During the discussion of document analysis of Supreme Decree 005, two years later, organized by the University of the Pacific and the National Fisheries Society (SNP), demonstrated that the rules generated no benefit to the fisheries and the fisheries resource.

On the contrary, it is causing serious damage to the canning industry and fishmeal.

For his part, the President of the SNP, Elena Conterno, stressed that the Ministry of Production (Produce) should evaluate to when the rules remain in effect.

He also recalled that a year ago the Supreme Court and ruled that the DS 005 was untrue. Y “Today we see that neither achieves results”He stressed.

“We will get the report and conclusions of the discussion the Minister of Production and the new Deputy Minister of Fisheries, and hope you can check out the DS 005 and its substitute, the DS 011, so that the fishing is also part of the revival of our economy. Do not let the engine keep shutting Fisheries”He added.
