South West MEP snapped with some big fish in support for EU fisheries reform
Thursday, 31 January 2013
South West Conservative MEP Julie Girling has been snapped stood next to people dressed as fish. The stunt was orchestrated by Liberal Democrat MEP for the North West Chris Davies (not in the photo) who went out trawling the corridors of the European Parliament fishing for MEPs to support the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Next week in Strasbourg, MEPs will vote on its version of the reforms to the CFP including the proposal for the ban on discards.Mrs Girling, who remains a member of the European Parliament's Fisheries Committee, also took part in the WWF campaign to ‘Paint a Fish’ and later shared her extremely impressive efforts via her Twitter account. Time to kill during Committee meetings?

Andrew is a UK passport holder, European citizen, and a twice former stagiaire at the European Parliament.Hailing from the truly beautiful South West region of the UK, he finds himself represented in Europe by three eurosceptic Tory MEPs, two UKIPs, and one Liberal.
While the EU in its current form is far from perfect, he is nonetheless firmly of the belief that the UK's prosperity and place in the world is best served as a member state and not as an isolated bystander.
This blog seeks to document the work that our region's MEPs do for us in Brussels. As such, predictably, it rarely features UKIP.
