Amendment 14 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Commission to provide for the establishment of long-term management plans for all EU single- species fisheries; highlights the possibility of grouping fisheries according to geographical fishing regions by regionalising the common fisheries policy, whereby the specificities of the different European seas should be taken into account and a separate regime should apply to small-scale coastal fisheries; believes that there should be a possibility for investments in new landing sites and start- up packages in order to secure a new generation of fishermen entering into small-scale fisheries;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses the need for a balance between the ecological and the economic and social situation in each fishery and emphasises that it is very important that European fishermen accept harvest control rules, and therefore calls for wide participation by representatives of Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) and other relevant stakeholders when establishing management plans; considers that in the future RACs should play a much greater role in this process; thereby calls for proper regionalisation; proposes that the RACs submit a mandatory opinion to the Commission on all the management plans prior to the proposal;
Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Underlines the direct link between discards, unwanted by-catch and overfishing, and the need to develop an efficient no-discards policyneed to develop an efficient policy to significantly reduce discards at EU level whereby the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) should have greater powers to ensure a fair system of rules and sanctions, i.e. the principle of equal treatment; argues that a discard bansignificant reduction in discards should be fishery-based and not relate to different fish stocks; stresses that selected fishing gear and other devices which reduce or eliminatsignificantly reduce by-catches of non- targeted species, as well as other sustainable fishing methods, should be promoted; underlines the importance of addressing the management of mixed fisheries to this end;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution

8. Urges the Commission to address immediately the issue of the lack of reliable and available data necessary for sound scientific advice; calls on the Commission to establish a system whereby Member States which do not fulfil their data collection and transmission obligations are sanctioned; stresses that adequate financial means have to be allocated to relevant scientific research in the Member States; urges the Commission at the same time to set up a framework for decision-making in data-poor situations, both regarding management plans and TACs and quota decisions;

Paragraph 10
10. CallIs onf the Commission to establish a definition of overview that the priority is not to reduce the capacity, at EU level accommodating regional definitions, ws indicated by the Commission, but actually to preserve the re local specificities are taken into account; further calls on the Commission to redefine fishing capacity in such a way that both the vessel’s fishing capacity and its actual fishing effsource and the activity of fishing; reiterates that there is no proven link between the reduction in the capacity of the fleet and the reduction in catches, nort are taken as a basis; stresses moreover the necessity to define small-scale fisheries in order to dissociate them from industrial fisheriny proven link between the concentration of quotas and the reduction in catches;

14.
