Title 1
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on establishing a multi-annual plan for certain demersal stocks in the North Sea and the fisheries exploiting those stocks and repealing Council Regulation (EC) 676/2007 and Council Regulation (EC) 1342/2008

(10) The objective of this plan should be to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the CFP, and especially reaching and maintaining MSY for the stocks concerned, contributing to the implementation of the landing obligation for demersal stocks subject to catch limits, as well as implementation of the socioeconomic aspects of the CFP, and contributing to the implementation of the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management.

(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 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 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (General context of ICES) and are derived to deliver no more than a 5% reduction in long-term yield compared to MSY40 . The upper limit of the range is capped, so that the probability of the stock falling below Blim or Abundancelimit is no more than 5%. That upper limit also conforms to the ICES “advice rule”41 , which indicates that when the spawning biomass or abundance is in a poor state, F be reduced to a value that does not exceed an upper limit equal to the FMSY point value multiplied by the spawning biomass or abundance in the TAC year divided by MSY Btrigger or Abundancelimit. ICES uses these considerations and advice rule in its provision of scientific advice on fishing mortality and catch options. _________________ 40EU request to ICES to provide FMSY ranges for selected North Sea and Baltic Sea stocks 41 2015.dvice, July

1a. Stresses disappointment that Norway has not been fully consulted in establishing this multi- annual plan; recognises that as of 29 March 2019, arrangements for managing shared North Sea stocks will be agreed between the Union, Norway and the UK in a trilateral agreement; calls on the Commission therefore to halt the process of this proposal until the future North Sea arrangement is clear.
