Abstract

This Recommendation amends Paragraph 12 of Recommendation GFCM/42/2018/3 regarding the establishment of a GFCM working group in 2022, in order to develop measures for the management of the key species listed in Annex 1, taking into consideration the efforts made by the contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties to manage relevant fisheries as well as the amount of historical catches, towards the identification and application, in some cases, of stricter rules than those defined in this recommendation, also based on socio-economic considerations. Furthermore, this Recommendation amends Paragraph 16 of Recommendation GFCM/42/2018/3 by adopting long-term management measures to achieve the objectives set out in paragraph 1, in complement to or in replacement of the measures referred to in Part IV.
