BACKGROUND: since the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2019/833 of the European Parliament and of the Council, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) has adopted, at its 41st annual meeting, a number of legally binding decisions for the conservation of the fishery resources under its purview.
