EU Regulation
The Baltic Sea Advisory Council (BSAC) was initially established in 2006. This was kicked off by the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy of 2002
A new reform of the Common Fisheries Policy was finalised in December 2013. A new regulation has been adopted in which the role and function of the Advisory Councils has been included. This is the so-called Basic Regulation.
A Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/242 came into force on 9th October 2014 and lays down detailed rules on the functioning of the Advisory Council under the CFP. Some parts of that Regulation were amended by a Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1575 of 23rd June 2017. Some more amendments were made with Delegated Regulation 2022/24 of 8th December 2021.
