2019/0272(COD)

The European Parliament adopted a legislative resolution approving the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a multiannual management plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, amending Regulations (EC) No 1936/2001, (EU) 2017/2107, and (EU) 2019/833 and repealing Regulation (EU) 2016/1627.

The Council's position ensures the effective implementation of Recommendation 18-02 establishing a multi-annual management plan for bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, adopted in 2018 by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The aim is to enable the EU to meet its international obligations and to provide operators with legal certainty in terms of rules and obligations.
