On 7 December 2016 the Council's Permanent Representatives Committee (Coreper) approved a final compromise on revised rules for the collection, management and use of data in fisheries.

Thanks to this agreement, there will be an improved framework for gathering extensive and reliable information and for making it available at regional and European level. Reliable data is essential for the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and will allow for a better evaluation of essential issues in fisheries management.
