14.6.1 Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in Ireland is regulated by the EU Regulation establishing a community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) provides a framework for the Union to cooperate with third countries and international organisations for the purposes of improving compliance with international measures, including IUU. Information is available from Ireland’s Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority website on IUU legislation.
