After the transition period the current NEAFC Scheme of Control and Enforcement shall cease to apply and only the New Scheme of Control and Enforcement outlined in Annexes 1 and 2 shall apply. An ERS Implementation Group organised under the Permanent Committee on Monitoring and Compliance (PECMAC) is established to finalise technical documentation.
