BOTTOM TRAWLING: 'SIESTA' ACTION - SPANISH EMBASSY, BERLIN - NEWS ACCESS

Berlin, 20. 11. 2006 Two Greenpeace activists hang down in a bottom trawling net on the premises of the Spanish embassy in Berlin. The banner on the net reads 'Spanien: Tiefsee-Zerstörer!' (Spain: Deep Sea Destroyer!). The environmentalists protest against the blocking attitude of Spain concerning the UN negotiations about the instant stopp of high sea deep bottom trawling. The preliminary end of this destructive way of fishing is one of the current issues being discussed at the United Nations in New York.
