Tridge summary

Norway and the EU have reached an agreement on a quota for Svalbard cod to be fishing in both Svalbard and international waters, which is set at 2,8274% of the total allowable catch. The quota translates to 9,217 tonnes in 2025. This agreement is a significant step in reinforcing cooperation on fisheries management and addresses concerns following Norway's decision to set a lower quota for Svalbard cod than the Union's historical fishing rights. The commission also supports Norway's proposal for a quota of redfish in international waters in the Norwegian Sea, anticipating adoption by the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) and EU regulations in 2025.
