Job Vacancy - COMMUNICATION OFFICER at the EAA/EFTTA office in Brussels - Closing date for applications Monday 26th of November 2012




The European Anglers Alliance (EAA), founded 1994, is a pan-European non-profit, non-governmental organisation (NGO) based in Brussels. EAA represents 14 angling organisations from 11 European countries with approximately 3 million affiliated anglers. EAA dedicates its activities to defending the aquatic environment and the bio-diversity therein, particularly fish. We promote sustainable use of fish resources and defend recreational anglers´ interests and rights at the European level and beyond. Website: www.eaa-europe.eu - EU Transparency Register identification number: 60105502183-69.

The European Fishing Tackle Trade Association (EFTTA) is the leading European trade association for manufacturers and wholesalers of sport fishing equipment. Membership is open to manufacturers, wholesalers, agents and press in the tackle industry. EFTTA currently has over 250 members. Website: www.eftta.com - EU Transparency Register identification number: 08955462188-48.

EAA and EFTTA are working on sea as well as freshwater issues. Presently at the top of our agenda is reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and EU Member States implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), with a particular emphasis on habitat degradation and the fish-damaging impact from hydropower installations, and other man-made obstacles. Other high priorities are water pollution and invasive species. EAA is a member of a number of European level advisory bodies and working groups and attends ad-hoc other relevant meetings and workshops (e.g. some Bern Convention and FAO meetings).

It is EAA and EFTTA policy to generate a greater awareness of the angling community and recreational fishing within the EU institutions.
