EU Council and Parliament Agree on November 12 on Modernised Framework for Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics
The Council of the European Union announced on November 12, 2026, that the Council and the European Parliament have agreed on a modernised framework for fisheries and aquaculture statistics, improving data quality and simplifying reporting across the EU.
The new framework updates the rules under which the EU collects fisheries and aquaculture data, making member-state reporting simpler and the data more comparable. Fisheries and aquaculture statistics underpin the Common Fisheries Policy, quota management and marine resource assessments.
The agreement was one of two EU legislative advances on November 12, alongside the emissions trading system free-allowance deal. The framework will take effect after formal adoption procedures are completed. (Source: Council of the European Union)
