Given the example provided by the relevance of the measures recommended to the flag States by the NEAFC for waters beyond national jurisdiction, there is no reason for the coastal States in the NEAFC regulated area not to apply these measures in their own waters. It is therefore appropriate to provide that the measures recommended by NEAFC to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems in deep water against the adverse effects of bottom fishing gears shall apply 'mutatis mutandis' in EU waters, instead of any other modality.

(4) In order to maintain necessary reductions in fishing capacity achieved so far in deep-sea fisheries, and to focus management measures on the most relevant part of the fleet for deep sea fisheries, it is appropriate to provide that fishing for deep-sea species is subject to a fishing authorisation which limits the capacity of vessels eligible to land deep-sea species. With a viewfish deep-sea species in a targeted manner. It is however necessary that fishing licenses are also delivered for bycatch fishing of deep-sea species, considering that all these fishing activities are likely to focus management measures on the part of the fleet most relevant for deep-sea fisheries, the fishing authorisations should be issued according to target or by- catch fisherycur in areas where deep water vulnerable marine ecosystems may be present, and that they should be protected against the adverse effects that may have these activities, including those using bottom gears. However, the Council and Parliament Regulation (EU) No xxx/2013 from xxx 2013 on the common fisheries policy defines a goal of eliminating discards that also apply to deep-sea species. The novelty of this new requirement should be taken into account so that vessels incidentally capturing deep-sea species and which are not currently subjected to a licensing regime for fishing, are not totally deprived of the opportunity to continue their traditional fishing activities.

(5) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002, the Union and its Member States committed to act against the continued decline of many fish stocks. Therefore, the Union should improve its Common Fisheries Policy to ensure that as a matter of priority exploitation levels of marine biological resources stocks are, where possible, restored and maintained at levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.

(14a) The definition of small-scale fishing needs to be widened to take account of a range of criteria in addition to boat size, including, inter alia, the prevailing weather conditions, the impact of fishing techniques on the marine ecosystem, time spent at sea and the characteristics of the economic unit exploiting the resource. Small offshore islands which are dependent on fishing should be especially recognised and supported both in terms of additional resource allocation, and financially, to enable their future survival and prosperity.

(18) Measures are needed to reduce and eliminate the current high levels of unwanted catches and discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resour with increased and improved techniques for avoidances and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established and gradually implementedinimisation of unwanted species. Such practices must be supported by realistic incentives at all levels.

(29) A system of transferable fishing concessions for the majority of managed stocks under the Common Fisheries Policy shouldmay be implemented no later than 31 December 2013 for all vessels of 12 meters' length or over and all other vessels fishing with towed gears. Member States may exclude vessels up to 12 meters' length other than vessels using towed gear from transferable fishing concessions. Such a system should contribute to industry- induced fleet reductions and improved economic performance while at the same time creating legally secure and exclusive transferable fishing concession of a Member State's annual fishing opportunities. Since marine biological resources are a common good, transferable fishing concessions should only establish user entitlements to a Member State's part of annual fishing opportunities which may be recalled according to established rules.

31. Maintains that the management system for the fisheries sector has to abandon the traditional top-down approach, laying emphasis instead on the principle of regionalisation and subsidiarity (horizontal decentralisation) and the participation of professionals in the sector, taking into account the multifarious specific features of the Community fleet; firmly rejects any attempt to adopt a universal Community fisheries management model, in a form serving to impose uniformitytop down, command and control management model, that has characterised the CFP to date, has itself proven to be a major obstacle to the achievement of the CFP's objectives; this rigid and inflexible approach should be replaced with a decentralising system of decision making to the lowest practical level. In the first instance this should, within an overall system overseen by the European institutions, involve the transfer of management responsibilities to the Member States level;

Paragraph 32
Paragraph 32
32. Urges the Commission to carefully explore the possibility of adopting new fisheries management mechanisms, as opposed to the TAC and quota system, for example fishing effort management and the use of transferable fishing rights, since such arrangements would enable the fleet to be adapted in a more flexible way, in line with the actual diversity and distribution of stocks, and could be supported by structural implementing measures, without neglecting the more vulnerable small-scale sector; urges the Commission to explore what changes should be adopted to the principle of relative stability and in particular how coastal communities highly dependent on fisheries can be given preference in the share out of fisheries resources;
