Recital 18
(18) Measures are needed to reduce and eliminate as much as possible the current high levels of unwanted catches anin order to avoid discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. An obligation for single species fisheries to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established and gradually implemented. For mixed fisheries in which elimination of unwanted catches and the implementation of an obligation to land all catches is not possible, the progressive reduction of unwanted catches and discards shall be the objective.
