NEW ZEALAND: "An emissions trading subsidy for fishing?"

This is the titel of a post in the "Frogblog", i.e. the blog of the Green Party of Aotaeroa New Zealand. The post is in fact a reaction to a post in "The Hive", a blog dedicated to politics in New Zealand.

I will come back on this issue which I find most interesting mainly because it concerns a country that has always fought for the abolition of fish subsidies.

Hereunder are the links to the posts of the "Frogblog" and "The Hive".
