Seminar on Right Based Management in the Common Fisheries Policy
On 25 January 2010 the Commission organised a one-day seminar on Right Based Management (RBM) in the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). The seminar was attended by over 100 people from 17 member states, 7 RACs, the industry, NGOs and the EU institutions. Presentations were made by the European Commission, invited fisheries experts, industry representatives, and fisheries managers.
The purpose of the seminar was to progress the debate on RBM in the CFP reform context. Specifically, the aim was to outline the Commission's general approach to the possible use of RBM in a reformed CFP, and to discuss design and implementation issues in the EU using practical case study experiences.
