As a result of the ongoing renegotiation of a new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), BalticSea2020 have interviewed people from the commercial Baltic fisheries to hear their views on the European fisheries management.
On February 9, 2012 BalticSea2020 organized a 12:6 consultation regarding initiatives within the project Living coastal zone. The consultation was organized ahead of the first measure in Björnöfjärden in Värmdö, but also to inform landowners and other interested parties on the planned environmental protection measures in Björnöfjärden. After the consultation a notification was sent to the county administrative board for consideration. On the basis of the notification, the county administrative board will make a decision with instructions on whether the measure may be implemented or not.
The European Parliament confirmed last week the agreement of the limitation of phosphorus in detergents and dishwasher detergents within EU.
