During the fisheries consultations in 2010 between EU and Norway it was agreed to set up a Working Group to improve the control and enforcement measures in the fisheries in the Skagerrak, and to recommend ways to harmonise EU and Norwegian technical and control measures regulations in the area outside 4 nautical miles from the baselines. This Working Group on Technical Measures and Control in Skagerrak met during 2011 and reported in October 2011. The Working Group’s recommendations were included in the Agreed Record by the EU and Norway in Bergen of 2 December 2011. At present a Commission Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on the Common Fisheries Policy is being discussed, including the implementation of an obligation to land all catches across EU fisheries. The Skagerrak is a small geographical area with a limited number of Member States concerned. Accordingly, the provisions laid down in the present proposal are specific to the Skagerrak and the fisheries therein and hence do not form any precedent for the debate on the reform of the CFP. Nevertheless, the experiences in the Skagerrak can provide valuable feedback for the general discussion on the implementation of a general obligation to land all catches in EU fisheries. |
