Javier Garat, president of the representative body for EU fishermen, Europeche, is demanding the European Commission be more "transparent" in the implementation and process of its carding system.
Speaking at the Seaweb Seafood Summit earlier this month, Garat said although the system is positive, “the process is not entirely clear.”
The executive went on to criticize the EU discard ban, implemented in some fisheries in January 2016, and expected to be adopted by others in the coming years.
"There are certain regulations that disrupt fisheries, for instance the landing obligation.
