Northwest Atlantic fisheries management measures

Ve stručnosti 19-11-2018

The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) is a regional fisheries management organisation responsible for managing fisheries resources in the north-western zone of the Atlantic Ocean. As a contracting party to the NAFO, the European Union is bound to adopt its recommendations. The European Commission therefore proposes to transpose a number of new NAFO measures that go beyond the existing EU legislation into EU law. The proposal also provides for delegated powers to be granted to the Commission in order to facilitate swift transposition of new measures in the future.
