Friday, October 30, 2020
Europeche has issued a statement in which it asks the European Commission to take into account the measures already applied in the Mediterranean before introducing new closures since "an effective implementation of the Multi-Annual Management Plan (MAP) of demersal fisheries in the Mediterranean Occidental requires a better understanding of the status of demersal populations, including juveniles and spawners. " Europêche recalls that before proposing new measures or even considering cuts in fishing effort, "it is essential to assess the effects of the restrictions recently imposed by the Mediterranean MAP".
