Abstract

This Recommendation lays down rules for establishing a multiannual management plan for the fisheries catching European eel in the Mediterranean Sea, in line with the precautionary approach to fisheries management. It shall be designed to provide and maintain high long-term yields and to guarantee a low risk of stock collapse while maintaining sustainable and relatively stable fisheries. With due regard to the critical state of the European eel stock as reported by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Fisheries and to the ensuing urgency to restore the conservation state of this stock, contracting parties or cooperating non-contracting parties agree that all activities catching European eel shall be covered by this plan, namely targeted, incidental and recreational catches.
