THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF EU COMMON FISHERIES POLICY DEVELOPMENT
Abstract. This article examines the process of the Common Fisheries Policy as the main legal source of the European Union’s fisheries law. The fact that the regulation of the Common Fisheries Policy is referred to the joint competence of the EU caused a lot of controversy in the way of its formation. Those EU member states in which fishing is a significant source of income prevented the adoption of decisions that would restrict their right to carry out fishing activities. In this regard, as well as some other factors, the author characterizes the process of adoption of the CFP as belated.
Key words : fisheries, law of the European Union, environmental law, Common Fisheries Policy.
