Question concerning RACs

Question for written answer P-000645-15
to the Commission
Rule 130
Isabelle Thomas (S&D)

On 9 October 2014, the Commission, under the powers conferred upon it, proposed a delegated act setting out in detail the operation of the regional advisory councils. However, the wording thereof is imprecise, particularly with regard to the involvement of trade unions in their work.

We have now been informed of Commission’s interpretation of the provision of the CFP basic regulation to the effect that trade unions are included in the definition of organisations representing professional fishermen.

Could the Commission nevertheless confirm that fishermen’s unions have not only the possibility of being represented but also the guaranteed right to be included on the RACs?
