Rederscentrale CV

Missie De Rederscentrale vervult de rol van enerzijds erkende producentenorganisatie en anderzijds erkende beroepsvereniging die de belangen behartigt van de reders ter zeevisserij. Daarbij functioneert de Rederscentrale vaak als schakel tussen sector en verschillende overheden. Als PO wordt gefocust op de productie- en marketingplanning voor de visserijactiviteiten van de leden. Als beroepsvereniging vervult de Rederscentrale de rol van enige werkgeversvertegenwoordiger binnen het zeevisserijgebonden sociaal overleg. De leden zijn alle rederijen die een vissersvaartuig onder Belgische vlag uitbaten van zowel het groot als klein vlootsegment en onafhankelijk van welke thuishaven ze afkomstig zijn. Informatievoorziening, lobbyen, projectcoördinatie en administratieve ondersteuning zijn gekaderd binnen ons werkdomein. Er wordt mee gedacht en mee onderhandeld over Europees, Belgisch federaal en Vlaams regionaal beleid voor zaken die een impact hebben op de visserij.

Response to Communication on the functioning of the Common Fisheries Policy

22 Sept 2022

Het valt niet te betwisten dat het Gemeenschappelijk Visserijbeleid de afgelopen jaren sterk heeft bijgedragen tot de verdere ontwikkeling van een duurzaam EU-visserijbeheer, gestoeld op de drie pijlers van duurzaamheid (ecologisch, economisch en sociaal). Desalniettemin is de Rederscentrale van oordeel dat sommige specifieke streefdoelen niet praktisch uitvoerbaar zijn en niet aangepast zijn aan de voortschrijdende verduurzaming van de sector en aan de veranderingen in het omgevingskader. In het document in bijlage vindt u een overzicht van de voornaamste aandachtspunten die de Rederscentrale wenst aan te kaarten.
