Abstract
The document primarily details national Fisheries Control Program for 2025–2028, established under EU and national legislation. Its overarching goal is to ensure the effective implementation of national fisheries control measures in line with the EU's Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). The Program operates within a broader legal and policy context aimed at monitoring, controlling, and ensuring compliance with EU, international, and national fisheries legislation, with specific emphasis on combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and promoting sustainable fishing practices.
Key measures outlined include the development and enhancement of electronic monitoring systems, remote electronic monitoring of fishing vessels, and the acquisition of control vessels and unmanned aircraft to bolster enforcement capabilities. The Program emphasizes improving information systems for fisheries control, including data collection, processing, and transmission, as well as implementing measures for vessel engine power control and tonnage verification. It also highlights initiatives for raising awareness among stakeholders and the public, including organizing educational events and publishing informational articles, with specific targets for the number of events and publications annually.
The Program's objectives are to strengthen monitoring and control, improve administrative capacity, and foster cooperation with other EU Member States' authorities. Implementation mechanisms involve institutional responsibilities assigned to the Fisheries Service under the Ministry of Agriculture and the Customs Department under the Ministry of Finance, with supervision by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Program specifies timelines, with activities scheduled from 2025 to 2028, and details financial allocations, including estimated costs for each year. It also incorporates public information measures, such as regular publication of progress reports and organization of educational events, to ensure transparency and stakeholder engagement. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive framework for fisheries control, emphasizing compliance, technological advancement, and stakeholder communication within a defined legal and policy structure.
