This book analyzes the specific shortcomings found within the 2013 Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform. Readers will gain insight into how reform efforts are slowed by Treaty-guaranteed concessions and exemptions from general environmental legislation. The text also examines how the Court of Justice interprets principles unique to the fisheries sector. By looking at how fishery values might be brought into balance with general legal principles, the author provides a detailed look at how the damaging effects of fishing could be improved. This is an essential resource for those studying the legal frameworks and institutional structures of European Union maritime management.
