EU Fisheries Ministers hope to reach a political agreement on the evening of Monday 22 March or Tuesday 23 March on a decision to extend the provisional 2021 Total Allowable Catches (TACs) for stocks jointly managed by the EU and the UK until the end of July (see EUROPE B12682A4).
On Monday, the Fisheries Council took stock of the state of negotiations with the United Kingdom and the measures to be taken to extend the provisional quotas, which expire at the end of March, by 4 months.
