the Hague, 3 jul (EFE).-the Dutch Police today arrested four activists of Greenpeace that blocked the exit from the Dutch port of IJmuiden (southwest) to Australia of Margiris, that fishing with its 142 metres in length is one of the larger fishing vessels, sources indicated police.

“Two activists are detained for breach of orders and the other two by preventing the free movement of maritime”, said to the press a spokesman for police in IJmuiden.

Greenpeace blocks since last Wednesday the departure of Margiris, arguing that its fishing destroys important schools of fish in Australia.

Greenpeace indicated that “super fishing boats as the Margiris are moored without activity in IJmuiden or the port of Scheveningen (the Hague) because they have already reached the tops of fishing allowed in West Africa”, according to a communiqué.

the Umweltschützer Organisation unterhält die europäische Flotte “zur Einhaltung der Quoten in Europa gekennzeichnet und nicht auf das Problem der Überfischung zu anderen Gewässern hat”. EFE
