FS 77. Industry Briefing Note. The Landing Obligation.
A key element of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), effective 1 January 2014, is the progressive elimination of discards in EU fisheries through the introduction of the new landings obligation. The landing obligation is effectively a ban on discarding fish overboard.
