The law initiates a reform in the fishing industry, will contribute to its restoration, overcoming corruption schemes and increasing revenues to the budgets of local communities.
The law provides for the creation of a single state electronic management system for the “eRyba” industry in order to digitise the industry; introduction of the mechanism for issuing permit documents in electronic form; providing all fishing vessels with means of remote control; establishment of legislative requirements for fish reception points as a significant lever for accounting of caught aquatic biological resources and products from them, etc.
In particular, with the adoption of the Law, electronic auctions for the right to commercial fishing, which were previously conducted as a government experiment, will become fully operational. A transparent bidding mechanism will create a level playing field for economic competition and ensure equal access to fishing for new business entities.
In general, the implementation of this Law will create conditions for the development of the fishing industry, stimulation of the fight against illegal, unaccountable and unregulated fishing and will ensure the possibility of European integration of legal norms related to the industry.
