Northwest Atlantic fisheries management

Lyhyesti 21-06-2021

During the June II plenary session, Parliament is expected to vote on a provisional agreement with the Council on the transposition of fisheries management measures for the Northwest Atlantic. As a contracting party to the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), the European Union must transpose its measures so that they apply to vessels flying the flag of EU Member States. The agreement also provides for new delegated powers to be granted to the European Commission in order to facilitate faster transposition in the future.
