Key points

The European Parliament is formally objecting to a new Commission regulation regarding access to fishery support funds.
The new proposal would trigger a ban on funding much faster than previous rules, requiring only seven points or two infringements.
The proposed method of calculating the ban duration (two months per infraction point) is viewed as excessive and disproportionate.
Parliament suggests a more balanced alternative, such as allowing only one month of inadmissibility for the first two infringements.
