The landing obligation, designed to end the practice of ‘discarding’ fish, is a central component of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy adopted in December 2013. In order to review the specific measures in the legislation which conflicted with the landing obligation, the Commission put forward an ‘omnibus proposal’ which provided a package of amendments to eight existing regulations. The changes proposed in the omnibus regulation concern fisheries technical measures and control rules. The European Parliament Committee on Fisheries voted on the proposal on 3 December 2014 and a political agreement between the Parliament and the Council of the European Union was reached on 29 January 2015. |
