Towards a sustainable fisheries policy in Europe

The reform of the European Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in 2013 decides whether the European fisheries can be put on a sustainable course in the next 10 years. The CFP reform must halt overexploitation of fish resources and stop harm to the marine environment by fishing activities. The European Commission published a reform proposal just recently. This proposal is already an important first step in the right direction, but is under threat of being watered down by the Fisheries Council. Necessary improvements of the current CFP include among others a binding definition of a sustainable stock management, a discard ban for all fish species, transferable fishing concessions and a cessation of all aid for building new vessels. These modifications pave the way for placing micromanagement in the hands of regions and fisheries so as to foster self‐responsibility among fishers and give greater consideration to regional circumstances.     

环境规制对产能过剩及产业结构调整的影响分析

以2009-2017年中国各省市(自治区)面板数据为样本,实证分析环境规制对产能过剩和产业结构调整的影响.结果表明:环境规制对产能过剩和产业结构调整影响显著,较高的环境规制会加重产能过剩,而适度的环境规制会优化产业结构;该文还发现在规模以上工业企业中,产业结构在环境规制与产能过剩间具有中介效应,而在国有控股和外资港澳台企业中,产业结构对产能过剩影响不显著.
