Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the CFP recognises that access to fishing opportunities should be distributed primarily among small-scale non-industrial fishermen, or those in small coastal areas, and should include incentives (Article 7(1)(d) of the CFP regulation) in order to promote more selective fishing techniques which have a lower impact on the marine ecosystem and fishery resources; notes that, for this reason, efforts should be made in this direction, to ensure that incentives and preferential access to coastal fishing areas are given to the small-scale (artisanal) fleet as opposed to those fisheries segments that are not selective and have a greater impact; stresses the importance of consulting the coastal communities concerned;

Paragraph 8
8. Considers it feasible to introduce non-transferable quotas, especially for species subject to single-species fisheries; is of the view that, to avoid social inequalities, fishing opportunities should be allocated using objective and transparent criteria, including environmental, social and economic criteria, and should also be fairly distributed within the various fisheries segments, including traditional andwith a particular emphasis on increasing quotas for small- scale fishing; is of the view, in addition, that incentives should be provided for fleets to use more selective fishing equipment and techniques that have a reduced impact on the marine environment, in keeping with Article 17 of the CFP regulation;
