@petervdalen @MinPres M doet best goed. Er zijn slechtere praatprogramma’s. M gaat ook leuk met kinderen om. En ja, het gezeur over de toespraken van Rutte ben ik ook zat. We kunnen ons beter aan de maatregelen houden, denk ik, dan duurt het allemaal misschien korter. Gelukkig was De Jonge er niet bij

@uk190 Ik zou de rustschema’s wel eens willen zien, want dat zou anderen ook kunnen helpen. Groet, Ment

[Ment van der Zwan @MentZwan]

@uk190 O ja? Heb je aan de rusttijden van de maten aan boord gedacht, die zich nu aan de regels voor werknemers moeten houden, namelijk elke dag één periode van zes onafgebroken uren en één van vier onafgebroken uren?

@EdRoodbeen @wimdegraaf6 De boer komt er bekaaid van af, je hebt gelijk, maar je vergeet de lonen te noemen van de mensen die ervoor zorgen dat het plakje op je boterham komt... De chauffeurs, verpakkers, kopers, verkopers, vakkenvullers &c. Het zijn niet alleen die fondsen die aan ons voedsel verdienen.

@MeijerSascha Had a social dialogue meeting last Friday and both workers and employers in sea-fishing urged the EU to use its diplomatic and economic power better to improve the situation for seafarers and fishers substantially.

[Sascha MeijerNautilus @MeijerSascha]

Het is toch ongelooflijk dat mensen weer op vakantie gaan terwijl zeevarenden nog op schepen zitten! Ook Nederland moet meer flexibiliteit tonen rond visumverstrekking. Zeevarenden verdwijnen niet in de illegaliteit. Die gaan naar huis. Of aan boord.

@FISHplatform @IMOHQ @EuropecheOrg 1 in every 25 workers at sea is a seafarer; the remaining 24 are fishers...

@graskeggur Got it! Can’t wait to start reading it!

Thailand’s Prime Minister has touted his crackdown on fishing industry abuses, but disgruntled fishermen are now mulling mass protests https://t.co/Ew70Z5yRSe vía @bpolitics

@MarloesKraan ... om zo voedselzekerheid te bevorderen...

[Ment van der Zwan @MentZwan]

@EuropecheOrg @EU_MARE @IMOHQ @EP_Fisheries @KarmenuVella @FISHplatform @FAOfish @ilo @LDAC_eu @ETF_Fisheries Actually 4 Member States have ratified C188: France, Estonia, Lithuania, and the UK... 19 to go...

[Dr Julio Morón Ayala @OpagacJulio]

If by 2020 @TunaFFA is able to impose @ilo #C188 as licensing condition, it would be a gret acheivement that could be reinforced by the ratification of #C188 by all the 17 FFA countries. Eager to learn more details about this decision.

[Martin Murphy @MartinMurphyILO]

75 years ago today, the @ILO Declaration of Philadelphia was unanimously adopted by the International Labour Conference. It said, among other things, that poverty anywhere is a danger to prosperity everywhere. It was true then, it is true now. #ILO100

Another step forward at the IMO HTW6 meeting this week on the content of the #IMO #STCW-F Basic #safety #training for all #fishing personnel. Thanks to #FISHplatform participants in several national delegations for their contribution

[Pew Europe @PewEurope]

The @ilo estimate >15M people work on board fishing vessels, sometimes in unsafe conditions. Passage of these 3 treaties can help address illegal fishing and the exploitation of fisheries and workers that stem from it. https://t.co/vgUxktZWlC #SafeSeas #InternationalWorkersDay
