2. CONTROL POLICY COURT OF AUDITORS REPORT

3. Registration and validation of catch data  NATIONAL CATCH REGISTRATION SYSTEMS HAVE NUMEROUS SHORTCOMINGS  INCOMPLETE AND UNRELIABLE DATA

4. Consequences COMMISSION UNABLE TO:  IDENTIFY ERRORS AND ANOMALIES  TAKE NECESSARY DECISIONS IN DUE TIME

5. CONTROL  INSPECTION SYSTEMS DO NOT GUARANTEE EFFICIENT PREVENTION OR DETECTION  LEGAL BASIS IS INCOMPLETE AND NOT APPLIED BY MS  ABSENCE OF GENERAL CONTROL STANDARDS  MS DO NOT MAKE OPTIMAL USE OF INSPECTION ACTIVITES

6. RESULT  LIMITED CAPACITY OF THE COMMISSION TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION IN THE MS  INEFFICIENT AND INSUFFICIENT CONTROLS  INFRINGEMENT CULTURE IN THE SECTOR AND IN THE ADMINISTRATIONS AND IN THE ADMINISTRATIONS  PUTS THE CFP INTO QUESTION

7. INFRINGEMENTS  FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT SANCTIONS ARE IMPOSED  NON-EXISTENT OR NOT VERY DISSUASIVE SANCTIONS  ONLY PROCEDURE "ACTION IN EVENT OF FAILURE": LONG AND NOT VERY EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE MS & COM

8. CONCLUSION  FAILURE OF CONTROL POLICY  POLITICAL FAILURE OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT  HEAVY CONSEQUENCES FOR THE FUTURE OF THE RESOURCE, THE INDUSTRY AND DEPENDENT REGIONS

9. RECOMMENDATIONS  STRENGTHEN THE CONTROL, INSPECTION AND SANCTION SYSTEMS  IMPROVE THE COLLECTION, ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF BASIC DATA  GUARANTEE GLOBAL CONTROL PRESSURE  PUT DISUASIVE SANCTIONS IN PLACE  ESTABLISH GENERAL STANDARDS OF CONTROL  REINFORCE THE CAPACITY AND POWERS OF THE COMMISSION  STRENGTHEN THE POWERS OF COMMISSION INSPECTORS  POWER TO SUSPEND PAYMENTS OF COMMUNITY AID  BROADEN THE MANDATE OF THE AGENCY
