New framework for fisheries data collection

In March 2017, the European Parliament was due to vote at first reading on a proposal to update the framework for gathering and managing fisheries data in the EU. The new rules are intended to align this framework with the requirements of the reformed common fisheries policy (CFP), and to simplify the existing system.
