Die einleitenden Kapitel dieses ausgezeichneten Werks beleuchten die Geschichte der GFP, die Anfange und Weiterentwicklungen. Im Anschluss werden die wesentlichen Aspekten der GFP behandelt, darunter die Regelungen fur den Erhalt der Fischbestande, fur Fischereiflotten, zu Struktur, Kontrolle und Umwelt, zum externen Sektor sowie wissenschaftliche Empfehlungen, Informationen zu Interessenvertretern und zur Entscheidungsfindung. Weitere Kapitel behandeln das Mittelmeer, Aquakulturen und Reformen der Gemeinsame Fischereipolitik. Ein Ausblick auf die Zukunft der GFP folgt am Ende des Buches. The Common Fisheries Policy ist ein wichtiges Referenzwerk fur Wissenschafter und Experten im Fischereiwesen weltweit und bietet eine Fulle wichtiger Informationen fur Biologen der Fachrichtung, Biologen im Bereich Naturschutz, Meeresbiologen, Umweltwissenschaftler und Okologen in Hochschuleinrichtungen, bei Regierungsstellen und NGOs sowie in der Industrie. An allen Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen weltweit, die sich mit Fischereiwesen und/oder Biowissenschaften beschaftigen, sollten dieses Referenzwerk in ihren Bibliotheken vorhalten.

The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is one of the longest established and more controversial of the common policies of the EC. It deals principally with the management of fishery resources, relations between the EC and third States in fisheries matters, the marketing of and trade in fishery products, financial assistance to the fisheries sector, and aquaculture. However, the CFP is not just a matter for those with an economic interest in fisheries. It also raises many issues of more general concern, such as the capacity of the EC and its Member States to manage important natural resources sustainably, the impact of fishing on the wider marine environment, and relations between developed and developing States. This book addresses the CFP from a legal perspective. It provides a detailed account of the very large body of EC law comprising the CFP, and draws on the European Commission's associated documents to aid interpretation and add context. As a result, the book will be of value to anyone wanting knowledge of the law of the CFP. Although not addressing the Commission's 2009 Green Paper on reform of the CFP, the book should provide a useful reference point against which to view the reform of parts of the CFP that is anticipated to take place over the next few years.

The main focus of this book is a review of how the Common Fisheries Policy is enforced throughout the Community, with a discussion of its successes and failures. Topics include the various rules and policies to be enforced; the enforcement authorities in the Member States and their activities and strategies; the role of the Commission and its approach to enforcement; new developments in fisheries control; the costs of enforcement; and problem fisheries and non compliance generally.

Written by Ernesto Penas of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, this thorough and comprehensive book provides a full understanding of the European Commission’s common fisheries policy (CFP), which is of major importance to all fisheries scientists and managers. Commencing with introductory chapters which look at the history behind the CFP, its birth and enlargement, this excellent book continues with chapters covering the major aspects of the CFP including policies on conservation, fishing fleets, structure, control, and environment, the external sector, scientific advice, stakeholders and decision making. Further chapters consider the Mediterranean Sea, aquaculture and the reforms of the CFP. A concluding chapter looks at what’s next for the CFP. The Common Fisheries Policy is an essential reference for all fisheries managers and fisheries scientists throughout the world, and provides a huge wealth of important information for fish biologists, conservation biologists, marine biologists, environmental scientists and ecologists in academia, governmental and non-governmental organizations and commercial operations. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where fisheries and/or biological sciences are studied and taught should have copies on their shelves.

This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license. It explores the diverse phenomena which are challenging the international law of the sea today, using the unique perspective of a simultaneous analysis of the national, individual and common interests at stake. This perspective, which all the contributors bear in mind when treating their own topic, also constitutes a useful element in the effort to bring today’s legal complexity and fragmentation to a homogenous vision of the sustainable use of the marine environment and of its resources, and also of the international and national response to maritime crimes.The volume analyzes the relevant legal frameworks and recent developments, focusing on the competing interests which have influenced State jurisdiction and other regulatory processes. An analysis of the competing interests and their developments allows us to identify actors and relevant legal and institutional contexts, retracing how and when these elements have changed over time.

This book takes a critical view of the policy and law governing EU marine fisheries and the effect of the 2013 reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Reforms to the CFP are impeded by Treaty-guaranteed concessions, exemptions from general environmental legislation and the Court of Justice’s creation of principles unique to the sector. The author discusses how damaging effects of fishing could be ameliorated if the Court were to align fisheries principles with general principles of law, and considers the institutional and regulatory frameworks needed to encourage prudent resource use.

Offers a guide and provides an analysis of how a public European fisheries policy should be evaluated, implemented, and reformed Quo Vadis Common Fisheries Policy? is an essential book that provides an authoritative guide to the future challenges that face the public European fisheries policy. Written by a noted expert with 30 years’ experience in fisheries policies, the book provides the information needed to analyze how a public EU policy should be evaluated, implemented, and reformed. The book examines the difficulties of implementing the new policy including the application of the objectives of the 2013 policy reform. The author explores the myriad challenges that face the new policy due to global warming, pollution, and other global drivers. The book compares the new policy with other fisheries policy, particularly with the United States fisheries policy under the Magnusson-Stevens Act. The book offers an opportunity to address and discuss the challenges and obstacles that are not currently in the public domain. This important book: Provides a unique view from a noted expert and former policy insider Offers a critical analysis of a public EU policy from a pro-European standpoint. Gives a foundational resource to aid in the debate on the future of the Common Fisheries Policy Includes topics that go beyond EU’s policy and have implications for fisheries’ management around the world Written for administrations and stakeholders in the European and international fishing industry, Quo Vadis Common Fisheries Policy? addresses the challenges of EU’s new fisheries policy and offers a comparison of the US fisheries policy. The book helps foster much-needed debate about this topic.
