The CFP seeks to phase in the implementation of the landing obligation from 2015 through to 2019 for all commercial fisheries in European waters and for European vessels fishing in the high seas. The objective of this hearing is to have an overview of the state of play of the landing obligation before its full implementation in January 2019. It would be an opportunity to hear experts' opinions on the evolution of its implementation since the last hearing in April 2017 and to discuss challenges ahead, solutions and good practises.
