Abstract
When it comes to credibility and sustainable and responsible fisheries, the European fishing sector’s reputation leaves something to be desired. Although not unique in many respects, the fact is that European fisheries are characterized by overinvestment, overcapacity, resource depletion and declining employment. In distant waters, the European Union (EU) fishing fleets are infamous for the unfair ‘cash for access’ fisheries agreements, and for fishing on several clearly overexploited stocks (Argentinan hake stocks and Mauritanian octopus stocks being two particularly noteworthy examples).
