The implementation of the FAR also revealed several loopholes, since some challenges in terms of control, such as chartering, reflagging and the issuance of fishing authorisations issued by a third-country competent authority to a Union fishing vessel outside the framework of an SFPA (‘direct authorisations’), were not covered.
Nuair a bhí FAR á chur chun feidhme, ba léir freisin go raibh roinnt easnamh ann sa mhéid is nár cumhdaíodh dúshláin áirithe maidir le rialú, amhail cairtfhostú, soithí a aistriú go clár loingseoireachta tíre eile agus údaruithe iascaireachta a eisíonn údarás inniúil tríú tír do shoitheach iascaireachta de chuid an Aontais nach dtagann faoi chuimsiú SFPA (“údaruithe díreacha”) a eisiúint.
