LAST MILE BEFORE THE FESTIVE SEASON: It’s that time of year again — for fisheries ministers to fight about quotas for two days and possibly two nights, as they do every December. The meeting starts this morning, and will be the first test of stamina of the new commissioner responsible, Virginijus Sinkevičius. He’ll have visitors this morning: activists from the Our Fish NGO will present him and Finnish Minister Jari Leppä with half a million signatures from EU citizens calling for an “end to overfishing.””
