Commission examines the use of Rights-based Management

13/11/2007

In February, the European Commission launched a public consultation on the potential use of individual rights to fish. Rights-based Management has already been put into practice in several Member States, but has so far not been included in the European Union fishery management framework. The current consultation is an attempt to examine different management options, aiming to improve the effectiveness and competitiveness of the EU fleet, while improving the status of the fish resources.
