Commissioner Vella said: "I welcome that at its 50th anniversary the second performance review recognises ICCAT's high performance. This means that our efforts to improve international fisheries governance are paying off. I am also very pleased that all Mediterranean countries have agreed to address the dire situation of Mediterranean swordfish by accepting to limit and reduce their catches gradually over 5 years in combination with a comprehensive package of other measures. Bringing back this emblematic species to sustainable levels will benefit many fishermen, including the small scale fleets. But I am also very happy that for the first time ICCAT has agreed to manage sharks through a measure for blue sharks. Unfortunately, though, ICCAT was not yet ready for a shark fins naturally attached policy. However, the high number of supporting countries bodes well for the future." </p> </div> <div role="Image" aria-label="Item Image" class="ecl-u-media-ratio-3-2 ecl-u-media-bg-size-contain ecl-u-media-bg-repeat-none ecl-u-flex-shrink-0 ecl-u-ml-xl ecl-u-d-none ecl-u-d-md-block" style="background-image:url('https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/repository/picture/2016-48/medfishourheritage_16570-thumb.jpg'); width:7.5rem">   </div> </article> <article class="ecl-u-d-flex ecl-u-pv-m ecl-u-border-bottom ecl-u-border-color-grey-15"> <div class="ecl-u-flex-grow-1"> <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/mare/redirection/item/36112" class="ecl-u-d-inline-block ecl-u-type-prolonged-m ecl-u-type-bold ecl-u-type-family-alt ecl-u-mt-xs ecl-link ecl-link--standalone"> Study on the implementation of the landing obligation in the Black Sea </a> <p class="ecl-u-type-paragraph ecl-u-type-color-grey-100 ecl-u-mt-xs"> </p> </div> <div role="Image" aria-label="Item Image" class="ecl-u-media-ratio-3-2 ecl-u-media-bg-size-contain ecl-u-media-bg-repeat-none ecl-u-flex-shrink-0 ecl-u-ml-xl ecl-u-d-none ecl-u-d-md-block" style="background-image:url(''); width:7.5rem">   </div> </article> <article class="ecl-u-d-flex ecl-u-pv-m ecl-u-border-bottom ecl-u-border-color-grey-15"> <div class="ecl-u-flex-grow-1"> <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/mare/redirection/item/35937" class="ecl-u-d-inline-block ecl-u-type-prolonged-m ecl-u-type-bold ecl-u-type-family-alt ecl-u-mt-xs ecl-link ecl-link--standalone"> New discard plans adopted for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea </a> <p class="ecl-u-type-paragraph ecl-u-type-color-grey-100 ecl-u-mt-xs"> The Commission has adopted today two Delegated Regulations establishing discard plans for certain demersal fisheries in the Mediterranean and in the Black Sea.
