1.INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURE
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 (‘IUU Regulation’) establishes a Union system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (‘IUU’) fishing. |
(2) |
Chapter VI of the IUU Regulation lays down the procedure with respect to the identification of non-cooperating third countries, démarches in respect of countries identified as non-cooperating third countries, establishment of a list of non-cooperating third countries, removal from the list of non-cooperating third countries, publicity of the list of non-cooperating third countries and any emergency measures. |
(3) |
On 24 March 2014, the Council adopted Implementing Decision 2014/170/EU (2) which established a list of non-cooperating third countries in fighting IUU fishing pursuant to IUU Regulation. |
