DEFRA UK has also produced and excellent short guide entitled "Frequently Asked Questions Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Regulation Council Regulation (EC) No. 1005/2008"

This document provides answers to some of the most common questions on how the new IUU regulation will be implemented. It also includes questions and answers that were posed to the European Commission during their regional seminars with third countries and their meetings with stakeholders. These questions and answers have been included as they will help UK operators better understand the requirements of the regulation.

The list of Frequently Asked Questions will be updated on a regular basis at the following address:
