Key points
- The current system of technical fishing measures is too complex and spread across many different regulations, causing confusion for fishermen.
- There is a strong push for 'regionalisation', allowing rules to be adapted to the specific needs of different sea basins like the Mediterranean or the Baltic.
- The landing obligation, which requires fish to be brought to port, is a major change that needs flexible technical rules to work effectively.
- Future management should rely on multiannual plans that are based on the best available scientific data and include clear targets for fish stock recovery.
