EU Cuts Poland Cod Quota After Overfishing In 2007 LUXEMBOURG: April 15, 2008 LUXEMBOURG - European Union ministers agreed on Monday to reduce Poland's annual allowances over four years for fishing cod in the eastern Baltic Sea as pay back for busting the quota in 2007, officials said on Monday. The decision ends months of angry exchanges between Warsaw and Brussels over whether Poland caught too much cod last year. At one point, Poland even filed a lawsuit against the European Commission, which administers quotas, at the EU's highest court.
