The North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) was established, in its current form, in 1980, by the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in North-East Atlantic Fisheries. The first regional fisheries organization in the Northeast Atlantic, however, was the Permanent Commission established under the terms of the 1946 Convention for the Regulation of Meshes of Fishing Nets and the Size Limits of Fish. That Convention only allowed for a limited range of powers, however, and in 1959 a new Convention was concluded, establishing the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission with wider powers than the Permanent Commission. NEAFC was effectively reborn in 1980, however, following the general extension of fishery limits to 200 miles and after seven EC member countries denounced the 1959 Convention and withdrew from the Commission. 3, record 1, English, - North%2DEast%20Atlantic%20Fisheries%20Commission
