The Common Fisheries Policy(CFP) is the European Union's instrument for the management of fisheries and aquaculture. The first common measures in the fishing sector date from 1970, when it was agreed that, in principle, EU fishermen should have equal access to Member States’ waters. However, in order to ensure that smaller vessels could continue to fish close to their home ports, a coastal band was reserved for local fishermen who have traditionally fished these areas. Measures were also adopted for a common market in fisheries products. A structural policy was set up to coordinate the modernisation of fishing vessels and on-shore installations.

La Politique Commune de la Pêche (PCP) est l'outil de gestion dont s'est dotée l'Union européenne pour aménager la pêche et l'aquaculture. Cette politique a été conçue afin de gérer une ressource commune et de respecter les obligations inscrites dans les premiers traités de ce qui était à l'époque la Communauté européenne. En raison de son caractère de ressource naturelle douée de mobilité, le poisson est considéré comme un bien commun. En outre, les traités ayant institué la Communauté reconnaissaient la nécessité d'une gestion commune dans ce domaine, à savoir, des règles communes adoptées au niveau de l'Union européenne et mises en œuvre dans tous les États membres.

OBS

The main threat so far to the recording industry, is that as each successive copy is identical to the original; there is no loss in quality no matter the generation of the copy. It was precisely for this reason that the recording industry so fervently opposed the introduction of DAT[ 2] technology in the late 1980s, and succeeded in the passage of the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. The issue of copying music onto a cassette did not cause much concern prior to the introduction of DAT as the cost of making copies was restricted by the price of cassette tapes-and each successive copy was of poorer quality than the last. There was little market for second-, third-, or fourth-generation scratchy home recordings.

OBS

The Audio Home Recording Act of 1992(AHRA) amended the United States copyright law by adding chapter 10 "Digital Audio Recording Devices and Media. "The act enabled the release of recordable digital formats such as Sony and Phillips’ Digital Audio Tape DAT without fear of contributory infringement lawsuits. The RIAA and music publishers, concerned that consumers ability to make perfect digital copies of music would destroy the market for audio recordings, had threatened to sue both companies and lobbied Congress to pass lesgislation imposing mandatory copy protection technology and royalties on devices and media. The AHRA is often overlooked, but it establishes a number of important precedents in US copyright law that that defined the debate between device makers and the content industry for the ensuing two decades.
