In the upcoming AgriFish Council meeting National Fisheries Ministers will discuss the Commissionโs proposal for the Baltic Multiannual Plan (MAP) 2014/0285 (COD), and in particular the Presidency proposal for a compromise.
FISH together with a number of NGOs urge Member States to adhere to the binding objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), to be mindful of the Fisheries Committee vote of 31st March, and to carefully address the objectives of multiannual plans, sustainable fishing mortality rates, conservation reference points, and the ecosystem-based approach.
