Despite substantial progress, Parliament and Council could not agree on the few outstanding issues.

The negotiations were almost concluded and a deal on the EMFF was expected to be announced Friday morning, said EU Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki.

Now, instead, the European Parliament rapporteur Alain Cadec will hold a press conference Friday morning at 10:00 to explain why the Parliament delegation walked out of the negotiations.
