EU/Fisheries Ministers

EU Ministers for Fisheries have reached an agreement to regulate fishing opportunities and promote sustainable management in the Black Sea through inspection schemes and benchmarks to address the misreporting and illegal fishing for turbot. The Commission also briefed Ministers on its proposal for a regulation regarding countries allowing non-sustainable fishing setting out a mechanism that will:
- ensure that the measures will be proportionate;
- guarantee respect of international law;
- allow third countries concerned to be heard and to have an opportunity to rectify their action;
- empower the Commission to adopt measures; and
- allow a rapid termination of the measures whenever appropriate corrective actions have been adopted.
