(12) It is appropriate to establish the target fishing mortality (F) that corresponds to the objective of reaching and maintaining MSY as ranges of values which are consistent with achieving maximum sustainable yield (FMSY). Those ranges, based on scientific advice, are necessary in order to provide flexibility to take account of developments in the scientific advice, to contribute to the implementation of the landing obligation and to take into account the characteristics of mixed fisheries, where ‘choke species’ may occur when the quota for the stock with the lowest catch limit is exhausted, preventing fishing for other species and giving rise to serious socio-economic consequences for the fleet. The FMSY ranges have been calculated by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and are derived to deliver no more than a 5% reduction in long-term yield compared to MSY40 . The upper limit of the range is capped, so that the probability of the stock falling below Blim or Abundancelimit is no more than 5%. That upper limit also conforms to the ICES “advice rule”41 , which indicates that when the spawning biomass or abundance is in a poor state, F be reduced to a value that does not exceed an upper limit equal to the FMSY point value multiplied by the spawning biomass or abundance in the TAC year divided by MSY Btrigger or Abundancelimit. ICES uses these considerations and advice rule in its provision of scientific advice on fishing mortality and catch options. _________________ 40 EU request to ICES to provide FMSY ranges for selected North Sea and Baltic Sea stocks 41 General context of ICES advice, July 2015.
Amendment 170 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 3 – paragraph 3
Article 3 – paragraph 3
3. The plan shall implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in order to ensure that negative impacts of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem are minimised while also taking account of the survival of fishermen and fisherwomen; if this ecosystem-based fisheries management jeopardises jobs in the sector, other measures designed to mitigate adverse socio-economic impacts must be adopted in parallel, and continue until fishing activity can be fully restored. It shall be coherent with Union environmental legislation, in particular with the objective of achieving good environmental status by 2020 as set out in Article 1(1) of Directive 2008/56/EC.

Article 4 – paragraph 4 – point c a (new)
Article 4 – paragraph 4 – point c a (new)
(ca) in order to take account of mortality caused by other activities, given that mortality in fish is also influenced by other factors such as pollution deriving from activities carried out on land and on the sea bed, and it should therefore be ensured that the burden of stock recovery measures does not fall exclusively on fishermen and fisherwomen.
