Tridge summary

The European Union and the United Kingdom have reached an agreement on the Total Allowable Catches (TAC) and quotas for fish populations shared between both parties for 2023. The agreement, which values significant increases for species of interest to the Spanish fleet, sets TAC and quotas for 114 stocks, with increases for main and emblematic species, while reductions are made in accordance with scientific recommendations. The agreement also avoids the closure of the fishery recommended by ICES, which would have meant the strangulation of many community fisheries, including the Spanish fleet. Additionally, the agreement includes access to UK waters for the catch of albacore, something that was not possible until now.

The agreement sets TAC and quotas for 114 stocks, of which more than 40 are of interest to Spain, among which are both main and emblematic species, as well as others that, without having the same importance, are decisive for maintaining the activity of the fleet. because they make it possible to avoid the so-called strangulation effect due to the landing obligation. Among the main species, the good results for northern hake (waters of the United Kingdom, Ireland and France) stand out, ...
