Sign the petition for a fair quota allocation!

LIFE Platform news quota, Rights, spain, Tuna

ART.17 IS A MUST NOT AN OPTION!

Sign the petition of the artisanal fishermen of Spain! Firma la petizione dei pescatori artigianali spagnoli! Signez la pétition des pêcheurs artisans espagnols! Potpišite peticiju o zanatski ribara Španjolske!

Hundreds of polyvalent small-scale fishers in the Mediterranean who traditionally fished Bluefin tuna are effectively excluded from the fishery. Spanish small-scale fishers are getting organized to take action and demand to their Government to review the allocation of quota system into a fairer and more sustainable one, according the article 17 of the CFP, that requires that states use “transparent and objective criteria, including those of an environmental, social, and economic nature” when allocating fishing opportunities”.

Artisanal fishermen still don’t have access to the quota they deserve! Let’s stop this unjust system and help them put pressure on the Ministry to do what it has to do: implement Art.17 of the CFP!

You don’t need to be based in Spain, sign wherever you are!

Ingredients for 4 people
Preparation

Ingredients for 4 people:
• One octopus
• One pound of potatoes
• Paprika
• One onion
• Salt
• Extra virgin oil

Wash and peel the potatoes, cut them in halves and put them aside.
Fill a pot with water, peel the whole onion, put it in the water and bring to boil.
Take your locally-caught octopus and boil it for around 45 minutes over medium heat. Prick it from time to time to check how hard it is.
When the octopus is done, remove from the boiling water, place in a platter and let it cool.
Add the potatoes to that same boiling water (so that it takes the flavour of the octopus) and boil for another 15 minutes.
Use some scissors or a sharpen knife to cut the legs and head of the octopus in small pieces.
Place the potatoes on a wooden platter and the octopus on top of the potatoes.
Finally, add a pinch of sea salt, paprika, and a splash of olive oil!
