Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) This Regulation takes account of international guidelines on the management of deep-sea fisheries in the high seas adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), in particular the definitions of 'vulnerable marine ecosystems' and 'significant adverse impacts', as well as their scope, and does not call into question the basic rules set out in these guidelines. When implementing this Regulation, due account should be taken of the FAO guidelines. Should doubt arise over the interpretation of this Regulation, it should be interpreted in the light of the FAO guidelines.
