Amendment: Fishing opportunity targets (Regs 2016/1139, 2018/973, 2019/472)

This proposal aims to update the rules for setting fishing limits to ensure the long-term sustainability of fish stocks. By refining how fishing opportunities are calculated and allocated, the EU seeks to better protect marine biodiversity and prevent overfishing across its waters.

This will primarily affect commercial fishing fleets and national fisheries management authorities, requiring stricter adherence to science-based catch limits to restore depleted fish populations.
