What they argued
This response from The Pew Charitable Trusts supplements Pew's earlier submission to the CFP evaluation (Jan-Apr 2025). It sets out how the EU's fisheries external action can better align with environmental and social policies, strengthen shared stock management, enhance the EU's role in RFMOs, improve SFPAs, and intensify efforts against IUU fishing. 1) Alignment of EU fisheries external action with other policies.
