Recognition of professional organisations and extension of their rules to non-members: guidelines in all EU languages

The so-called “CMO Regulation" on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products sets out the conditions for establishing and recognising professional organisations in the fishery and aquaculture sectors. It also sets their objectives, and the conditions to be met to extend the rules to non-members.

A guidance document for national administrations and operators outlines those conditions and explains how to comply with them and what the role of each actor is. Though not binding, these guidelines will allow for a common understanding and uniform interpretation of the rules. They are available in all official EU languages.
