European Commission springs to action

For bluefin tuna to have any chance of survival, we've got to make sure proper legislation is in place to protect them and, more importantly, that it's enforced adequately and effectively.

With that in mind, it's a welcome sight to see the European Commission threatening countries like Italy and France with legal action for failing to adhere to fishing quotas and not accurately reporting catches.

The Commission's decision, though welcome, is long overdue.
