SUMMARY OF:
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THIS REGULATION?
KEY POINTS
Designated ports
Port inspections
The EU country in which the port is located is responsible for monitoring fishery products imported into the EU. It must check that such products are legal and that the vessel complies with the regulations, i.e. it holds the required licences and authorisations, and the quantity declared matches with the quantity landed or transshipped.
Catch certificates
The catch certificate guarantees that products imported into the EU do not originate from IUU fishing. These certificates are issued by the country in which the fishing vessel is registered (flag state). They accompany fishery products throughout the supply chain to allow continual checks.
Presumed IUU fishing
Non-cooperating non-EU countries
The Commission will also identify non-cooperating non-EU countries in the fight against IUU. A non-EU country may be identified as a non-cooperating country when it does not fulfil its duties as flag, port, coastal or market state to take action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing.
Sanctions
FROM WHEN DOES THIS REGULATION APPLY?
