Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/1241

This procedure concerns a proposed amendment to existing EU rules on the conservation of fishery resources. It specifically addresses the minimum conservation reference size for Venus shells, a type of shellfish, in designated Italian waters.

The amendment allows for a temporary derogation, or exception, to the standard minimum size rules for Venus shells. This change could affect shellfish harvesters and consumers in Italy, potentially impacting the availability and size of Venus shells on the market.
