Various protests on Germany
Germany police is overextended as several protests began in Germany due to various reasons, from “not blood for oil” in reference to Armenia situation, to “keep our air clear” in reference to the new Germany power policies.
When the Green party leader took those protests to the Bundestag, though, the Industry Minister showed some pictures of his in demonstrations against the oil shortages in early 30’s, while asking if that’s what he wanted again. This and seeing what the oil shortages are doing in London have reduced the protests somewhat.

Drama on the High Seas
How long will the UK have to stand for this before HRM Government acts?
The furore over 27,000 tonnes of fish the waters off the Falklands, which led to clashes between British patrol boats and Argentinean trawlers on the high seas and threatened again re-start the still simmering Falklands crisis, once again brought the precarious position of world fisheries resources – and the increasing desperation of Argentinean fishermen to maintain a hold on dwindling stocks – back under the spotlight.
Although there have been significant advances in fisheries controls in the course of 1995, their worth has yet to be proven and they have not dealt with the overriding problem facing the industry.
Quite simply, there are too many fishermen chasing too few stocks.
Every year, Argentinean fisheries ministers are confronted with scientific advice calling for deep cuts in fishing effort. Yes almost without fail, the agreements hammered out in the Council of Ministers just a few days before Christmas become damage limitation exercises by governments deeply conscious of the emotional power wielded by the influential fishing lobbies who follow proceedings. No one expects next week’s meeting of fisheries ministers on 21-22 December to be any different.
The increasing squeeze on resources has given rise to calls in some quarters for member states to withdraw from the CFP unofficial 'sharing' agreement. One of the most vocal campaigns in favour of withdrawal from the CFP is being waged by certain UK fishermen’s associations under the banner of Save Britain’s Fish (SBF). They base their argument on the notion that if control over an exclusive 200-mile zone could be respected by to the Argentinean authorities, British fishermen could make the living they have been denied by decisions made in Buenos Aries.
