EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council

Bulgaria will demand measures in support of all dairy producers in the EU at the official meeting of the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council to be held on 26 January.

This course of action was approved on Wednesday by the Bulgarian government.

The EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council (AGRIFISH) has kept Bulgaria's 2015 turbot quota unchanged at 43.2 tonnes.

Bulgaria's national turbot quota was decided during Monday's sitting of AGRIFISH, where Bulgaria was represented by Agriculture Minister Desislava Taneva.

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.
