7. Common Fisheries Policy, CFP Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013
Articles 11 and 18
- Conservation measures necessary for compliance with obligations under Union environmental legislation
- Initiating Member State
- Member States having a direct management interest
- Joint recommendation
ToR North Sea FISH-ENVI technical expert group
When developing joint recommendations we are working within the framework of the common fisheries policy articles 11 and 18. Important features in this process are that you should implement ”Conservation measures necessary for compliance with obligations under Union environmental legislation”, There is also the importance of the role of the “initiating member state” and the question of who will be the concerned member state “Member States having a direct management interest “ When developing a joint recommendation an important document to take into account is the “ToR North Sea FISH-ENVI technical expert group”, and the corresponding document within BaltFish(Baltic region) since this clarifies how to run the process when developing conservation measures within the CFP.
