Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4

(4) The objectives of the CFP are, amongst others, to ensure that fishing and aquaculture are environmentally sustainable in the long-term, to apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management to ensure that stocks of harvested species are restored and maintained at levels above those that can produce MSY, and to implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management.

(6a) Since recreational fisheries can have a significant effect on fish resources, allowance must be made in this plan for expected recreational catches when setting total allowable catches for the commercial fishery.

(10) The objective of this plan should be to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the CFP, and especially reaching and maintaining MSY for the stocks concerned, contributing to the implementation of the landing obligation for demersal stocks subject to catch limits and contributing to the implementation of the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries managementensuring that stocks of harvested species are restored and maintained above levels capable of producing MSY.

(12) It is appropriate to establish the target fishing mortality (F) that ~~corresponds to the objective of reaching and maintaining MSY~~should be limited to as ranges of values ~~which are consistent with achieving maximum sustainable yield (F~~below FMSY in order to ensure populations are maintained above levels that can produce MSY). Th~~ose~~at ranges, based on scientific advice, ~~are~~is 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. The ~~FMSY ranges have~~value of FMSY has 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. _________________ 40EU request to ICES to provide FMSY ranges for selected North Sea and Baltic Sea stocks 41General context of ICES advice, July 2015.

Recital 13

(13) For the purposes of fixing fishing opportunities, there should be an upper threshold for FMSY ranges in normal use and, provided that the stock concerned is considered to be in a good state, an upper limit for certain cases. It should only be possible to fix fishing opportunities up to the upper limit if, on the basis of scientific advice or evidence, it is necessary for the achievement of the objectives laid down in this Regulation in mixed fisheries or necessary to avoid harm to a stock caused by intra- or inter-species stock dynamics, or in order to limit the year-to-year variations in fishing opportunities.deleted

4. Notwithstanding paragraphs 2 and 3, fishing opportunities for a stock may be fixed in accordance with the fishing mortality ranges set out in Annex I, column B, provided that the stock concerned is above the minimum spawning biomass reference point set out in Annex II, column A: (a) if, on the basis of scientific advice or evidence, it is necessary for the achievement of the objectives laid down in Article 3 in the case of mixed fisheries; (b) if, on the basis of scientific advice or evidence, it is necessary to avoid serious harm to a stock caused by intra- or inter- species stock dynamics; or (c) in order to limit variations in fishing opportunities between consecutive years to not more than 20%.deleted

Article 10 a Recreational fisheries When setting fishing opportunities, account shall be taken of recreational fisheries. This shall be done by: (a) deducting the estimate, derived from the best available data, of recent catches by recreational fisheries from the scientific advice on fishing opportunities corresponding to the target fishing mortality; (b) imposing restrictions on recreational fisheries such as daily bag limits, closed seasons, etc.; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
