On the other hand, and within the proposal for the prohibition of the imports of fish captured with practices INDNR, Oceana it wanted to call the attention on the fact that "most of the swordfish concerned from Morocco to the UE comes from the use of drift networks", to which added that if this proposal is approved, the import of this fish "will have to be prohibited".
