| The legality of mandatory transferable fishing concessions |
|
August 2011 | Read the briefing The mandatory introduction of a system of transferable fishing concessions (TFCs) (rather than the simple allocation of fishing quota/fishing opportunities) under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) proposal is unlawful. If a system of transferable fishing opportunities is to be part of the proposal, then, legally, such a system needs to be voluntary and cannot be mandatory. Alternatively, a simple system for the allocation of quota/fishing opportunities or fishing rights (without the ability to transfer those fishing rights) would be possible. |
