Motion for a resolution

J. whereas, despite the significant progress made following the revision of the CFP in 2002, serious problems relating to fleet overcapacity and the scarcity of fishery resources still remain, varying in extent from one Member State to another, and have worsened in recent years,

Amendment 98 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Welcomes also the two main principles set out by the Commission with a view to an effective and successful reform of the CFP, namely the need to give more responsibility to the sector, based on the establishment of conditions favourable to good fishing practice and to make management models more flexible in order to create alternatives to the traditional single system of TACs and quotas;

Amendment 161 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13 a (new)
13 a. Is surprised to note that the crucial role of fishing ports in the fisheries sector is not mentioned in the Green Paper, given that ports are major actors in fish landing, storage and distribution facilities. Calls therefore on the Commission to highlight the role of ports in the fisheries sector, in view of the developments that have created a need to upgrade infrastructure. Further considers that Europe’s fishing ports will be able to contribute in future to the development and provision of certification systems and better traceability of catches.

Amendment 279 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 30 a (new)
30a. Considers that more direct involvement of the fisheries sector in the formulation of the CFP and in its management might significantly reduce discards; considers that as much support as possible should be given to experiments with results-based management; considers that this will require the revision of the control regulation, even though it was only adopted in late 2009;

Amendment 292 #
Motion for a resolution
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;deleted

Amendment 396 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 42 a (new)
42 a. Considers that the northern fisheries agreements, e.g. the agreement with Norway, are of vital importance to fisheries in a number of Member States, that the necessary resources (for negotiators, administrators, etc) should still be earmarked in the CFP after 2012 for the continuation of these agreements, and that high priority should be given to investment in regional fisheries organisations;
