Acerca da narrativa das pescas e da CEE

Algo que não encaixa na narrativa dominante sobre as pescas portuguesas:

"The overall supply of fish (in tonnage) into Portugal, with a crude net volume measured as domestic landings + exports – imports was around 500,000 t annually in the early 1960s, reaching a peak of 627,000 t in 1967. For reasons explained above, it subsequently fell to a bottom level of 246,000 t in 1979. By the mid 1980s, supply started increasing. In 2007, total supply was estimated at 655,000 t, the highest level ever recorded."

Algo que nunca ouvi nas narrativas dos políticos, a propósito da "maldade" da CEE em relação à pesca portuguesa:

"In addition to these macroeconomic perturbations, the fisheries sector was exposed to a major shock of its own: the introduction of 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zones in 1977, as a consequence of Extended Fisheries Jurisdiction (EFJ).
...
Portugal was traditionally a DWFS. The Portuguese long distance fleet operated mainly in the North and Southeast Atlantic, targeting mainly cod (G. morhua) and hake (Merluccius spp.), respectively.
.
However, with the advent of the 200 mile EEZs by coastal states in the latter part of the 1970s, countries with distant water fleets such as Portugal suffered from this change. Due to the combined effects of Extended Fisheries Jurisdiction and the end of international open access fisheries, the oil shock and the aftermath of the Revolution, the fishing sector faced tremendous difficulties."
