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

  1. Measures may be imposed on countries whose fishing activities undermine the sustainability of shared stocks, after consultation and notification.
  2. The regulation clarifies the criteria for identifying non-sustainable fishing and the procedure for adopting, reviewing, and lifting measures.
  3. It requires the Commission to inform the country concerned and provide an opportunity to respond before measures are applied.
  4. Measures can include quantitative restrictions, trade restrictions, or other actions, and must be proportionate and non-discriminatory.

Who is affected

  • Countries allowing non-sustainable fishing that affect EU fish stocks.
  • EU fishing operators and importers, who may face restrictions.

Legal basis. Articles 43(2) and 207 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
