Abstract
  • Impact assessments (IA) are a requirement for all new European Union regulations. A central part is the analysis of social and economic impacts. For fisheries regulation the European Commission is responsible to provide the IA to a board within the EC. They are not doing the analytical assessments and data collection. A framework contract was issued for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) IA. For the analysis of the long-term management plans the Commission requests the background work from the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), the scientific advisory committee of the EC. The IAs are part of the policy development process for some time and we can draw some conclusions on their influence on decisions.The elaboration of improvements of IA methods and the analysis of measures of the revised CFP were part of the EU FP 7 Project SOCIOEC. The project finished in February 2015 and the results are now available. In addition there were other European research projects with work on the improvement of e.g. the analytical assessments of impacts of some measures of the CFP. In the paper we will, first, briefly describe the IA process in the EU and then will, secondly, analyse in which ways the improvement of the methodology can contribute to the improvement of fisheries management measures. In a third part we will describe some results from various research projects to give a short overview of where we are regarding the availability of tools for assessments of especially economic impacts.
