Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 was, however, designed prior to the adoption of the new common fisheries policy. It should therefore be amended in order to better address the requirements for the control and enforcement of the common fisheries policy in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and to take advantage of modern and more cost- effective control technologies, low-cost control technologies which are easy for professionals to use.

Recital 5
(5) The definition of ‘rules of the common fisheries policy’ should be amended to clarify that its scope covers all Union law applicable in the fisheries sector, including rules on technical and conservation measures for marine biological resources, on management and control of Union fleets exploiting such resources, on the processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, the Union system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and international agreements concluded by the Union, since they involve imports of seafood and aquaculture products.

Recital 12
(12) Small scale fisheries play an important role in the Union, from a biological, economic and social perspective. Considering the possible impacts of small scale fisheries on stocks, it is important to control that fishing activities and fishing efforts of smaller vessels are in compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain position data of those vessels. Therefore, Member States should be able to track all fishing vessels, including fishing vessels which are less than 12 metres' in length, provided that the arrangements chosen are simple and inexpensive for professionals and are financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. For vessels 12 metres' in length it is now possible to use mobile devices which are less expensive and easy to use.

Recital 16
(16) The submission of catch registration data on paper formats has led to incomplete and unreliable reporting and ultimately to inadequate catch reporting by operators to Member States and by Member States to the Commission, and has hampered the exchange of information between Member States. It is therefore considered necessary that masters record data concerning catches in a digital way and submit them electronically, in particular the logbooks, transhipment declarations and landing declarations, provided that these digital and electronic systems are compatible with the fleet characteristics and are funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
Amendment 203 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) The absence of catch reporting obligations by masters of vessels less than 10 metres' length led to incomplete and unreliable data for such vessels as the data collection for those vessels was based on sampling plans. Therefore it is important to requirenvisaged that all fishing vessels without regard to their size reporting of catches for all fishing vessels without regard to their size, provided that the reporting system is simple and inexpensive for professionals and is financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. In this way the rules will also be simplified and compliance and controls will be improved.
Amendment 209 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) For vessels of 12 metres' in length or more, it is important that the information in the logbook is made more accurate and includes data on the catches by haul or by operation, as this will enhance the effectiveness of controls. In the case of vessels less than 12 metres' in length, the obligations pertaining to the completion and submission of the logbook should be simplified and masters should only be required to submit the information contained in logbook once, beforeno later than two hours after arrival at port.
Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) Provisions concerning the publication by the Commission of fisheries closures following the exhaustion of fishing quotas or maximum allowable fishing efforts should be simplified in order to allow a timely publication of such closures. Those provisions should furthermore be made consistent with the landing obligation laid in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.
Amendment 220 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) Provisions concerning the verification of the tonnage of fishing vessels for the purposes of fishing capacity controls should be simplified and provisions concerning the verification of engine power should be clarified. If fishing vessels equipped with active fishing gears operate with engines that exceed the engine power stated in their registration, it is impossible to ensure compliance with the capacity ceilings laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Therefore it is important to effectivelyenvisaged to control the engine power of fishing vessels equipped with active fishing gears, using devices which continuouslyto monitor the engine power that are inexpensive and easy for professionals to use and are funded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

Recital 30
Recital 30
(30) Recreational fisheries play an important role in the Union, both from a biological, economic and social perspective. Considering the significant impacts of the recreational fishing on certain stocks, it is necessary to provide for specific tools allowing an effective control of recreational fisheries by the Member States. A registration or licensing system should allow a precise census of physical and legal persons participating in recreational fisheries and the collection of reliable data on catches and practices. This system should remain simple and free for users. The collection of sufficient and reliable data on recreational fishing is necessary in order to evaluate the impact of such fishing practices on stocks and provide Member States and the Commission with the information necessary for an effective management and control of marine biological resources.
Amendment 229 #

Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) A number of specific conservation measures applicable to recreational fisheries has already been established under the common fisheries policy. The registration or licensing and catch registration systems should be simple and free for users and allow the effective control of those specific conservation measures.

Recital 36
Recital 36
(36) In line with Regulation (EU) No 931/2011 the traceability information relevant for the control of fishery and aquaculture products imported or produced in the Union should be available from the first sale until the retail stage. This will allow in particular that the information provided to the consumer concerning the species and the origin of the fishery or aquaculture product is accurate.

Recital 37
Recital 37
(37) The same rules should apply to fishery and aquaculture products imported from third countries and should be respected by all the international agreements concluded by the Union. In the case of imported products, the mandatory traceability information should include a reference to the catch certificate provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1005/200834. __________________ 34 Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, amending Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1936/2001 and (EC) No 601/2004 and repealing Regulations (EC) No 1093/94 and (EC) No 1447/1999 (OJ L 286, 29.10.2008, p. 1).

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39
Recital 39
(39) In the case of fishery products sold directly from fishing vessels to the consumers, rules pertaining to traceability, registered buyers, and sales notes do not apply to quantities below certain thresholds. Those thresholds should be harmonized and should be lowered in order to minimize the placing on the market of fishery products which cannot be traced and therefore cannot be controllsed.
Amendment 240 #

Recital 40
Recital 40
(40) In order to achieve the objectives of the common fisheries policy, the reliability and comprehensive collection of data on catches is of the utmost importance. In particular recording of catches at the time of landing should be carried out in the most reliable and inexpensive way possible. For that purpose, it is necessary to strengthen the procedures concerning the weighing of fishery products upon landing.
Amendment 243 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 43
Recital 43
(43) In order to improve controls and allow the rapid validation of catch registration data and the rapid exchange of information between Member States, it is necessary that all operators record data in a digital way, using a simple and inexpensive system financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, and submit that data electronically within 24 hours to Member States. This concerns, in particular, landing declarations, sales notes and take-over notes.
