The current EU MAP will not expire on a set date, hence the validity period of the national work plans should be laid down in this Decision. The first national work plans submitted in accordance with this Decision should cover a period of three to six years starting from 1 January 2022, to provide necessary stability of data collection. The application period of single or successive national work plans should not exceed 31 December 2027, to align with the programming period of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 establishing the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fundnote.
