Eurogroup for Animals, 8 Sept 2022

-- Functioning of the CFP -- The key objectives to fish at sustainable levels and to end discarding have been hindered by the CFP’s regional approach. Member States have used their powers to gain exemptions on key objectives rather than implement conservation measures, and the Commission has…

Stichting BirdLife Europe, 23 Sept 2022

Despite the CFP's objectives to make EU fisheries economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, progress in implementation has been too slow to effectively protect and restore marine ecosystems. This was clearly confirmed by the European Court of Auditors in its Special Report…

FUNDACION OCEANA, 23 Sept 2022

Eight years after the last reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) entered into force, the EU, which has exclusive competence in this area, is yet to succeed in fulfilling its objectives. Implementation and enforcement challenges remain, often due to Member States’ inaction, insufficient…

Consultation response

Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, 23 Sept 2022

The objectives of the CFP and the details of the legal text in the Basic regulation have not been fully implemented. However, this is more a result of poor implementation than a problem with the legal text itself. The current core intentions of the CFP remain the relevant ones: setting strict…

Finnish NGO urges deeper ecosystem approach in EU fisheries reform

Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto - The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, 23 Sept 2022

The organization requests moving beyond maximum sustainable yield to ecosystem-based management that considers water quality and impacts on non-quota species. They want recreational fishing included under CFP rules and quotas, policy extended to inland waters, and replacement of relative stability principle with spawning state principle for migratory fish.
This would strengthen marine ecosystem protections beyond their core conservation mission.
Commercial fishing fleets lose flexibility as recreational fishers face new quota restrictions.

The CFP has shown positive impacts on different fish stocks through the setting of catch limits at or below MSY. Following science has benefited pelagic fish stocks…

Our Fish, 23 Sept 2022

Ending overfishing by 2020 In the last 8 years, the CFP has improved the state of many fish populations and contributed to increasing the general profitability of EU fleets. However, the 2020 legal deadline to exploit all harvested species in line with MSY has been missed in all European seas. MSY…

BalticWaters, 23 Sept 2022

Den gemensamma fiskeripolitiken ska säkerställa att fisket bidrar till ekonomiskt, socialt och miljömässigt hållbar utveckling och styras av försiktighetsprincipen. Tyvärr har utvecklingen för Östersjöns fiskarter under lång tid varit negativ. Sedan införandet av Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY)*…

Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux/BirdLife France, 23 Sept 2022

Malgré les objectifs de la PCP de rendre la pêche de l'UE économiquement, socialement et écologiquement durable, les progrès dans sa mise en œuvre ont été trop lents pour protéger et restaurer efficacement les écosystèmes marins. La Cour des comptes européenne a elle-même confirmé ce constat dans…

Consultation response

Stockholms universitet, 22 Sept 2022

A fundamental problem with the CFP as implemented in the Baltic Sea is the effort to fish at levels corresponding to a narrowly estimated maximum sustainable yield (Fmsy, our emphasis). This approach was criticized already in the run-up to the reform, including by one of the leading scientists…
