Commission opens public consultation on the common fisheries policy regulation

Dates: 27 January - 21 April 2025

You can provide input to this public consultation until 21 April 2025. Building on the call for evidence, which opened on 20 June 2024 and drew 87 responses, this consultation is the next step in a comprehensive evaluation of how the existing CFP Regulation is performing and whether it is meeting its objectives and addressing certain challenges. The evaluation will assess the impact of the CFP Regulation on the conservation of marine biological resources and the management of fisheries and fleets that rely on them. It will also examine the policy’s effects on the supply chain, consumers, and public authorities across all EU Member States over the past decade (2014-2024). This consultation is part of Commissioner Costas Kadis’ political mission mandate to complete and follow up on a comprehensive evaluation of the common fisheries policy.

ICES Baltic Fisheries Assessment Working Group (WGBFAS 2025)

Location: Online

Dates: 09 - 10 April 2025

ICES Baltic Fisheries Assessment Working Group (WGBFAS) carries out stock assessments, catch forecasts and a first draft of the ICES advice for the fish stocks in the Baltic Sea and adjacent areas ranging from Kattegat to the Gulf of Bothnia.
WGBFAS meets annually in April to assess the state of Baltic stocks. For stocks with sufficient data this leads to a forecast of catch scenarios in the next year, while with data limited stocks, other approaches are used, such as an analysis of trends in abundance estimates or catches.
