Harmonised regulation requires a shared understanding of goals and solutions. By identifying reports and articles that discuss potential weaknesses in the application of fisheries control measures at a regional level, we can push to close loopholes that have previously undermined a co-ordinated response to overfishing that transcends the borders of EU Member States.
The EU Fisheries Control Coalition has identified and created a map linking to reports and media coverage discussing EU fisheries control and potential issues in the application of relevant EU measures. Clicking on a specific country within the map will reveal a list of links to documents relevant to each country.

Some of the cases highlighted by the articles linked to in this map might be subject to investigative, administrative or judicial processes. Linking of reports and articles the EU Fisheries Control Coalition does not constitute an endorsement of content by these organisations.
