...Tuna Ranching Technologies (ATRT), a consultancy firm in Madrid. Why? Blame the worldwide taste for sushi. European Union fishing subsidies haven't helped, either - they enable fishermen to buy new boat engines, the better to compete against the high-tech fleets that have set up in the Mediterranean.

He has offered to talk to ETA at a time when the organization is at its weakest after 10 years of relentless pressure from the Spanish and French police and judiciary, which has not ceased - the group's extortion operation was dismantled two weeks ago. But ETA has not killed in the past three years, and Basques and Spaniards alike are, for the first time in a generation, seeing a light at the end of the tunnel...
