EU Council gives go-ahead for Multi-annual plan on Western Waters Fisheries

European Union is soon implementing new, longer term rules to manage fishing activities in the Western Waters, which comprise both the North and South Western Waters, and the waters around Madeira and the Canary Islands.

EU Council adopted a regulation on 4 March establishing a multiannual plan for stocks fished in the Western Waters and adjacent waters, and for fisheries exploiting those stocks.

Petre Daea, Romanian Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and President of the Council: The multi-annual management plans are crucial to the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy. Today, after the Baltic and North Sea, Western Waters follow suit with the objective of ensuring the sustainability of our marine resources and fisheries sector.
