Meeting request – Revision of the EU Fisheries Control System

A coalition of NGOs, including ClientEarth and WWF, is calling on the European Commission to reverse its decision to replace a standard open public consultation with 'targeted consultations' for the revision of the fisheries Control Regulation. The organisations argue that the rushed process contradicts the Commission's Better Regulation Guidelines and prevents a thorough impact assessment on critical issues such as Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.

• A coalition of NGOs expresses concern that the revision process for the fisheries Control Regulation is being rushed and that the European Commission decided against conducting an open public consultation before the legislative proposal's publication in early 2018.
• The European Commission has replaced the standard open, public consultation with "targeted consultations" scheduled for the last quarter of 2017, which the signatories claim contradicts the Commission's own Better Regulation Guidelines.
