Il-konservazzjoni tar-riżorsi tas-sajd hija bbażata fuq il-ħtieġa li tiġi żgurata esplojtazzjoni ambjentalment sostenibbli ta' dawk ir-riżorsi u l-vijabilità fit-tul tas-settur. Biex dan l-objettiv jintlaħaq, bosta standards Ewropej jirregolaw l-aċċess għall-ibħra tal-Unjoni, l-allokazzjoni u l-użu tar-riżorsi, il-qabdiet totali permessibbli, il-limitazzjonijiet tal-isforz tas-sajd u miżuri tekniċi oħra.

This briefing note is intended to provide the European Parliament with an analysis on tax allowances, as provided by the Directive 2003/96/EC, on fuels used by the EU fishing fleet.

This study analyses the management tools for fishery management in the Mediterranean proposed by the amendment of the Parliament and their pro's and con's. Management tools currently available are discussed to learn lessons and consider possible drawbacks. Conclusions show that future policies should consider specific strategies for each fishing area and gear, by drawing specific management plans depending on whether resources are shared or not shared.

The EU will invest over €12 billion in outermost and sparsely populated regions between 2007 and 2013. Those regions need special attention from the EU because of their specific constraints, including remoteness, insularity, small size, harsh climatic conditions, and economic dependence on a limited number of products. EU measures include special allocations as well as specific supply arrangements and programmes to encourage the development of local agricultural products.

In 2011, the Commission will launch the review of the EFF with the publication of a draft regulation and associated impact assessment. This report presents an independent evaluation of the EFF to highlight the challenges faced by Member States and the sector in implementing the regulation during the current programming period. Proposals for a future EEF are developed and a series of options are evaluated.

The study analyses the structure and economic performance of small-scale coastal fisheries (SSF) in Europe. Eighteen main clusters within SSF are identified and their distribution by NUTS-2 region is presented. The contribution of SSF in terms of income and employment to the economies of the NUTS-2 regions is also assessed. Some potential policy implications of the study’s findings are considered in light of the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.
