Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation updates rules on measures against countries allowing non-sustainable fishing, clarifying procedures and conditions for adopting such measures.¶ It specifies that measures may be adopted when a country fails to cooperate in conservation or its fishing activities threaten stock sustainability, and sets out consultation and notification requirements.
Key points
- Measures may be imposed on countries whose fishing activities undermine the sustainability of shared stocks, after consultation and notification.¶
- The regulation clarifies the criteria for identifying non-sustainable fishing and the procedure for adopting, reviewing, and lifting measures.
- It requires the Commission to inform the country concerned and provide an opportunity to respond before measures are applied.
- Measures can include quantitative restrictions, trade restrictions, or other actions, and must be proportionate and non-discriminatory.
