Commission Report 2002 (Romania)

Chapter 8: Fisheries

Although framework legislation is in place, delays have been encountered in establishing the National Company for the Management of the Fisheries Fund and creating a Fisheries Inspection. Romania has established a compliant fishing register although administrative capacity in this area is still weak. Delays have been encountered in the implementation of the administrative strengthening programmes intended to address fisheries management structures. The Accession Partnership priorities in the area of fisheries have been partially met. Implementation of the measures under the Action Plan is delayed.
