Abstract

     
The Commission claimed that Finland, between 1995 and 1996, had failed: (1) to enact appropriate detailed rules for the distribution and use of the fishing rights allocated to it; (2) to monitor compliance with Community legislation, including by appropriate inspection of the fishing fleet; (3) to prohibit fishing when the quotas allocated to it were deemed to be exhausted; and (4) to institute criminal or administrative proceedings against masters or other persons responsible for fishing after the prohibition came into effect, contrary to obligations in Community law (Regulation 3760/92 and Regulation 2847/93). The Court found that Finland had failed to meet its obligations on all counts.
