I propose to take Questions Nos. 85 and 86 together.

Legislative matters in relation to fisheries policy in the European Union are under the sole remit and competence of the EU and its related institutions. Recognition of fisheries producer organisations in the EU is therefore governed by relevant EU legislation- (1) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, on the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and (2) Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the common organisation of the markets (CMO) in fishery and aquaculture products.
