Common Fisheries Policy (CFP): simplification of the CFP

2009/0024(CNS)

PURPOSE: to repeal 14 obsolete Regulations in the field of the Common Fisheries Policy.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Council Regulation (EC) No 492/2009 repealing 14 obsolete Regulations in the field of the Common Fisheries Policy.

CONTENT: the Council adopted a Decision and Regulation repealing 14 regulations, one directive and 11 decisions in the field of the Common Fisheries Policy.

This Regulation provides that the following acts are repealed: Regulations: (EEC) No 31/83, (EEC) No 3117/85, (EEC) No 3781/85, (EEC) No 3252/87, (EEC) No 3571/90, (EEC) No 3499/91, (EC) No 1275/94, (EC) No 1448/1999, (EC) No 300/2001, (EC) No 2561/2001, (EC) No 2341/2002, (EC) No 2372/2002, (EC) No 2287/2003 and (EC) No 52/2006.

These Regulations relating to the common fisheries policy had become obsolete, even though formally they were still in force. Since improving the transparency of Community law is an essential element of the better lawmaking strategy that Community institutions are implementing, the Council has removed from active legislation those acts which no longer have real effect.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 19/06/2009.
