Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) The definition of "recreational fisheries" should include all non- commercial fisheries, irrespective of their specific purpose, in order to cover all forms of fisheries that may affect fish stocks and ecosystems, to ensure the impact and socio-economic value of such fishing is fully taken into consideration when managing fisheries.

Recital 10
(10) The definition of "end-users" should be aligned with the definition of "end-users of scientific data" appearing in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and cover also scientific bodies and not-for-profit organisations with an interest in the environmental aspects of fisheries management.
Amendment 73 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Data needs by end-users should be identified and it should be specified which data have to be collected under this Regulation. Those data should include ecosystem data related to the impact of fisheries and data on the sustainability of aquaculture. To simplify and minimise the administrative burden, it is also necessary to ensure that data collected under this Regulation are not also collected under other EU legislation.

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) In view of the objective ofGiven that the Common Fisheries Policy to give more responsibility to Member States and to better involve end-users in data collection, regional co-ordination should be expanded from one single meeting into a continuous process coordinated by Regional Co-ordination Groups for each marine regionattaches particular importance to the collection and transmission of data so that fisheries management can be based on the best available scientific knowledge, it is vital that clear, reliable, accurate data be collected on fleets and their fishing activities, their environmental impact and their discards, in line with proper standardised statistical principles, and so that firms in the fisheries sector can be analysed from an economic standpoint.

(21a) Fish stock assessments that are fundamental for scientific advice on sustainable catch levels depend on quality data. However, data are often the product of incomplete and inaccurate reporting, due inter alia to IUU fishing and some catches from recreational fisheries not being included in the assessments.
Amendment 82 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 21 b (new)
Recital 21 b (new)
(21b) there is a need for data collection on by-catch of protected species, including sea birds, marine mammals and turtles, and on the impact of fisheries on habitats, vulnerable marine areas and the ecosystem in order to ensure the proper implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
Amendment 85 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) Member States should determine the way they collect data, but in order to be able to combine data on a regional level in a meaningful way, minimum requirements for data quality, coverage and compatibility should be agreed by Member States at regUnional level. When there is general agreement on the methods at regUnional level, Regional Co- ordination Groups should submit a regional work plan on the basis of that agreement for adoption by Commission.
Amendment 88 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) Union legislation should no longer determine the precise details of methodologies to be applied in collecting data. Provisions on particular methods of data collection should therefore be replaced by the description of the process by which they will be determined. That process should be in accordance to Union minimum requirements for data quality, coverage and compatibility and essentially include cooperation between Member States and data users in regional co- ordination groups, and validation by the Commission through work plans submitted by Member States.

Recital 28
(28) There is a need to ensure that end- users are provided with data within relatively short deadlines,quickly and in a standardised form, with clear codification systems, so that they can send a rapid response as they need to provide timely advice to enable sustainable fisheries. Other interested parties should also be assured to receive data within a certain deadline.

(30b) To raise the profile of women in the fisheries sector, the gender variable should be taken into account in the collection of data on natural persons, in particular the data listed under Article 5(2) (d), (e) and (f) of this Regulation on the socio-economic aspects of fisheries, aquaculture and the processing of fisheries products.
