Over 60 countries engage in negotiations regarding tuna fishing quotas in the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

This meeting was held in a hybrid format, both online and offline, and continued until November 24, with the focus on increasing the bluefin tuna quota. This means that the recovery of the Atlantic bluefin tuna population has been confirmed by the organization's own scientific report.

Spain already has the highest bluefin tuna quota in Europe, and this time it is determined to defend the "active and responsible" growth of its fishing rights.

The European delegation will represent 27 member countries in negotiations in Seville, where the negotiation scene is complex, intertwining historical interests with emerging demands. On one hand, fishing powers such as the EU and Japan have highly developed fishing fleets; on the other hand, emerging countries are demanding more resource shares to develop their own fisheries.

During the meeting, negotiations will take place in group discussions, technical subgroup meetings, and bilateral meetings in hotel corridors. Parties will weigh their support, exchange text proposals, and seek balance in order to reach a consensus agreement by November 24.
