Political agreement on Western Waters Multi-Annual Plan undermines Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) commitments

A group of NGOs urges MEPs to reject the political agreement on the Western Waters Multi-Annual Plan, claiming it fails to ensure sustainable management for all stocks, allows fishing mortality above sustainable levels, and lacks necessary ecosystem-based management measures.

• The political agreement fails to ensure sustainable management for all fish stocks in the Western Waters by applying the objective of restoring species to healthy levels only to a limited number of 'target' stocks while applying lower targets to 'bycatch' stocks.
