Legal implications Natura 2000 and Common Fishery Policy (CFP)
CCB • June 18, 2014
An ongoing discussion in EU is how to solve legal conflicts within the EU legislation, not least between environmental legislation and policies such as agriculture and fisheries. CCB has tried to summarize a few of the main issues regarding N2000 and fisheries management in a short paper. The topic is highly relevant as there is an ongoing process to form guidance on fisheries management in N2000 areas in the EU.

Gdańsk Common Message
The European Commission's evaluation confirms what environmental NGOs across Europe have long argued: the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP)'s challenge is not its design, but its implementation.
