The living and working conditions on board fishing vessels need to improve. The ETF believes that alternative methods to calculate the gross tonnage could help achieve that aim and, at the same time, protect the sustainability of the resource.

Social partners in fisheries – ETF and Europeche – issued a new resolution, calling for an introduction of social objectives in the CFP.

ETF and EFFAT hosted a joint seminar about the future of the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Workers, trade union activists, policymakers and experts joined the two-day event.
