ClientEarth reaction to the European Commission’s evaluation of the #CommonFisheriesPolicy, published today ⚖️🐟
The report confirms that the #CFP “remains a very important & relevant tool to manage a common natural resource and related economic activities in a changing world.”
"Where the rules have been implemented, progress is visible. The real problem is not the law itself, but the persistent failure by Member States and the Commission to enforce it.
🎥 Across the Med fishers see the value of #MPAs 🌊 for healthier ecosystems & more resilient fisheries. But weak enforcement risks undermining them. #CommonFisheriesPolicy needs to be fully implemented✅

🌊 Deep-sea protections under threat - again.

Alongside 62 other civil society organisations, businesses, and associations, we’ve signed a letter urging the @EU_Commission to maintain a horizontal spending target for investments in climate and the environment in the post‑2027 #MFF.

The current #MultiannualFinancialFramework dedicates at least 30% of overall spending to climate action, while dedicating 10% to biodiversity. Why is this spending target so important?
Europe is the fastest-warming continent worldwide - we need to respond to this with a forward-looking #EUbudget that responds to the worsening climate & protects biodiversity. Also addressing interlinking issues of pollution, related health impacts, & rising social inequalities.
