and fisheries fund. -- AFP Photo/Georges Gobet
