Abstract
Abstract The EU fisheries management, almost since the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) was first implemented in 1983, has been unable to reach its major objectives. Despite tremendous effort and resources having been invested in improving the performance of the CFP little impact can be found. The Commission has clearly expressed the short-comings of the CFP in connection with its revision in 1992 (CEC, 1991) and its reform in 2002 (CEC, 2001) and the up-coming reform of the CFP (CEC, 2009). This paper synthesis the complex social, economic and political system influenced by – or perhaps defined by-the CFP. It concludes by proposing to by changing the institutional structure of the CFP into a suite of de facto eco-region fisheries policies to overcome the present problems of having a common policy for an extremely fragmented sector as the tool to enhance regionalization and devolution of management responsibilities to the fishing industry.
