Research for PECH Committee - Common Fisheries Policy and BREXIT Resources and Fisheries: a Case Study

The aim of this study is to analyse the example of German fisheries in ‘North Western waters’ and the ‘North Sea to describe and discuss potential consequences of Brexit and draw generic conclusions for some the most important principles of the EU Common Fisheries Policy). Brexit will have significant effects on fisheries of 8 MS fishing in UK waters. Main principles of the CFP like relative stability, adoption of technical measures or the implementation of the landing obligation will be affected and likely need to be renegotiated. Additionally, Brexit will affect the scientific research advisory system of the CFP and impact on marine research cooperation, in general.
