Summary:Regulation (EU) 2023/2842 - adopted by the co-legislators on 22 November 2023 - introducing amendments to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, and also to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006, Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, Regulation (EU) 2016/1139, Regulation (EU) 2017/2403 and Regulation (EU) 2019/473, as regards fisheries control. Further information:Council Regulation (EC) No 1124/2009 - also known as Control Regulation - established a system for the control, inspection and enforcement by national authorities of the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). The Regulation was seen as an important step in ensuring compliance by Member states of the European Union (EU) with the commonly agreed CFP rules. However, it was adopted before the latest CFP reform. A REFIT evaluation, a special report of the European Court of Auditors and a Resolution by the European Parliament all pointed out to deficiencies which needed to be addressed. That legislative framework is amended by this Regulation to address those shortcomings. It seeks to ridge the gaps with the CFP and with other EU policies, to simplify the legislative framework and reduce unnecessary administrative burden, to improve availability, reliability and completeness of fisheries data and information, and to remove obstacles that hinder the development of a culture of compliance and the equitable treatment of operators within and across Member States. The draft law was adopted by the European Commission on 30 May 2018. The plenary of the European Parliament endorsed a negotiating position on 11 March 2021. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach on 28 June. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 30 May 2023. This was formally endorsed by Parliament on 17 October and by the Council on 13 November. The Act was signed by the co-legislators on 22 November 2023 and published in the Official Journal on 20 December 2023. |
