A new @PolicyPECH study on π¨π³'s π£ fleet reviews its global operations, notably in πΈπ³π²π·π²π¬π²πΊπͺπ¨πΈπ§, and the challenges it poses to competing πͺπΊ fleets.
The study sets the tone for a forthcoming @Europarl_EN report on the impacts of π¨π³'s fleet on πͺπΊπ£.

.@PolicyPECH highlights that π¨π³'s fleet - the world's biggest - operates globally and drives #overfishing, environmental destruction & human rights abuse.
The fleet profits unfairly from illegality, a lack of transparency & data gaps as our report shows:

.@PolicyPech reports that the πͺπΊ can encourage π¨π³ towards regulating its fleet.
But this is possible only if the πͺπΊ@EU_Mare can lead by example and be credible when it promotes #transparency.

To be credible promoting #transparency globally, πͺπΊ must push not just π¨π³, but its own π£ fleet to be more transparent and accurate in their reporting by:
β Mandating onboard catch certification and electronic monitoring systems.
βNot lowering standards.

.@EUAuditors also recently found that import controls are not uniform across the Union.
As a result, fish caught illegally by π¨π³βs vessels ends up on EU plates too easily, outcompeting legal π£ in the πͺπΊ.
To fight #IUU π£, import checks must be consistent & strong across the πͺπΊ

The study by @PolicyPECH aligns with the latest advice of πͺπΊπ£ advisory councils, which call on the EU to step up its engagement with China.
High sustainability standards & transparency must be applied to drive positive changes all along the supply chain.

To achieve this, resources dedicated to the implementation of the EUβs policy against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing must be reinforced.
The EU must also be able to count on its strategic allies around the world to enforce strong checks on #IllegalFishing.
