    WRITTEN QUESTION E-2115/01

    by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

    (13 July 2001)

    Subject: Future of the Common Fisheries Policy

    Given the recent EU Green Paper on reform of the Common Fisheries Policy which accepts the need for radical change of the Common Fisheries Policy, and the fact that the current 6 and 12 mile derogations do not adequately protect the sustainability of the shellfish resource, does the Commission plan to extend national jurisdiction over fish resources to the 12 mile limit in order to protect the inshore fishery?

    Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

    (30 July 2001)

    In the Green Paper the Commission suggested strengthening coastal States' competence for resource management and in particular local conservation measures within their territorial waters. The current arrangements for limiting access to the 12-mile zone also seem perfectly in line with the need to protect inshore fishing.
