Fisheries and aquaculture: Council agrees negotiating position on new framework for statistics

The Council agreed today on a mandate to begin negotiations with the European Parliament on a regulation establishing a new European framework for fisheries and aquaculture statistics.

The new framework will modernise the collection and use of statistical data on fisheries and aquaculture across the European Union, thereby allowing for the use of reliable and timely data, which are essential for designing, implementing and evaluating EU policies, including the common fisheries policy (CFP), and for supporting sustainable management of marine resources and the development of the blue economy.
