More than 1.1 million Europeans voted for a shark fin trade ban.
And yet — the European Commission is not answering.
This is not just a delay. This is a failure of democracy.

Over 100 million sharks are killed every year —while the European Commission fails to meet its own commitments and timelines in tackling the shark fin trade. ⚠️

We are done with empty promises. That’s why we’ve taken action:

We have filed a formal complaint with the European Ombudsman against the European Commission for maladministration in handling our initiative STOP FINNING – STOP THE TRADE.

Help us make our voices impossible to ignore:

For sharks.
For justice.
For ending the shark fin trade. 🦈💙

ECI Day Recap 2026 🇪🇺🦈
During the European Ocean Days in Brussels, ECI Day celebrated the European Citizens’ Initiative as a powerful democratic tool designed to amplify citizens’ voices.
The focus? Making ECIs more impactful.

But here is the uncomfortable truth:
👉 Out of 128 registered ECIs, only 14 managed to collect the required 1 million signatures.
👉 And even more concerning: Not a single one has been fully implemented so far!

Democracy cannot stop at collecting signatures.

Our successful ECI STOP FINNING – STOP THE TRADE cannot become just another number in that statistic. We are working with experts on the ground to break this cycle — and will do everything we can to turn YOUR SUPPORT into a shark fin trade ban in Europe.

🦈 Please help us to keep the pressure on.

Because sharks deserve action — not just promises.
