European Commission Seeks Turbot Quota Cuts for Bulgaria, Romania

The EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council (AGRIFISH) is to decide Monday on cuts to the national turbot quotas of Bulgaria and Romania.

For yet another year in a row, the European Commission has sought a 15% cut to the total allowable catch (TAC) for turbot in the Black Sea in a bid to ensure sustainable fishing.

The Commission has sought cuts to the national quotas for turbot of Bulgaria and Romania for a number of years, but the levels have remained unchanged as a result of the objections of the two countries, according to reports of the Bulgarian National Radio.

Bulgaria is expected to oppose the new turbot quota cut on Monday.
