Paragraph 2 a (new)

Paragraph 17 a (new)

Considers that the 2013 revision of the CMO in fisheries and aquaculture weakened the previous CMO and did away with some of the (few) regulation tools in place at the time and that the path it proposed turned out to be disastrous for many segments of the fleet, particularly the small-scale, coastal and artisanal fishing segments;

Paragraph 17 d (new)
17d. Takes, therefore, the view that the future revision of the CMO should include a 'management option' which would allow Member States, taking into account the specific situation and the level of development achieved by producer organisations in their territories, to choose between delegating management tasks to producer organisations or keeping essential decisions within the central administration, especially where necessary to guarantee the viability of the small-scale coastal and artisanal fishing sectors;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17 e (new)
Paragraph 17 e (new)
17e. Considers that the revision should include granting floor-rate financial compensation to help meet the costs of landing the entire quantity of unwanted catches in cases where the proceeds of sales would be insufficient to cover those costs, as well as granting floor-rate financial compensation to help meet the costs of biological rest periods at certain critical stages in the life cycle of species as a way to preserve fisheries resources and enable fish stocks to grow at a rate compatible with maintaining fishing activity outside the rest periods;
