Recital 39
(39) The objective of the Common Fisheries Policy is to ensure a sustainable exploitation of fish stocks. Overcapacity has been identified as a major driver for overfishing. It is therefore paramount to adapt the Union fishing fleet to the resources available. The removal of overcapacity through public aid such as temporary or permanent cessation and scrapping schemes has proven ineffective up until a certain point. The EMFF will therefore support the establishment and management of systems of transferable fishing conaid for permanent cessations aiming at the reduction of overcapacity and increased economic performance and profitability of the operators concerned.
