The Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) has started a joint deployment plan (JDP) for pelagic fisheries in Western Waters of the North East Atlantic.
“Just starting my responsibilities at the helm of the CFCA, it is with great enthusiasm and dedication that I embrace this new plan for this important fishery where multiple operators from different nationalities are working. Our firm aim is to ensure that all fishermen are treated on equal footing and to foster transparency and cooperation in the control and inspection activities between Member States”, said Pascal Savouret, CFCA Executive Director.
The Member States participating in the plan are Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Spain, France, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
