On 18 September the Fisheries Committee released a draft report titled “A new CFP: framework for technical measures and multiannual plans (2015/2092(INI)).” The draft report, led by MEP Gabriel Mato, discusses the current challenges concerning technical measures and the landing obligation, outlining Parliament’s position on the developing Technical Measures Framework currently being drafted by the Commission. The draft report also outlines Parliament’s legal basis regarding the impasse between Parliament and Council over setting exploitation rates in multiannual plans. The Fisheries Committee will vote to finalise an amended report on 10 November.
