(8) The objective of the multiannual plan should be to contribute to achieving the objectives of the CFP, and especially reaching and maintaining MSY for the stocks concernegradually expanding fish populations again by 2020 and keeping them above the biomass level for maximum sustainable yield, achieving a sustainable fisheries sector and providing an effective management framework.

(8a) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 expressly sets the objective of restoring and maintaining populations of harvested species above levels which can produce maximum sustainable yield. To achieve this goal, Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 stipulates that all stocks should gradually reach the level of fishing rate capable of producing the maximum sustainable yield by 2015 if possible, or by 2020 at the latest.

Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate to establish the target fishing mortality (F) that corresponds to the objective of reaching and maintaining MSY as ranges of values which are consistent with achieving maximum sustainable yield (FMSY). Those ranges, based on best available scientific advice, are necessary in order to provide flexibility to take account of developments in the scientific advice, to contribute to the implementation of the landing obligation and to take into account the characteristics of mixed fisheries. The FMSY ranges have been calculated by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) and.45a Based on this plan they are derived to deliver no more than a 5 % reduction in long-term yield compared to MSY.45 In addition, the upper limit of the range is capped, so that the probability of the stock falling below Blim is no more than 5 %. _________________ 45aScientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) – Small pelagic stocks in the Adriatic Sea.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) When scientific evidence indicates that recreational fisheries have a significant impact on the fishing mortality of a stock, the Council should take these fisheries into account. The Council should be able to set a TAC for commercial catches which takes into account the volume of recreational catches and/or to adopt other measures restricting recreational fisheries such as bag limits and closure periods.

(14) Where the targets relating to MSY are not available, the precautionary approach should applys referred to in Article 2(2) are not available, the multiannual plan should establish measures on the basis of the precautionary approach as defined in Article 4 1.(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. These measures should ensure a degree of conservation of the relevant stocks that is at least comparable to exploitation rates in accordance with the maximum sustainable yield as set out in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

Article 2 – paragraph 2 – point d
(d) ‘Range of FMSY’ means a range of values where all levels of fishing mortality within the scientifically indicated boundaries of that range, in situations of mixed fisheries and in accordance with scientific advice,provided in the best available scientific advice where all levels of fishing mortality within that range result in the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) in the long term given a fishing pattern and under existing average environmental conditions without significantly affecting the reproduction process for the stocks concerned; in question. It is derived to deliver no more than a 5% reduction in long-term yield compared to the maximum sustainable yield. It is capped so that the probability of the stock falling below the limit spawning stock biomass reference point (Blim) is no more than 5%;
