Summary
Key Points: 
  • The EU Energy and Environment Sub-Committee asks fisheries researchers and representatives of the fishing industry for their views on the implementation and enforcement of the EU landing obligation.
  • Wednesday 28 November in Committee Room 2, Palace of Westminster
    The EU landing obligation seeks to gradually eliminate discarding (throwing unwanted fish back into the sea) by requiring all catches of specified types of fish to be landed.
  • It has been implemented in stages, beginning in 2015; by 1 January 2019 it will apply to all fish stocks for which the EU sets a Total Allowable Catch.
  • How enforcement agencies will monitor compliance with the landing obligation is another challenge that will need to be addressed.
