"The Common Fisheries Policy" published on by Oxford University Press.

"This book will provide an analysis of how a public EU policy will face the challenges of the future. Beyond the interest to people involved in fisheries management, the book is an analysis of how a public EU policy should be evaluated, implemented and reformed. The book analyses the challenges for the implementation of the EU's Common Fisheries Policy, including the application of the new policy objectives of the 2013 policy reform as well as the challenges of the policy in a very changing world, including global warming, pollution, Brexit and other global drivers. The book uses largely comparisons with other fisheries policy, and particularly with the US fisheries policy under the Magnusson-Stevens Act. The benefits of the book are mainly the opportunity to address and discuss publicly such challenges that are not currently in the public domain, and to do so on the basis of the knowledge and experience of an insider with 30 years of experience in the policy. The Common fisheries Policy (CFP) is one of the only 5 policies of exclusive competence of the EU. For this reason, writing about the CFP is not just writing about fisheries, it is about a highly integrated EU policy and this implies an interest that goes far beyond fisheries management. The author's earlier book "The Common Fisheries Policy: The Quest for Sustainability" (published in 2016) explained the history of this important EU policy from the start of its last reform in 2013. Now the policy is at a crossroads, in terms of the very difficult implementation of the 2013 reform, the new emerging challenges in fisheries management around the world, and the likely effects of Brexit. All these factors make it necessary to reflect on the present implementation of the policy and its future development to face the above challenges"--

The main focus of this book is a review of how the Common Fisheries Policy is enforced throughout the Community, with a discussion of its successes and failures. Topics include the various rules and policies to be enforced; the enforcement authorities in the Member States and their activities and strategies; the role of the Commission and its approach to enforcement; new developments in fisheries control; the costs of enforcement; and problem fisheries and non compliance generally.

The article examines the impact of the Сommon Fisheries Policy of the European Union (CFP) on the UK's withdrawal from the EU. On the one hand, the article explains the reasons for the appearance of an economically insignificant fishing issue on the forefront of the British domestic political agenda on the eve of Brexit. On the other hand, it sheds light on the factor of the CFP in the negotiations on Britain's withdrawal from the EU and the subsequent Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) between the parties. Also, the author elaborates on the role of fishing communities in the Brexit vote, as well as on the factors that shaped the bargaining positions and strategies of the parties in the Brexit negotiations with regards to the CFP. The article focuses on institutional and political-economic features of the CFP that determined the final agreement in terms of fisheries. Despite a few concessions from Brussels and the transfer of a quarter of the European proportion of the catch to fishermen of the United Kingdom during the transition period, the Agreement does not involve fundamental changes in the UK's fisheries policy and the cooperation with the EU. The final deal reflects the interdependence of the partners, the Europeanization of the fisheries management, and preserves preferential access to British waters for European fishermen.
