Combating global illegal fishing: EU role

This procedure examines how the European Union can better tackle illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing worldwide. It focuses on protecting marine biodiversity and ensuring the long-term sustainability of fish stocks by strengthening surveillance and enforcement mechanisms.

This affects the global fishing industry and international partners. It aims to improve the monitoring of fishing vessels and enhance cooperation between the EU and non-EU countries to stop illegal seafood from entering the market.
