BRUSSELS (AP) — The EU’s executive arm said Monday that it wants to completely ban shark finning — the practice of removing sharks’ fins and throwing the finless creatures back into the sea to die.
Under the proposal approved by the European Commission, all boats in EU waters and EU registered boats would have to land sharks with their fins attached to prove that the rest of the shark had not been discarded.
