The European Commission has published an evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy Regulation for the period 2014‑2024, noting that progress toward sustainable fisheries has been slower than expected. The report acknowledges gains in reducing over‑fishing and improving management but highlights that fish stock recovery remains inadequate and that predicted economic benefits have not fully materialised. It cites rising operational costs, ageing vessels and limited access for small‑scale fishers as ongoing challenges. The evaluation points to inconsistent implementation of rules, especially the landing obligation, as a major barrier. The findings will inform future reforms, the 2040 Vision for Fisheries and Aquaculture, and the EU’s external fisheries strategy.
