Division Notification of fishing measures

The measures in the present decree involve restrictions for the fisheries sector, including fishermen from other EU Member States. Foreign fishermen are equally bound to observe the access restrictions in the present decree, since they apply to Dutch territory. Therefore these measures will also be notified in accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy. Fishermen from other Member States will have the opportunity to respond to the measures to be taken under this restricted access decree.
