Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
B. whereas the reform of the common fisheries policy (CFPRegulation (EU) No 1380/2013) includeds among its objectives the achievement ofrestoring and maintaining populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield (MSY), using an ecosystem-based approach; whereas technical measures and multiannual plans, which are concerned with conservation, are are among the main tools to achieve these objectives;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
F. whereas the review of technical measures, based on a solid scientific approach, should seek to improve the sustainability of fishery resources without compromising the economic viability of fishing activityconservation and sustainable exploitation of stocks and minimise the negative impact of fishing on the environment;

2015/10/20
Committee: PECH
Amendment 76 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital P
P. whereas certain proposals for specific regulations containing technical measures (concerning driftnets, cetacean bycatches, ban on on-board shark finning or deep-sea fishing) have proved controversial; whereas some proposals, such as those concerning deep-sea fishing in the northeast Atlantic, have been blocked for over three years; whereas deliberations on driftnet fishing are also deadlocked; whereas a number of specific provisions regarding technical measures, such as those concerning on-board shark finning, have been rejected by the RFMOs,Deleted

Committee: PECH
Amendment 96 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital S
S. whereas the multiannual plans adopted between 2002 and 2009 were not all equally effective, the least satisfactory being attributed to the shortcomings of certain instruments and verification proceduresffective;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 100 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital T
T. whereas CFP reform introduced landing requirements while failing to do anything to make the TAC and quota systems less inherently rigid;deleted
2015/10/20
Committee: PECH
Amendment 108 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital U
U. whereas difficulties in implementing the discard ban in mixed fisherieslanding obligation are likely to arise with 'choke' species; whereasand therefore the multiannual plans should therefore seek to promote instruments, such as fishing effort regulation, that are unconstrained by the rigidities of the TAC and quota system, thereby helping to ensurincorporate instruments able to help achieve the aim of restoring and maintaining populations of fishery species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield and improve the economic performance of fleets at a given fishing mortality rate;
2015/10/20
Committee: PECH
Amendment 119 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital AA
AA. whereas the plans must set a general objective that is achievable in administrative and scientific terms; whereas it should include high and stable yieldslong-term stable yields in accordance with best available scientific advice, something which must be reflected in annual Council decisions regarding fishing opportunities in the light of the latestbest available scientific intelligenadvice; whereas these annual decisions should be strictly confined to the allocation of fishing opportunities, and should as far as possible seek to avoid large fluctuations in this respect;
2015/10/20
Committee: PECH
Amendment 124 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital AD
AD. whereas progress has been made with the multi-annual plan for the Baltic, the Council having agreed to work jointly with the EP on the adoption of fishing mortality targets;deleted

Committee: PECH
Amendment 131 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital AH
AH. whereas, for the same species, minimum conservation reference sizes may vary from one area to another in order to take into account the specific nature of the fisherspecies and the fishing gear employedfisheries; whereas, whenever possible, horizontal decisions for all areas are desirable in order to facilitate monitoring;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 139 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
2. Believes that technical measures must be reviewed in a bid to simplify and standardiseement the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy, simplify current rules, and improve the scientific base and make it more consistent and more acceptable to the fisheries sector;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 176 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
7. Considers that rules regarding technical measures should be structured on three co-decisional axes and a fourdetermined using the regionalisation axis. The first three would comprise a process and be basetd ofn common centralised rules, a set of specific rules for the larger sea basins and a number of specific technical regulations, all off which would be adopted by co-decision; Notes that regionalisation would apply to rules applicable at regional level or subject to frequent changes; Measures shall be re- evaluated on a regular basis

Committee: PECH
Amendment 209 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
11. Considers that a review of technical measures must takeshall take into account their impact in terms of not only biological resources conservation and the marine environment but also fishing operating costs and profitability;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 245 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
20. Considers that the transitional validity of the delegated acts regarding discard plans, including changes to the minimum sizes, should not in any case exceed three years and should be replaced, where appropriate, by a multi-annual plan and that, to that end, multiannual plans should be adopted as soon as possible;

Committee: PECH
Amendment 248 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
21. Takes the view that, in the context of regionalisation, it is necessary to avoid the proliferation of decisions on minimum sizes for each species, since this would make verification harder and could lead to marketing irregularities or fraud;
