Poor implementation of the #CFP continues to harm low-impact fishers. Quotas are required to be allocated using envi & social criteria. Yet large vessels still take the biggest share.

🚨🐟 The Common Fisheries Policy doesn’t need reform. It needs implementation. 💪👮 In 2021, the EU Commission itself concluded that the CFP is fit for purpose. What’s failing today is not the policy design, but the lack of political will by countries to apply and enforce it.
