Brief description of progress (measurement of effectiveness of measure)
In het kader van het ‘Vistraject’ (een duurzaamheidstraject voor de Belgische visserijsector) werd een voorstel voor een ministerieel besluit geformuleerd t.a.v. het bevoegde kabinet. Hierin komen zowel technische maatregelen als procedurele maatregelen aan bod om de omschakeling van recreatieve visser naar commerciële visser te vereenvoudigen. Het voorstel krijgt echter niet de nodige aandacht van de bevoegde beleidspersonen.
