The fishing effort regime set out in Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 resulted in a number of achievements concerning selectivity and other measures to avoid catching cod, but it has become an obstacle to the implementation of the landing obligation, as it hampers further adaptation of fishing patterns, such as the choice of area and gear.
Leis an gcóras iarrachta iascaireachta a leagtar amach i Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1342/2008, baineadh amach spriocanna éagsúla maidir leis an roghnaíocht agus maidir le bearta eile chun gabháil troisc a sheachaint, ach is bacainn é anois ar an oibleagáid maidir le gabhálacha a thabhairt i dtír a chur chun feidhme ó tharla go gcuireann an córas sin bac ar phatrúin iascaireachta a chur in oiriúint tuilleadh, amhail i gcás an rogha limistéir agus trealaimh.
