Title
Moving forward on EU measures for proper waste management of fishing gear

On 26 February 2019 DG MARE organized an informal meeting with Brussels-based plastic producers to answer questions about upcoming legislation in order to understand their experience on challenges, solutions and best practices on recycling of fishing gears (including different components) and listen to their views and suggestions on the move towards circular use of end of life fishing gear.
