State of Play - Landing Obligation update from Brussels.
On 24 April 2017, the Committee on Fisheries will hold a hearing on the "State of play of the implementation of the landing obligation and allocation of quotas by the Member States".

Since 2015 the landing obligation is being implemented on a gradual basis. Each fishery has its own specificities and differences which makes the implementation of the landing obligation a major challenge for fisheries management. The purpose of this hearing is to assess the state of play of its implementation and discuss some possible trials and solutions developed by different stakeholders over the last few years.
