“Now you have to put the fish in boxes directly. They say the boat is dirty…”

Now they have imposed that you stop putting the fish in the boat. Before, you would put the fish directly in the boat. No, now when you shake it, you have to put the fish in the boxes directly. You can’t keep it in the boat anymore, because I don’t know, because the boat is dirty for some reason, because… And they look for all kinds of reasons to kick the fisherman out. Because the European Union has imposed: either stop the fishing, or create a fish market. And they didn’t create a fish market and now how can I say it? In order to close the fishing, they normally have to give the fisherman some compensation, something. And then they look for reasons to catch you, to file a criminal case against you, to take you out of the loop. Understand? And there are many fishermen who have already given up. There are many who have criminal cases. They accuse you for not being in the right place, they catch you “Look, you have undersized fish”. A few fish, and they look for some… and they file a criminal case against you.
For the poacher, they give him a fine and that’s it. But they file a case against a fisherman who is authorized. That’s it. Didn’t I say? The poacher is more favored than a fisherman who pays taxes to the state. They have nothing to ask of the poacher. If he catches you, he asks for your documents, your fishing permit, your license, all your documents. And if he catches you, you’re treated as a company. If he catches you, you’re good to pay. But what should he ask of the poacher? His ID? And what? What does he do with that ID? He gives him a fine. How much is the fine for poaching? From this much to this much. From 500 (100 euro), let’s say, to 1000 lei (200 euro). And if he pays it within 24 hours, he pays half. And he goes back to poaching. Or if not, he sees that the police are coming, he throws the fish out of the boat and what can you do to him? You can’t do anything to him.
