The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union has reshaped fisheries relations in the North-East Atlantic to an unprecedented degree, with far-reaching consequences for the fishing sector in the region and beyond. Under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, EU vessels retained full access to UK waters for an adjustment period lasting until 30 June 2026, after which access will be subject to annual consultations. One of the most significant changes introduced by the agreement on ...

Accounting for 17 % of the global average per capita intake of animal protein, fisheries products support many people's livelihoods and make a significant contribution to food security. However, more than a third of world stocks are fished at biologically unsustainable levels. Economic losses from the depletion of fish stocks are estimated at US$83 billion. A reduction in fishing capacity and effort would help stocks recover, yet many governments of fishing countries continue to support the sector ...

From 2021 to 2025, the EU is gradually transferring part of its fishing quota shares to the UK, in line with the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). In total, 55 shared stocks are concerned, and 60 % of the overall Brexit quota transfer occurred in 2021. This infographic illustrates the EU quota transfer that year for some of the most affected fish stocks. The quota transfer in 2021 for the selected stocks totals 62 211 tonnes, with an estimated overall value of €103 million.

The Common Market Organisation (CMO) in fisheries and aquaculture products was the first component of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Its scope for action in the face of the recent crisis in the fisheries sector was seen as limited, given the nature of its intervention mechanisms and the scarce funding allocated to them, leading to a comprehensive reform laying down the new groundwork for the CMO and the entire CFP as of 2014. The revised CMO improves market surveillance and food safety and consumer ...

A Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) was first formulated in the Treaty of Rome. Initially linked to the Common Agricultural Policy, over time it has gradually become more independent. The primary goal of the CFP, as revised in 2002, is to ensure sustainable fisheries and guarantee incomes and stable jobs for fishermen. Several changes to the fisheries policy were introduced in the Treaty of Lisbon. In 2013 the Council and Parliament reached agreement on a new CFP, for the long-term environmental, economic ...
