Common Fisheries Policy
The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is the mechanism and set of rules for managing European fishing fleets and conserving fish stocks.
Each Member State is allocated a share of the total, based on the size of its fishing industry. The industry size is measured by:
the level of employment in the fisheries and marine and fresh water aquaculture sectors, including employment in related processing;
the level of production in the fisheries and marine and fresh water aquaculture sectors, including related processing; and
the share of small-scale coastal fishing fleet in the overall fishing fleet.1European Parliament Think Tank. (2017, June 15).
