Projects
European fisheries law projects

Ocean Law is currently engaged in a number of projects concerning EU fisheries law.

1. European Union Fisheries Law (Oxford University Press)

Ocean Law Director, Chris Hedley, has been commissioned by Oxford University Press to write a practitioner textbook on EU Fisheries Law, which will also form a corresponding contribution to a major loose-leaf publication on EU law. The book is scheduled for publication in 2009. Further information on the project is contained in News Release 2007/1.

2. European Union International Fisheries Agreements

Ocean Law is currently undertaking a major study of the EU's international fisheries agreements, providing an analysis of the history and development of the EU's bilateral fisheries relations and an analysis of the current fisheries partnership agreements in light of fisheries management, environmental and development objectives. The research is expected to lead to several publications, including a book which is expected to be completed in 2009/2010.

3. European Commission Framework Contract on FPAs

Ocean Law is participating, as part of an international consortium led by MegaPesca (Portugal) and Oceanic Développement (France), in a European Commission Framework Contract to evaluate its fisheries partnership agreements (FPAs) with third countries and examine other international fisheries issues. For more information, see Ocean Law's News Releases on the project: 2006/3 - 2007/6.
