16 Landing Obligation vs legal and structural environment Problems Eliminates direct conflicts between LO and Technical & Conservation Measures Omnibus Regulation (2015/812 of 20 May 2015) Does not eliminate a number of redundant provisions

17 Landing Obligation vs legal and structural environment sorting on board Problems (not always possible) Missing infrastructure and logistics in ports / vessels??? who is in charge of landed discards? whose cost? what about small quantities (few boxes)? the Law, Industry and landing sites not prepared for LO implementation on 1 January 2015
