Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(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 restored and maintained at levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015, wherever possible and tailored to each fishery. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.

Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) An ecosystem and maritime spatial planning based approach to fisheries management needs to be implemented, environmental impacts ofthe impacts of non-sustainable fishing activities should be limited, pollution and the negative impact of urban development and tourism on the marine environment should be reduced and unwanted catches should be minimised and progressively eliminated.
Amendment 292 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) It is important that the management of the Common Fisheries Policy is guided by principles of good governance. Those principles include decision-making based on best available scientific advice, broad stakeholder involvement in shared management and shared responsibility and a long-term perspective. The successful management of the Common Fisheries Policy also depends on a clear definition of responsibilities at Union, national, regional and local levels and on the mutual compatibility and consistency of the measures taken with other Union policies.
Amendment 296 #

Recital 11 a (new)
Recital 11 a (new)
(11a) The Common Fisheries Policy should recognize, value and protect the role of women in fishing, both in activities dependent on small-scale coastal fishing and shellfishing, such as making and repairing fishing nets, processing and marketing activities, and in other activities providing logistical support to the fisheries sector, ensuring compliance with the principle of equality between men and women.
Amendment 308 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) Rules in place restricting access to resources within the 12 nautical mile zones of Member States have operated satisfactorily benefiting conservation by restricting fishing effort in the most sensitive part of Union waters. Those rules have also preserved traditional fishing activities on which the social and economic development of certain coastal communities is highly dependent. Those rules should therefore continue to apply, reserving the 12 nautical miles for small- scale fishing in areas where this is possible.
Amendment 325 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) The objective of sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources is more effectively achieved through a multi-annual approach to fisheries management, establishing as a priority multi-annual plans reflecting the biological specificities of different fisheriespecies and the special characteristics of each fishery. In order to develop the management plans, it is essential first of all to compile an atlas of existing fisheries that identifies these and existing fishing areas; an inventory then needs to be drawn up of existing management systems and the last step is to define the specific management units in order to produce final management plans.
Amendment 371 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22
Recital 22
(22) In view of the precarious economic state of the fishing industry and the dependence of certain coastal communities on fishing activities, it is necessary to ensure the relative stability of fishing activities by allocating fishing opportunities among Member States, based on a predictable share of stocks for each Member Statand the fact that the principle of relative stability has caused a significant discrepancy between the quotas allocated to the Member States and the actual needs and uses of their fleets, making it inappropriate for the allocation of fisheries at present, and thus provides no guarantee that fishing rights still belong to the corresponding coastal communities, it is necessary to abolish the principle of relative stability since it has lost its original meaning and should not prevail over the provisions of the Treaties, in order to avoid harming Member States that are discriminated against by the application of this principle.
Amendment 376 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) Member States should be in a position to present substantiated requests to the Commission to draw up measures under the Common Fisheries Policy for measures identified by Member States as necessary to comply with obligations as regards Special Protection Areas pursuant to Article 4 of Council Directive 2009/147/EC of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds, Special Areas of Conservation pursuant to Article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora and marine protected areas pursuant to Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive). The creation of a ‘Network of Marine Protected Areas’ will be proposed at European level for adoption on the basis of the intensity of fishing effort and the vulnerability of the species considered, as well as consistency with the different uses of the marine environment.
Amendment 379 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
Recital 25
(25) The Commission should be able to adopt temporary measures in the event of a serious threat, requiring immediate action, to the conservation of marine biological resources or to the marine ecosystem resulting from overfishing activities, the impact of certain urban projects on the marine environment, and pollution and climate effects. Should fishing activity be suspended or abandoned as a result of any of these temporary measures, social plans should be in place to compensate operators or encourage them to continue, as a priority measure, across the whole production process in the fishing sector.
Amendment 409 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29
Recital 29
(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 2013on a voluntary basis for all vessels of 125 meteres’ length or over and all other vessels fishing with towed gears. Member States may exclude vessels up to 125 meteres’ 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.

Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) SThe specific characteristics and socio- economic vulnerability of some small-scale fleets justify the limitation of the mandatory system of transferable fishing concessions to large vessels. The system of transferable fishing concessions should apply to stocks for which fishing opportunities are allocatedisheries and shellfishing justify their exclusion from the system of transferable fishing concessions and the need to lay down differentiated arrangements for small-scale fishing and shellfishing. To that end, the future financial instrument should earmark a specific percentage for small-scale fisheries, shellfishing, and extensive aquaculture, and a specific support programme should be established for small-scale fisheries, aimed at coastal communities which depend on fishing and giving priority, as regards access to the resources concerned, to those who fish and gather shellfish in the environmentally and socially most sustainable way.
Amendment 466 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 34
Recital 34
(34) Fisheries management based on the best available scientific advice requires harmonised, reliable and accurate data sets. Therefore Member sStates should collect data on fleets and their fishing activities, in particular biological data on catches, including discards, survey information on fish stocks and on the potential environmental impact of fishing activities on the marine ecosystemand make them available to end-users and the general public.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39
Recital 39
(39) Sustainable fisheries agreements concluded with third countries should ensure that Union fishing activities in third country waters are based on the best available scientific advice, ensuring a sustainable exploitation of the marine biological resources. Those agreements, which provide for access rights in exchange for a financial contribution from the Union, should contribute to the establishment of a high -quality governance framework to ensure in particular efficient monitoring, control and surveillance measures, as well as co-development, pursued jointly with third countries, and the economic viability of the European fleet.
