Reformed Common Fisheries Policy: Ensuring Sustainable Practices
The reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) focuses on the conservation of marine biological resources, sustainable management of fisheries, and environmentally responsible fishing and aquaculture activities. Key aspects include implementing the precautionary approach, ecosystem-based management, and measures to minimize negative impacts on the marine ecosystem. The CFP aims to eliminate discards, optimize unwanted catches, ensure economic viability in the fishing industry, and adjust fleet capacity. Claus Wille provides insights into the regulations and principles guiding the CFP's initiatives for a more sustainable fishing sector.

Common Fisheries Policy Regulation No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 Amended by: Council Regulation (EU) No 1385/2013 of 17 December 2013 Regulation (EU) 812/2015 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 Claus Wille
Common Fisheries Policy The CFP shall cover: The conservation of marine biological resources and the management of fisheries and fleets exploiting such resources; In relation to measures on markets and financial measures in support of the implementation of the CFP: fresh water biological resources, aquaculture, and the processing and marketing of fisheries and aquaculture products. Claus Wille
Common Fisheries Policy The CFP shall ensure that fishing and aquaculture activities are environmentally sustainable in the long-term. The CFP shall apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management, and shall aim to ensure that exploitation of living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield. Claus Wille
Common Fisheries Policy The CFP shall implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management so as to ensure that negative impacts of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem are minimised The CFP shall contribute to the collection of scientific data Claus Wille
Common Fisheries Policy The CFP shall, in particular: Gradually eliminate discards Make the best use of unwanted catches, without creating a market for such of those catches Provide conditions for economically viable and competitive fishing capture and processing industry and land-based fishing related activity Provide for measures to adjust the fishing capacity of the fleets to levels of fishing opportunities Claus Wille
Common Fisheries Policy Promote the development of sustainable Union aquaculture activities Contribute to a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing activities, bearing in mind coastal fisheries and socio- economic aspects Contribute to an efficient and transparent internal market for fisheries and aquaculture products and contribute to ensuring a level playing field for fisheries and aquaculture products marketed in the Union Promote coastal fishing activities Claus Wille
Conservation measures Measures for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources may include: multiannual plans targets for the conservation and sustainable exploitation of stocks measures to adapt the fishing capacity of fishing vessels to available fishing opportunities incentives, including those of an economic nature, such as fishing opportunities, to promote fishing methods that contribute to more selective fishing, to the avoidance and reduction, as far as possible, of unwanted catches, and to fishing with low impact on the marine ecosystem and fishery resources Claus Wille
Conservation measures minimum conservation reference sizes pilot projects on alternative types of fishing management techniques and on gears that increase selectivity limitations or prohibitions on the use of certain fishing gears, and on fishing activities, in certain areas or periods requirements for fishing vessels to cease operating in a defined area for a defined minimum period in order to protect temporary aggregations of endangered species, spawning fish, fish below minimum conservation reference size, and other vulnerable marine resources Claus Wille
