EU ministers have been disagreeing over ways to replenish stocks of red tuna and eels, with the two major fishing nations affected, France and Spain, resisting measures they consider too restrictive. Scientific reports prepared for the Commission in 2005 said eel stocks had become perilously low and commercial eel fishing could end in the EU by 2015.
