Today Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls Fish Fight came to Brussels. He came to lead a battle against the discarding of fish. What started on the screens of Channel 4, and the support of hundreds of thousands of British people, has led Hugh to lead a charge across the channel and bring the fight to Brussels.
He was joined outside the European Parliament by Comissioner Damanaki to launch the European crusade against discards. On a rain soaked afternoon, Hugh and Commissioner Damanaki, called for Euro MPs and Fishing Ministers to back Commissioner Damanki’s proposals to end the senseless waste of fish.
