The Spanish Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Luis Planas, has expressed satisfaction with the EU's 2025 fishing agreement, citing it as a significant win for Spain. The agreement, which has been accepted after Spain's opposition to proposed reductions in fishing days in the Mediterranean, introduces a compensation mechanism to minimize the impact on fishing activities. This mechanism includes technical selectivity measures aimed at preserving the marine ecosystem.

The agreement also addresses the total admissible catch for red shrimp and quotas for various fish species in the Atlantic. Additionally, Spain has secured increased fishing possibilities for cod in Norwegian waters, benefiting the Galician fleet.
