Press Release: Fisheries scoreboard: Member States must do more to prevent overfishing

The European Commission on 19 January 2006 published the third edition of the Common Fisheries Policy Scoreboard which included, for the first time, data from the new Member States. Like the previous one, it showed that more progress had to be made in the collation and timely transmission of data to the Commission. The scoreboard, first published in June 2003, is based on official data from the Member States which are responsible for the reliability of these data.
