Long Distance Fleet Regional Advisory Council (LDRAC)

The Long Distance Fleet Regional Advisory Council (LDRAC), is the Advisory Council which deals with issues relative to fishing agreements with third countries and relations with the Regional Fisheries Organisations, that is to say, the exterior dimension of the Common Fisheries Policy. It was established in 2005 and consists of a General Assembly, an Executive Committee and five Working Groups. KFO is represented by Sean O’Donoghue on the Executive Committee, WG2 (Regional Fisheries Organisations and North Atlantic Agreements), WG4 (Bilateral Relations with Third Countries) and WG5 (Horizontal issues).

The work of the LDRAC is supported by a secretariat based in Madrid, Spain.
