The European Union’s (EU) new Regulation on the sustainable management of external fishing fleets strengthens the framework under which authorisations are granted to EU vessels desiring to fish outside of EU waters. It applies to all such fishing activities, conditions the granting of authorisations on sustainability criteria, and provides a level of institutional control on Member States’ actions, as well as some transparency. It also covers poorly monitored practices, such as reflagging and chartering. However, there have been some missed opportunities, in particular with regard to unregulated high seas fishing and the public accessibility of data on beneficial ownership. More generally, the impact on sustainability of the EU’s stricter measures will depend, in the highly inter-connected world of fisheries, on whether other States also embrace such good governance principles.

欧盟关于外部捕鱼船队可持续管理的规定：国际法和欧洲法律视角

欧盟（EU）关于外部捕捞船队可持续管理的新法规加强了框架，根据该框架，欧盟船舶希望在欧盟水域以外捕鱼。它适用于所有此类捕捞活动，以可持续性标准授予授权为条件，并为成员国的行动提供一定程度的制度控制以及一定的透明度。它还涵盖了监控不力的做法，例如换旗和租船。然而，我们错失了一些机会，特别是在不受管制的公海捕鱼和公众可获取有关实益所有权的数据方面。更一般地说，欧盟更严格的措施对可持续性的影响将取决于在高度相互关联的渔业世界中，
