JPP defends that the Regional Government should clarify the rules applicable to fishermen and assess whether certain traditional practices of fishing communities, such as Caniçal, need their own framework. The position comes following the seizure of fish from a vessel from that parish in the municipality of Machico, which occurred on Monday. The party states it does not call into question the inspection or the need to comply with the applicable regulations for commercial fishing.
