EU nations have decided to support a ban on international trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna until stock
EU nations have decided to support a ban on international trade in Atlantic bluefin tuna until stocks recover.
The bloc has agreed to back a motion for a ban during next week's meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
The US has already given its support, but Japan - where most bluefin is eaten - may opt out of CITES controls.
The EU is backing exemptions for traditional fishers, and deferring the ban for a year.
