Summary:

Regulation (EU) 2022/110 - signed by the Council of the European Union on 27 January 2022 - fixing the annual fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

Further information:

Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 - the Basic Regulation for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) - seeks to ensure that living aquatic resources are exploited under sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions. One important tool in this respect is the annual fixing of fishing opportunities. All fishing opportunities regulations must limit the harvesting of fish stocks to levels consistent with the overall objectives of the CFP.

This Council Regulation fixes the fishing opportunities for certain stocks and groups of stocks in the Mediterranean and the Black Seas. It covers a number of EU Member States, and it arises from agreements reached in the framework of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM). It also fixes an autonomous quota for the Black Sea sprat.

The draft law was tabled by the European Commission on 17 September 2021. It was formally adopted by the Council of the European Union at a meeting during a meeting on 14 December 2021. The Act was signed by the Council on 27 January 2022 and published in the Official Journal on 31 January 2022.
