3. Stresses that the CFP also contributes to social cohesion in outermost regions and offshore islands; points out that in some cases those regions and islands are dependent on fishing and should therefore be especially recognised and supported in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as are regions that suffer from severe and permanent natural or demographic handicaps, in accordance with Article 174 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7.

Paragraph 11
11. Points out that the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) can only perform its role if provided with sufficient technical, economic and financial resources; calls on the Commission to ensure sufficient funding for the appropriations devoted to the EFCA in order to enable it to fulfil its new tasks attributed to it inunder the reformed common fisheries policy and the proposal on a European Border and Coast Guard package; recalls the need to exempt all posts of agencies dealing with the migration crisis from the 5 % staff reduction target.
