Workshop 10.1, Bremen, Germany

WP 10 - LEGAL INSTRUMENTS
Objectives, Deliverables, Milestones Objectives
The WP will analyse the relevant legal framework with a focus on sustainable use of natural resources, both in overfished and surplus regions, taking account of legal structures as they relate to increasing pressure on resources, options for managing of resources, and options for sharing of benefits.

Description of Work
With the growing scarcity of fish resources, legal instruments of fisheries management become crucial. They will, however, only be effective if measures of fisheries management (e.g. marine protected areas, fishing practices, and total allowable catch) as well as existing incentives for expanding fishing (e.g. subsidies increasing fishing capacity, price and sales guarantees) are considered. Case studies on developing countries and the EU will be made on legislation and sublegal law promoting and regulating fisheries, with a view on effective implementation of pertinent international agreements. The studies will be analysed as to advantages and drawbacks of the solutions found.
