Ilya Shestakov, head of Rosrybolovstvo, commented on the prospects for cooperation between Russia and the EU. Details are provided by RIA Novosti.
According to the expert, such interaction is no longer interesting.
"We don't notice them, we don't know. It is absolutely uninteresting for us. We don't cross paths with them. Cooperation with the EU in the field of fisheries is not planned, and the commission (on fisheries — EADaily) is not going to," said Shestakov.
EADaily reminds that in the summer of 2024, several countries — Sweden, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia — accused Russia of illegally fishing for cod, sprat and herring in the Baltic States during the seasonal ban. To a special commission The EU even received a corresponding complaint. Shestakov answered the accusations simply — let the Balts look at themselves first, and then blame Russia.
