Events

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.

Wednesday, May 7^th from 10.00 – 12.00 CET.

As you are well aware, in order to enable recovery of the eel population, the European Commission has obliged Member States through the Eel Regulation to draw up Eel Management Plans, including a description of management measures. Examples of such measure include: removing physical barriers, the release of glass eel, a release obligation for anglers and a closed season for eel fishing. In this EFARO workshop we will discuss the possibilities and limitations of EMPs in eel management & recovery, as well as the most important ways forward to achieve better knowledge for better eel management.

We will follow the, by now, usual template of EFARO webinars: first hour dedicated to presentations and, after a short coffee break, the second hour available for questions and discussions. We have the following speakers:

• Jan-Dag Pohlmann, Thünen Institute
• Katarzyna Janiak, DGMARE
• Niki Sporrong, Fiskesecretariatet
• Andrew Kerr, Sustainable Eel Group
