Objectives and strategies for the management of certain fishing grounds for the period 1994-1997

The sub-committee on fisheries adopted the report by Mr VASQUEZ FOUZ, calling for research programmes to determine the size of stocks and mortality rates. As the rapporteur pointed out, the acquisition of reliable information is an objective in itself. In addition, Mr VASQUEZ FOUZ stressed the importance of the fishermen themselves and the need to accompany restrictions on fishing activity with simultaneous monitoring and socio-economic measures.
