STRASBOURG, France European Fisheries Commissioner Emma Bonino called again on Wednesday for Canada to release the detained Spanish trawler Estai, its catch and its crew, saying there would no negotiations until this happened.

"Unless these conditions are filled, there will be no

negotiations," Bonino told the European Parliament.

She accused Canada of mounting a disinformation campaign to

the detriment of the European Union. "It is unacceptable that

the Union be made into a whipping boy...because the Canadians

have not managed their resources properly," she said, referring

to the dwindling fishing stocks off Newfoundland.

Bonino said EU member states had been right to condemn what

she called Canada's "act of piracy" and that the Commission and

EU states were still studying retaliatory measures that could be

taken "unless a rapid solution is found to the issue."
