Recital 23 a (new)
(23a) Taking into account their specific character and their status under Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and given the essential socio-economic importance of their fisheries and related activities and, moreover, their limited real fishing capacity resulting from the fact that they have, for the most part, small-scale artisanal and coastal fleets, the outermost regions should be treated more favourably as regards fishing opportunity limits where opportunities require the use of selective artisanal types of gear.
Amendment 229 #
Where scientific advice recommends that fishing opportunities be restricted, that restriction may be waived for small-scale artisanal and coastal fishing vessels of the outermost regions, which shall be allowed preferential access to, or made subject to a higher fishing opportunity limit for, highly migratory species in their exclusive economic zones. The Commission shall inform the European Parliament, before any decision is taken by the Council, about significant variations in fishing opportunities affecting the outermost regions.
Amendment 232 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 10 a (new)
Article 10 a (new)
Article 10a This Regulation must take into account the constraints related to the size of artisanal and coastal fishing vessels used in the outermost regions. The landing of by-catches, in so far as it does not exacerbate the impact on spawning stock biomass, shall accordingly be permitted.
