"On 3 May 2010, the writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte wrote the following in his weekly column
: ‘for years, I passed (…) boats at sea (…) designed for the task
Thus, weaving an intricate design with European legislation, using light aircraft to locate tuna, surrounding it with ultra-modern technology, looking further and further, in Sicily and off the coast of Libya, and bringing it to concentration and killing sites in towed cages, four lynx were made of gold, while bluefin tuna, which had been crossing the Straits of Gibraltar for years, silvery, red riches that peppered our ancestral trap-net jargon with Greek, Latin and Arabic words, are inevitably becoming extinct’. My transcription of his words sums up the current state of affairs more accurately than anything that I might add. I believe that the EU simply needs to make up for lost time and adopt measures that enable it to act effectively in order to save bluefin tuna. I hope that it will succeed."@en1
