Amendment to Regulation (EU) No 1026/2012 on certain measures for the purpose of the conservation of fish stocks in relation to countries allowing non-sustainable fishing

This legislative act amends existing rules to better conserve fish stocks by addressing countries that permit non-sustainable fishing practices.

The regulation primarily affects third countries identified as allowing non-sustainable fishing, potentially impacting their ability to export fish products to the EU.

It updates measures to ensure that only sustainably caught fish can be imported into the EU, strengthening the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.

The updated regulation aims to enhance the effectiveness of existing conservation measures and promote global sustainable fisheries management.
