Summary

Generated

This regulation establishes stricter, more selective fishing conditions for deep-sea stocks in the North-East Atlantic, including binding catch limits, enhanced monitoring, and a ban on bottom trawling below 800 meters. It affects EU fishing fleets targeting deep-sea species like orange roughy and grenadiers, as well as Member State enforcement authorities.
