Briefing - Impact of cormorant predation on EU fisheries and aquaculture - 20-01-2026

The great cormorant is a highly mobile, fish-eating bird that has a significant and widespread impact on fish stocks and aquaculture sites. Due to its predation impact, the cormorant was heavily persecuted in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but has been a protected species since the European Union Birds Directive came into force in 1979. Its population has grown significantly since then. While the bird cannot be hunted, the Birds Directive permits derogations to prevent serious damage to wild fish stocks and fish farms. These derogations are widely used by Member States, in a highly varied manner. The European Parliament called for the adoption of a European cormorant management plan in 2008, to minimise the increasing impact of cormorants on fish stocks, fishing and aquaculture. This request was reiterated in the Parliament's 2018 and 2022 resolutions on aquaculture. Similarly, at Council meetings in September and October 2025, several Member States urged the European Commission to coordinate EU-wide management of cormorant populations. Following recent discussions, the Commission held a structured dialogue with the Member States in October 2025. In this context, the Commission announced updated guidance on the use of derogations under the Birds Directive. In November 2025, the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission, an intergovernmental fisheries advisory body, published its final framework for a management plan as part of a project co-funded by the EU. The aim of this initiative is to maintain favourable conservation status for the cormorant while protecting fish species and aquaculture fish farms. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Study - Parental Child Abductions to Third Countries - 20-01-2026

Cross-border parental child abductions in the EU are governed by The 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and (except for Denmark) the Brussels II-ter Regulation. Countries outside of the EU may or may not be Contracting States to ‘the Convention’, but will not be bound by Brussels II-ter. Research has found that the often negative, long-lasting impact of abduction may continue throughout the lifecycle of those who have been abducted. It may also affect future generations of society. This means that every effort to deter abduction should be made. Where that is not possible, the 1980 Hague Child Abduction Convention should be nurtured to support its application in contemporary society. Specialist mediation should be encouraged in relation to international child abduction generally, and specifically in relation to Third Countries which are not Contracting States to ‘the Convention’. This study was commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the JURI Committee. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
