Food security – the role of the European Union

This procedure examines how illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines global food security and damages marine ecosystems. It focuses on the European Union's role in strengthening surveillance, improving the inspection of fishing vessels, and protecting fish stocks to ensure a sustainable food supply.

This affects the global fishing industry, environmental conservationists, and populations in developing regions that rely on fish as a primary protein source.
