This At a glance note summarises the study 'Increasing selectivity in EU fisheries – State of play and best practices'. The note highlights the main findings of the study, in particular as regards the existing technical and tactical selectivity measures to reduce unwanted catches, the best practices identified from projects that have successfully improved selectivity, and the analysis of the use of EU funding for promoting selectivity developments. The note also provides policy recommendations on ...

In the EU, marine fisheries – the core of the common fisheries policy (CFP) – fall under one of the few areas of exclusive competence. This means that the EU legislates on marine fisheries through regulations that are directly binding on EU Member States. Since its creation in 1983, the CFP has been reformed three times. Most recently, in 2013, a major reform sought to achieve sustainable exploitation of all stocks by 2020, using a scientific indicator. The tools introduced to support this goal include ...

This Report is a research on the current performance of the shared management component of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and its impact on the Common Fisheries Policy. Based on quantitative data collection as well as on interviews with Managing Authorities of Member States and stakeholders, the Report also analyses the legislative proposal for the post-2020 EMFF and seeks to support the Members of the PECH Committee of the EU Parliament in their consideration.

The common fisheries policy (CFP) provides for a specific regime of access to waters within 12 miles of Member States' coastlines, intended to benefit traditional fishing activities. This access regime, due to expire at the end of 2022, is on the agenda of the November II part session, when Parliament is expected to vote on a provisional agreement that would prolong its application for 10 years.

The fisheries agreement with Mauritania is the EU's most significant in economic terms, and a central element of the network of EU agreements in West Africa. This cooperation framework is now being updated, with Parliament due to vote on giving its consent to the conclusion of a new agreement and protocol during the June I part-session.

This study is the third in a series of three, commissioned for a PECH Committee Workshop. It reviews the potential impacts of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) on the fishing opportunities aspects for the EU fishing industry in 2021 and 2025. An EU-wide assessment is complemented with two case studies on the Netherlands and France. In 2021, the adjustments of fishing opportunities for biological reasons for certain stocks had more impacts than the quota transfers foreseen by the EU-UK ...

This study is the third research paper in a series of three, prepared for a PECH Committee Workshop. It examines and presents possibilities of electronic technologies (ET) that can be used to report, document and monitor fishery activities of the small-scale vessel fleet. The national fishing fleets in the EU are large where most of the vessels are less than 12 metres in length. The information on this fleet segment’s fishing activities is limited and insufficient for documentation of the fleet’s ...

Northwest Atlantic fisheries management

Sracfhéachaint 21-06-2021

During the June II plenary session, Parliament is expected to vote on a provisional agreement with the Council on the transposition of fisheries management measures for the Northwest Atlantic. As a contracting party to the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), the European Union must transpose its measures so that they apply to vessels flying the flag of EU Member States. The agreement also provides for new delegated powers to be granted to the European Commission in order to facilitate ...

Eastern Baltic cod has long supported the livelihoods of many Baltic fishermen, but stocks of this valuable fish have been declining sharply in recent years. Every year since 2014, total allowable catches have been reduced accordingly. Scientific advice published in May 2019 reinforced the concerns regarding eastern Baltic cod, and estimated the stock to be below safe biological limits. Scientists point to high natural mortality resulting from various environmental pressures, including a lack of ...

EU fisheries agreement with Senegal

Sracfhéachaint 05-11-2020

During the November I part-session, Parliament is expected to vote on giving its consent to the conclusion of a new protocol implementing the EU fisheries agreement with the Republic of Senegal. The protocol allows EU vessels to fish in Senegalese waters, while aiming to promote a sustainable fisheries policy and sound exploitation of fishery resources in the area, and to support Senegal's efforts to develop its fisheries sector.
