    European Parliament gets tough on fishing industry and conservation

    The vote was on a 6.5 billion Euro budget to finance the Common Fisheries Policy for seven years beginning in 2014.

    The European Parliament voted Wednesday to reject most new subsidies for the saltwater fishing industry and provide financial support for new ecologically friendly measures meant to prevent overfishing. But in a nod to commercial fishing fleets, the lawmakers did maintain some handouts to the industry.
