Europêche
- Association of national
organisations of fishing enterprises in the European Union.
European Commission - Fisheries - The Common Fisheries
Policy (CFP) is the European Union's instrument for the management
of fisheries and aquaculture. It was created to manage a common
resource and to meet the obligation set in the original Treaties of
the then European Community. Because fish are a natural and mobile
resource they are considered as common property. In addition, the
Treaties which created the Community stated that there should be a
common policy in this area, that is, common rules adopted at EU
level and implemented in all Member States.
General Fisheries
Commission for the Mediterranean - Consisting of 22 Member
countries along with the European Community, the GFCM’s objectives
are to promote the development, conservation, rational management
and best utilization of living marine resources, as well as the
sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean, Black
Sea and connecting waters. Membership is open to both Mediterranean
coastal states and regional economic organizations as well as to
United Nations member states whose vessels engage in fishing in
Mediterranean waters.

An international bottom trawl survey in the Mediterranean -
In the Mediterranean, the
main demersal fisheries are localized on narrow continental shelves
along the coasts. Experiences during the last decades in this area
have shown that it was difficult to obtain a global estimate of the
demersal resources from fishing activity, especially due to the very
large dispersion of the landing places, the important diversity of
the species caught and the scarceness of reliable statistics. This
situation has induced different European Union States to conduct
national programmes for the assessment of these resources from
repetitive trawl surveys. A lot of the demersal resources in the
Mediterranean are considered as fully or over-exploited.
