The UK should ban the importation of Shark Fins for personal consumption

Petition Details

EU law allows individuals travelling to Europe to carry 20kg of dried shark fins for personal consumption. THIS SHOULD STOP

To quote the Dept for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs:

"EU law allows individuals travelling to Europe to carry 20kg of dried shark fins for personal consumption. Our departure from the EU allows us to consider options to tighten the personal import allowance and improve the traceability of the shark in fin trade in the UK."
