Looks more like environmental concerns when one country is overfishing beyond what scientists believe the stocks can handle.

The rising tension follows Iceland's unilateral decision to catch three times as much mackerel this year as the EU considers reasonable, prompting a similar move by the Danish-owned Faroe Islands. Together with the amounts traditionally taken by the EU and Norway, the quotas would exceed the sustainable catch by a third and threaten a success story in European fishing, which has been dogged by political dithering and national self-interest.

This doesn't mean though that the EU policy isn't stupid when it comes to throwing over dead fish that were caught but not the right species.
