Abstract

One of the main components in the proposal by the European Commission (EC) for a new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in the European Union (EU) is a mandatory system of transferable fishing concessions (TFCs). Through the creation of TFCs, access to the marine resources becomes a tradeable commodity. Although the proposal still has to pass through the Parliament and later the Council, it is a rather clear indication of which way the wind is blowing for EU fishers and their communities.
