The French NGO, Collectif Pêche et Développement, has just released the report “Blue Charity Business”, which is expected to be of great interest both for public opinion and the fish industry.
In the current framework of negotiations of the European Common Fisheries Policy reform, it is very important that players who try to influence the debates should be fully transparent.
This report brings into light for public opinion the donators of the environmental NGOs which are currently lobbying in Bruxelles.
These funders are part of a small group of mainly American charity foundations, which invested several tens of millions of dollars to support these lobbying activities.
