France has switched its stance，now supports a ban on the global trade in bluefin tuna．Eleanor Beardsley in Paris reports the ban is to come into force within 18 months(26)．
France today joined Italy in supporting a ban．The about-face will no doubt anger French fisherman but it is a win for environmentalists concerned about the dwindling stocks of the giant fish found mainly in the Mediterranean Sea(27)．
Still environmental group Green Peace accused France of caving into the short-term interests of industrial fishing by postponing the ban for the next two fishing seasons．Environmentalists have warned that a prolonged delay to any ban would prove disastrous to bluefin tuna stocks and could lead to the extinction of the species．The European Union has come close to supporting a ban in the past，but Europe's fishing nations blocked such moves．The French announcement comes just weeks ahead of European decision to put bluefin tuna on the endangered species list．Mediterranean bluefin tuna commands high prices in Japan where 80%of the catches exported．
