EU will check if Poland breaks cod fishing ban

The European Commission has announced it will conduct a special inspection in Poland, to check if Polish fishermen are really going to break the EU ban on cod fishing.

Polish fishermen say they will ignore the EU imposed ban on cod fishing, because they haven't exceeded the quota yet and they are at risk of going bankrupt if they stop the business now.

Brussels insists Poland has exceeded the quota. Polish authorities have presented documents to the contrary, but the EC has not changed its decision.

If the EC reveals that the ban on cod fishing is broken, Brussels may sue Poland at the European Tribunal of Justice.
