Regionalization of the Common Fisheries Policy

This procedure examines how to better manage fishing activities by shifting decision-making closer to the regional level. By allowing member states in the same sea basin to cooperate on specific rules, the EU aims to make fisheries management more flexible and responsive to local environmental and economic conditions.

This affects fishing fleets, aquaculture businesses, and regional maritime authorities. It seeks to improve the sustainability of fish stocks and the efficiency of regional resource management.
