A new CFP: structure for technical measures and multiannual plans (A8-0328/2015 - Gabriel Mato) FR
Amendments (18)
Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas technical measures that have piled up over the years are currently so complex, diverse and disorganised, as to be frequently inconsistent or even contradictory, not to mention being difficult for those in the fisheries sector to comprehend;
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas the complexity of the technical measures and the difficulties arisingin implementing them, coupled with the absence of any tangible results or incentives under the CFP have contributed to making fishermen mistrustful;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas the discard ban involves a radical change of approach to fisheries management, and hence to technical measures in key areas such as catch composition and netting;
Amendment 51 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital K
Recital K
K. whereas codecision is not always necessary for measures taken at regional level or subject to frequent changes, but must be used for the adoption of rules that are common to all sea basins or not likely to be amended in the foreseeable future;
Amendment 67 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital O
Recital O
O. whereas the adoption of technical measures on a regional basis should follow the model agreed by the co-legislators under the new common fisheries policy, namely for adoption by the Commission of delegated acts on the basis of joint recommendations from the Member States concerned; whereas the EP nevertheless retains the right to object to any delegated act, in accordance with the Treaty;
Amendment 86 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital Q
Recital Q
Q. whereas technical measures applicable in the Mediterranean are not always adapted to the needs of the different local fisheries, and implementing them is made difficult by the great number of derogations that exist;
Amendment 107 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital U
Recital U
U. whereas difficulties in implementing the discard ban in mixed fisheries are likely towill inevitably arise with 'choke' species; whereas 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 ensure maximum sustainable yield and improve the economic performance of fleets at a given fishing mortality rate;
Amendment 125 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital AD
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 basis of Article 43(2) TFEU, on the adoption of fishing mortality targets;
Amendment 146 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Considers that, in order to make CFP rules more acceptable to the fisheries sector and ensure compliance therewith, fishermen must be more involved in decision making, especially within the context of advisory councils, given incentives such as more aid for innovation and encouraged to use more selective fishing gear;
Amendment 166 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Believes codecision sometimes to be unnecessary for measures adopted at regional level or possibly subject to frequent changes, and that reasonable recourse to delegated acts makes it possible to meet this need of flexibility and responsiveness; recalls however that the EP retains the right to object to any delegated act, in accordance with the Treaty;
Amendment 168 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6 a (new)
Paragraph 6 a (new)
6a. Recommends that a clear, general European framework for the technical measures should be defined, setting out a limited number of major cross-cutting principles; believes that all rules not applicable to the vast majority of European waters should not be included in this general framework but instead come under regionalisation;
Amendment 172 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Considers that rules regarding technical measures should be structured on three co- decisional axes and a fourth regionalisation axis. The first three would comprise a set of common centralised rules and definitions (including a list of prohibited gear and species), 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
Amendment 178 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7 a (new)
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Underlines the need for the new framework of technical measures to read clearly, which will require a significant clarification effort; consequently requests that the existing technical measures, in particular Regulations 850/98 and 1967/2006, be revoked beforehand in order to bring an end to the piling-up of regulations;
Amendment 205 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 a (new)
Paragraph 10 a (new)
10a. Believes that the landing obligation constitutes a fundamental change for fisheries, and that the technical measures therefore need to be adapted so as to allow them to implement and facilitate more selective fishing; recommends the following three measures in order to achieve this: - substantially modifying, or even revoking, the rules governing the composition of catches, - affording greater flexibility as regards netting, - making it possible to hold several types of gear on board;
Amendment 206 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 b (new)
Paragraph 10 b (new)
10b. Takes note of the difficulties arising from the coexistence of the marketing standards laid down by Regulation 2406/96 and the minimum catch sizes; requests that they be harmonised by the new framework of technical measures;
Amendment 207 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10 c (new)
Paragraph 10 c (new)
10c. Questions the importance of a management approach based solely on the minimum catch sizes in certain fisheries, especially in the Mediterranean; believes that it would be appropriate to supplement this approach with time-area measures relating to fishing effort;
Amendment 220 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Believes that multi-annual plans are being called on to play an increasingly significant vital role in the conservation of fisheries resources under the CFP, being the most suitable vehicle for the adoption and implementation of specific technical measures at regional levelthe level of the different fisheries;
Amendment 242 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Believes that the European Parliament should give particularly close scrutiny to delegated acts regarding discard plans and reserve the right to object to any if it deems it necessary;
