Aa. whereas the EU should play a significant role in safeguarding the health and sustainability of our oceans and seas by keeping them clean from (micro)plastics and forever chemicals like PFAS, since they have an enormous impact on sea life and thus on marine ecosystems which we all depend on;
Amendment 148 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Regrets the lack of coherence between the title of the action plan and the proposals presented therein, which mainly focus on altering the fishing practices that affect species and habitats without addressing the potential for alignment between fishing techniques and practices and the protection or restoration of ecosystems; recalls the need for fishers to be part of the solution, instead of being put forward as cause.
Amendment 151 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. considers that our oceans, seas and marine life suffer from (micro)plastics; is of the opinion therefore that the EU should stimulate scientific research on the transition towards plastic- free and/or biodegradable fishing gear and on the reduction of plastic fish lint; further considers that it is essential that this happens in a holistic and coherent approach taking into account other EU policies and research projects;
Amendment 216 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Believes that this surplus of more or less short-term actions detracts from the coherence and legitimacy of initiatives that should be the subject of a consensus, taking into account socio-economic, technical and scientific aspects; reiterates that actions supported by these considerations will have a positive effect on their implementation;

11. Notes the lack of perspective on the consequences of certain aspects of the action plan, which was published without waiting, for instance, for scientific and socio-economic conclusions on previous proposals; notes that these actions can have a severe impact on the trust of fishers and fisheries communities in (European) policy- and decision-making processes;

Paragraph 24 a (new)
24a. Supports the Commission's proposals on the need and support for sufficient possibilities for scientific research and innovation projects since science plays a crucial role in finding solutions for the problems we face today; stresses the need to apply these in a coherent way with other EU policies, pilot projects and scientific projects dealing with innovation and research, for example on reducing the use of (micro)plastics; recalls that possibilities for scientific research and innovation projects is especially necessary to find more sustainable fishing techniques, since at this moment no viable alternatives for bottom trawling are available;
