  2. Important efforts have been made by Spanish fishing authorities since the accesion to the EU in 1986, in order to adjust the capacity of the fleet to the possibilities of fishing resources.

  3. THE FISHING SPANISH FLEET IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA Spanish authorities are currently working in improving the quality of data for the Fishing Fleet Register. For this purpose, a comprehensive review ship by ship is been carried out, since the last three years, in order to regularize the situation of a large number of small boats that had no obligation to do landing declarations. This process has resulted in the definitive exit from the census of many of them.
