Fishing vessels using flags of convenience register in countries with lax rules & little oversight, allowing owners to hide their identity & making it easier to evade scrutiny.
It’s time for the EU to make vessel ownership public. Transparency is vital to fight #IllegalFishing.

To escape oversight, some EU citizens register their fishing vessels under flags from non-EU countries with weaker regulation & control.
These #FlagsOfConvenience fuel #IllegalFishing, often in regions where entire communities depend on the sea to survive, like West Africa. 🌊

Illegal fishing is a profitable business. Its perpetrators often hide their identity behind tax havens & shell companies.
Without transparency, it's very hard to stop it. An EU public register of vessel owners is key to fight #IllegalFishing!
