Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
(17) The objective of the plan provided for in this Regulation should be to contribute to the achievementachieve the objectives of the CFP, and in particular, reachstoring and maintaining MSY for the targetfish stocks above levels of biomass capable of producing MSY for all stocks, implementing the landing obligation for demersal stocks subject to minimum conservation reference size, and promoting a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing activities, bearing in mind coastal fisheries and socio-economic aspects. It should also implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in order to minimisby reducing, and when possible eliminating, the negative impaeffects of fishing activities oin the marine ecosystem. It should be coherent with the Union’s environmental legislation, in particular the objective of achieving good environmental status by 2020 (in accordance withnvironment. That plan should also contribute to the achievement of good environmental status, as laid down in Directive 2008/56/EC28 ) and the objectives of Directive 2009/147/EC29 and Council Directive 92/43/EEC30 . _________________ 28 Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) (OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19) 29 Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds (OJ L 20, 26.1.2010, p. 7). 30o the achievement of favourable conservation status for habitats and species as required by Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council 29 and the Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7)30 respectively.

Recital 26
(26) Where scientific advice shows that the fishing effort regime is not sufficient to meet the objectives or targets of the plan provided for in this Regulation, management measures based on total allowable catchecatch limits should be introduced in order to complement the effort regime.

Amendment 140 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 3
3. This Regulation shall apply to by- catch stocks caught in the western Mediterranean Sea when fishing for the stocks referred to in paragraph 1 and shall ensure that exploitation of all living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield, in line with article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

This shall include implementing scaring devices on-board vessels, setting the nets at night, shielding hooks until a predetermined depth, and increasing the sink rate of the hooks for all longline vessels in order to protect seabirds. 3. Spatial measures shall be applied in the western Mediterranean Sea where scientific research has identified areas where sensitive species are known to be incidentally caught until these can be replaced with other technical measures. 4.Where Member States do not implement management measures to protect species and habitats in the western Mediterranean Sea from the negative impact of fishing operations, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts as provided in article 13 of this Regulation.
