Overview
- Horn protests are scheduled at major ports from 16:00 on Monday as representatives meet the Fisheries Secretariat in Madrid.
- The EU control regulation, in force since 10 January, mandates electronic logbooks, vessel geolocation and, in cases, on-board cameras.
- Fishers seek to restore a 50‑kilogram threshold for catch reporting, arguing per‑kilogram logs are unworkable on small, short‑trip vessels.
- Prior notification before landing is a flashpoint, with cofradías rejecting multi‑hour advance alerts; the PP in Dénia has moved against a 2.5‑hour notice applied to vessels over 12 meters.
- Galicia’s government urges maximum flexibility in applying the rules, while sector leaders warn fish markets could halt and an indefinite stoppage is possible if talks fail.
