Amendment 84 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39
(39) The objective of the Common Fisheries Policy is to ensure a sustainable exploitation of fish stocks. Overcapacity has been identified as a major driver for overfishing. It is therefore paramount to adapt the Union fishing fleet to the resources available. TAs noted in the Green Paper, despite considerable sums of money spent over many years, the removal of overcapacity through public aid such as temporary or permanent cessation and scrapping schemes has proven ineffective. The EMFF will therefore support th and the EU fleets are establishment and management of systems of transferable fishing concessions aiming at the reduction of overcapacity and increased economic performance and profitability of the operators concernedill not of an appropriate size and composition for the resources available. EMFF funds must be used to support fishermen and vessels that fish in the most environmentally and socially sustainable way.
