Implementation of technical measures in the common fisheries policy
1995/2323(COS)
Parliament adopted the report by Mr Pat the Cope GALLAGHER (UPE, IRL) on the implementation
of technical measures in the Common Fisheries Policy. It shared the Commission's view that the
current measures for controlling fish stocks are inadequate and called for:
- an increase in minimum mesh size;
- geographical simplification of the rules and the use of clear language in the text of the regulations;
- the introduction of square mesh panels which allow juveniles to escape;
- detailed specifications of net type and design to discourage any attempts at fraud.
