Question 13249 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Mr. Alain Perea draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the ban on the sale of bluefin tuna recreational fishing products for charitable purposes. Indeed, as part of the 2014 ICCAT recommendations relating to the bluefin tuna recovery program, and contrary to the recommendations formulated by this same international body in 2013, Order No. AGRIM1807785a of March 27, 2018 prohibited throughout the national territory the marketing, even for charitable purposes, of bluefin tuna from recreational fishing. All stakeholders in the Mediterranean share the essential challenge of recovering bluefin tuna and the need for significant regulation of catches. However, this provision prohibiting sales for charitable purposes does not contribute in any way to limiting catches since it only concerns the sale and not on the catch of bluefin tuna. Through this system, recreational fishing associations are prevented from carrying out charitable sales as has always been customary for the benefit of associations working in the general interest. Also, without calling into question the provisions for significant regulation of the number of catches of bluefin tuna, he asks whether the advisability of re-establishing, under strict conditions of control and purpose, the possibility of selling bluefin tuna from recreational fishing for entirely charitable purposes.
