Suspicions of conflict of interest against a former senior official: franceinfo reveals this information to you this morning. The National Financial Prosecutor’s Office is investigating a former French administration official who now works for the fishing lobby, while negotiations are underway in Brussels.

However, tuna, the most consumed fish in France with 4 kilos per year and per inhabitant, is more than ever at the heart of the interest of some. It is above all a huge economic challenge for France which has, with Spain, the largest fleet of tuna boats in Europe. However, the populations of yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna have been divided by more than three since the 1980s. Both species have moreover been declared in a state of overfishing in the Indian Ocean. But if the biodiversity of the oceans is depleted, France does not seem to be concerned about it.
