Meeting request – Revision of the fisheries Control Regulation

A group of environmental NGOs is calling for the European Commission to follow due process and conduct open public consultations rather than 'targeted consultations' during the revision of the EU fisheries Control Regulation.

• The signatories argue that a strong internal fisheries control policy is essential to maintain a level playing field between EU operators and third countries that must certify fish exports under the EU IUU Regulation.
• The EU fisheries Control Regulation is described as fundamental for the application of technical management rules and the success of the Common Fisheries Policy and the Regulation on the sustainable management of the external fishing fleet.
• The NGOs express serious concern that the European Commission intends to replace a standard open, public consultation with "targeted consultations" during the final quarter of 2017, which they claim contradicts the Commission's Better Regulation Guidelines.
