Some claimed this was exacerbated by EU fishing industry grants, which were seen as a good way to promote regional development. The 2002 review withdrew the grants allocated to build new boats and provided incentives for decommissioning existing vessels. Recovery plans were also adopted in relation to specific threatened species, while management plans were implemented for some other stocks. In addition, a Compliance Scoreboard was published for member states and a code of conduct for responsible fishing was developed.
