Abstract

On January 11, 2023, the citizens' initiative "Stop Finning - Stop the Trade", led by the platform Stop Finning EU, was submitted to the European Commission, after gathering 1119,996 verified statements of support. This initiative, currently under public consultation and study for possible incorporation into the European Union (EU) legislation, aims at banning the trade of shark fins within the EU and preventing Europe from serving as a transit point for shark fins. The implementation of these measures sometimes fails to achieve the desired effect. A critical analysis is conducted, utilizing the available scientific data, to assess the scope and potential unintended consequences of fully implementing the current proposal into European legislation.
