Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) The plan has to allow for the specific features of fishing gear. When implementing the plan, the Union and Member States will be required to pay particular attention to non-industrial fishing activities and sustainable traditional types of fishing gear such as tuna traps, which are very useful for the purposes of tuna stock recovery because they are highly selective, have a low environmental impact on marine ecosystems, and are valuable in scientific terms.

(14) All the amendments to the Recovery plan adopted by ICCAT in 2006, 2012, 2013 and 2014, which have not been subject to transposition yet, should be integrated into Union law. As this transposition concerns a plan whose objectives and measures were defined by ICCAT, this Regulation does not cover all the content of multiannual plans as set out under Articles 9 and 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council21 . __________________ 21 Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (OJ L 354/22, 28.12.2013, p. 122).

Recital 15
(15) It is necessary to transpose into Union law future binding amendments of the Recovery plan. In order to swiftly incorporate into Union law such amendments, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the European Commission (the “Commission”). It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level. The Commission, when preparing and drawing-up delegated acts, should ensure a simultaneous, timely and appropriate transmission of relevant documents to the European Parliament and Counciordinary legislative procedure should be applied. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level.

(23) Paragraph 2.c of ICCAT Recommendation 06-0727, which is still in force, sets up a sampling program for the estimation of the number-at-size in the context of Bluefin tuna farming activities. That provision was transposed by Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009. It is not necessary that this Regulation specifically provides for the sampling programme, as the needs of that sampling program are now fully covered by the programmes set up by paragraph 83 of Recommendation 14-04, which is to be transposed by this Regulation. That paragraph foresees the use of stereoscopic camera systems or alternative techniques providing the equivalent precision and covers all caging operations in order to refine the number and weight of fishme based on physical measurement of 10% of the total number of dead tuna, That provision was transposed by Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009.

Recital 23 a (new)
(23a) Under paragraph 83 of Recommendation 14-04, which is to be transposed by this Regulation, the means to be employed in all caging operations are either stereoscopic camera systems or alternative techniques providing equivalent precision, so as to produce a reasonably accurate estimate of the number of fish caught and their weight at the moment of being caged. This provision applies in addition to the provision set out above, but does not replace it. Accordingly, the two obligation coexist. __________________ 27 Recommendation 06-07 by ICCAT on Bluefin tuna farming. (see previous amendment concerning recital 23, COM text)
