On 12 December 2016 the Council agreed on the fishing opportunities for the commercially most important fish stocks in the Black Sea in 2017. This decision affects Bulgaria and Romania.

In particular the Council decided to confirm the Commission proposal to have a roll-over of the 2016 total allowable catches (TACs) into 2017. This means that in 2017 Bulgarian and Romanian fishermen will be able to catch up to 11 475 tonnes for sprat and 86.4 tonnes for turbot.
