The EU fisheries policy, also known as the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), establishes rules for managing European fishing fleets and conserving fish stocks. The CFP gives all EU fishing fleets equal access to waters and allows fishermen fair competition. It has four main areas: fisheries management, international policy, market and trade policy, and funding the policy. The latest funding source is the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund from 2014-2020 totaling €6.4 billion. The CFP also establishes measures against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing for all EU and third-party producers.

5. Measures against IUU fishing
This applies to all EU and third countries producers
1. The "IUU regulation” establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and
eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing- Regulation(EU)
N°2017/2403
2. The regulation concerning sustainable management of external fishing fleets-
Regulation (EU) N°2017/2403
3. The regulation establishing a Community control system for ensuring
compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy - Council
Regulation (EC) N°1224/2009
The CFP aims to ensure that fisheries and aquaculture are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable and provide the EU people with a supply
of nutritional food. The new policy stipulates that catch limits will be set between 2015 and 2020 which are sustainable and long-term protection of fish stocks.
It is important to maximize catches and there must be limits and The CFP adopts a conservative approach that acknowledges the effect human activity has on all ecosystem components.
The CFP also includes rules on aquaculture and stakeholder involvement
MSY: Maximum Sustainable Yield is the best possible objective for renewable and profitable fisheries, harvesting the maximum amount of fish on a long term basis.
Fisheries science: Scientific advice is the basis for good policy making, setting fishing opportunities according to the state and productivity of fish stocks.
Multiannual plans: Contain the goals and tools for fish stock management and the roadmap to achieving the objectives in a sustainable and inclusive way.
Regionalization: Natural resources and the socioeconomic fabric vary greatly from one place to another. A balanced representation of local stakeholders knows best how to apply EU rules in their respective areas.
To help fishermen adapt to sustainable fishing, create jobs for the sector and diversify economies in coastal communities.
The EMFF assists Member States to co-finance operational programmes and projects, to reach the objectives of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy.
It is one of the five European Structural and Investment Funds which complement each other to deliver more jobs, welfare and growth in the EU.
