The fishing sector and the Government of the Generalitat have at this time demanded that Europe again down from its intention to limit trawling. They contemplate that the plan authorized by the European Fee, which plans to remove the sort of fishing in protected areas by 2030, "places the survival in danger" of a fleet in Catalonia is already in clear regression.
