La Comisión Europea en su documento “Comunicación de la Comisión relativa a una consulta sobre las posibilidades de pesca” [COM (2011) 298 final] confirma la verdadera complejidad y los problemas en lo tocante a la efectividad de los resultados referentes a la gestión pesquera, cuando afirma “el hecho de pescar en exceso supone que las capturas se realizan demasiado pronto, que la pesca capturada es demasiada pequeña, y que además se consume demasiado combustible”. El informe presentado en mayo del 2010, sobre las posibilidades de pesca en aguas de la Unión Europea (UE) para 2011, refrenda la falta de éxito de las medidas puestas en marcha desde que se aprobara la nueva reforma de la Política Pesquera Comunitaria (PPC). Dicha documentación ha sido complementada con nuevos informes de la UE en los que amplían los argumentos para abordar nuevas reformas, i.e., las relativas a las propuestas legislativas para el Reglamento Base de la PPC [COM (2011) 425 final] y para la Política de Mercados [COM (2011) 416 final]; junto a una comunicación sobre la Dimensión externa de la PPC [COM (2011) 424 final], y un informe sobre aspectos de los reglamentos que afectan a la conservación de recursos, acceso dentro de las 12 millas, la sostenibilidad y el ajuste de la capacidad pesquera [COM (2011) 418 final]. El trabajo que se expone vincula las razones del fracaso de la política pesquera a la luz de los modelos bioeconómicos y enfatiza sobre las acciones que se llevan a cabo para garantizar el lograr alcanzar los objetivos previstos para el año 2015, tal y como lo habían suscrito los Estados Miembros de la UE en la Cumbre del Desarrollo Sostenible, celebrada en Johannesburgo. Biological and economical issues that explain contradictory fisheries politics in the European Union The document of the European Commission entitled “Communication from the Commission concerning a consultation on Fishing Opportunities” [COM (2011) 298 final] confirms the actual complexity and the problems regarding fisheries management, when it declares “the fact of overfishing assumes that the catches are made too soon, that catch size is too small, and also that too much fuel is consumed”. The May 2010 report on the feasibility for fishing in waters of the European Union (EU) for 2011, confirms the failure of the implemented measures since the approval of the new reform of the Communitary Fishery Policy (CFP). This documentation has been completed with new reports from the EU in which arguments to undertake new reforms are broaden, i.e., those related to the legislation proposals for the Base Regulation of the CFP [COM (2011] 425 final) and for the Market Policy [COM (2011) 416 final]; together with a communication on External Dimension of the CFP (COM(2011) 424 final); and an report on the aspects on regulation that affect resources conservation, access within 12 miles, sustainability, and the adjustment of the Fishing Capacity [COM (2011) 418 final]. This paper links the reasoning for the failure of the fisheries policy on the basis of bio-economical models, and underlines the actions underway for guaranteeing the objectives for the year 2015, as agreed by the States Members of the EU in the Sustainable development summit held in Johannesburg.

Abstract Agriculture and environment are among others the most important priorities of the European Union. Agriculture is strongly influenced by the state of the environment, including water resources. In addition to many other policies, the EU water policy is crucial for the sustainable development of rural areas. Directives are the main tools for implementation of water policy. This article contains an overview of the directives on aspects of quality and quantity of water resources. Within the paper three most important agricultural areas of the Directive are characterized: the Water Framework Directive, the Floods Directive and the Nitrates Directive. Presented mandatory EU action aimed at their implementation and the problems associated with it. Current proposals for changes in the EU water policy are described.

AbstractThe European Union (EU) is trying to accelerate the transition from the current linear economy to a circular economy (CE). In fact, the CE is considered a tool to attain sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this sense, this paper aims at analysing the interaction between the CE and SDGs in the context of the new 2030 Agenda and the European CE strategy; thus contributing to the scarce empirical literature that links the potential of the European CE strategy to the achievement of the SDGs set by the 2030 Agenda. Three specific research questions have been formulated. First, could the objectives defined in the 2030 Agenda be considered homogeneous, and could they uniquely measure the concept of sustainability? Second, are there significant correlations between the implementation of a CE in the EU and the SDGs? Finally, is the behaviour of the 28 countries that make up the EU homogeneous in terms of the results of the initiatives aimed at the implementation of a CE? From these questions, nine hypotheses are put forward concerning the possible relationships between a CE implementation and the fulfilment of SDGs in the EU. Using a correlation analysis, an exploratory factor analysis, and a cluster analysis, it has been demonstrated that (a) SDGs do not univocally measure the concept of sustainability; (b) there are significant relationships between CE and SDGs in the EU; (c) the behaviour of these European countries is not homogeneous.

This research aims to analyze how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are included in the EU cultural policies and which are the priorities of the European Union (EU) in the cultural sustainability’s agenda. We performed a content analysis of the EU Countries’ cultural policies, evaluating the grade of inclusion of the SDGs. The conclusions show that the EU cultural policies, although not explicitly, include the SDGs in the definition of their strategies, policies, projects and actions. Specifically, eight of the seventeen SDGs are included in relation to the following interdisciplinary topics: Cultural and Natural Heritage (SDG11), Cultural Education (SDG 4), Cultural Diversity (SDG 4), Social Inclusion (SDG 10), Information Access (SDG 16), Cooperation with other institutions (SDG 17), Environment (SDG 13), Economic Growth (SDG 8) and Gender Equality (SDG 5). Topics’ priorities are generally commonly defined in the different EU countries.

This article explores the interaction between European Union (EU) foreign policy and the external dimension of fisheries policy in a specific case: a dispute over snow crab fisheries around the Norwegian Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard. We do two things: first, we examine a specific case that concerns both EU foreign policy and fisheries policy in order to understand the workings of the EU regarding these two policy domains. Second, we connect the dots between the EU’s external fisheries policy and the EU as a foreign policy actor in general, examining how intra-institutional dynamics matter when studying policy and its related developments in Brussels. This analysis of the snow-crab dispute between the EU and Norway illustrates how a relatively minor issue in fisheries policies is also relevant to the study of the foreign policy of the EU, and more generally for the links between foreign policy and fisheries as a nexus that is increasingly relevant in international politics.

The European Union (EU) discard ban, called the landing obligation (LO), was initiated in 2015 to reduce unwanted catches by EU fisheries. To ease the transition to a system where total allowable catches (TACs) refer to catches rather than landings only, the majority of EU TACs was increased to account for the part of the catch that was previously discarded and would now be landed. The analysis shows an average annual upward adjustment of 36% in TACs since 2015, but these percentages were considerably higher in 2019 and 2020 (reaching 43 and 50%, respectively), when the LO was fully applicable to all fisheries, and particularly for TACs of demersal species (reaching 51 and 60%). These results demonstrate the significant impact that the discard ban has had on the quantities of EU fishing opportunities. Since discarding has not declined in EU fisheries at any significant level, the magnitude of these increases may likely have resulted in a substantial widespread increase in fishing mortality being exerted on European stocks, and thus likely lead to an implosion of the EU TAC system, the Common Fisheries Policy central instrument to manage fisheries in the EU.

The realization of the idea of the sustainable development is a direction of development of many countries in the world, also in the European Union. It is possible to find examples of such action in the structural policy conducted by the  EU. It is directed at deliberate and intentional activity of the official authority  aiming at the harmonious development of EU regions. In particular it is regarding eastern regions of Poland which are reporting wide financial support from the budget of the European Union for social, economic and ecological growth. Particular directions of that growth contains “Strategy for the social and economic       growth of Eastern Poland by 2020”. The purpose of this article is to evaluate (using       available statistical data) the implementation of development goals in eastern  Polish regions contained in the Strategy in the context of sustainable development.

The paper aims to verify the reproduction of ‘modern coloniality’ through externalising the European borders in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, focusing particularly on its discursive and practical articulations. Crossing Critical Border Studies’ approaches and an analytical view on the policies and agreements supporting the externalisation politics, we have tried to trace the evolution of the external dimension of E.U. migration policy from the perspective of both the countries of the Francophone Maghreb and of the member states of the European Union. The results show that beyond the rhetoric of the global approach to externalisation of borders adopted by the EU, Maghrebian states have implemented forms of resistance and accomplishment to make their global political agenda prevail over E.U. attempts to manage the Mediterranean governance migration.
