The European Council of Agriculture and Fisheries has agreed to maintain the fishing days for the Italian trawling fleet in 2025, thanks to negotiating strategies by Minister Francesco Lollobrigida. The agreement aims to ensure stability and operational continuity for the national fishing sector. Notably, the impact of a proposed European Commission cut of 29% in shrimp fishing quotas has been reduced to -6%, thanks to Italy's advocacy for its national interests and sustainable practices in the fishing industry. This outcome signifies a significant achievement in protecting Italy's fishing sector and demonstrates the country's strong leadership and influence in European fisheries policy.
