The Galician Parliament approved a motion to urge the central government, through an emergency procedure, to request an extension for the 2016- 2018 period up to a total of 30,000 metric tons of tuna loins at zero tariff.

This backs the request of the association of Spanish canners Anfaco on the 30,000t quota, as it has a key “impact on competitiveness and employment levels,” it said.

Anfaco highlighted that achieving a tuna loin quota amounting to 30,000t with 0% tariff and an a clause of 20% automatic increase in case there is exhaustion of the quota for the 2016-2018 period is indispensable “to enable the supply-demand principle in the raw material market for the canning and processing industry.”
