Agenda of the Agriculture and Fisheries Council, 11-12 December 2022

11 December 2022 - 12 December 2022

Fisheries

2023 fishing opportunities

As is the case each year in December, Agriculture and Fisheries ministers will meet to reach a political agreement on fishing rights for 2023 in EU and non-EU waters, in the Atlantic, North Sea, Mediterranean and Black Sea. The Council’s decision will be based on a proposal drawn up by the European Commission, taking into account the best available scientific advice, the aims of the common fisheries policy (CFP) and the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) set for each species.
