Recital 9
(9) It is paramount to better integrate environmental concerns into the CFP which should deliver on the objectives and targets of the Union’s environmental policy and the Europe 2020 Strategy. The CFP is aimed at an exploitation of living marine biological resources that restores and maintains fish stocks at levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield, not later than 201520. The CFP shall implement the precautionary and eco- system approaches to fisheries management. Consequently the EMFF should contribute to the protection of the marine environment as set out in the Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive).

(26) In line with the goal of simplification, all activities of the EMFF which fall under shared management, including control and data collection, should take the form of one single operational programme per Member State, in accordance with its national structure. The programming exercise shall cover the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020. Each Member State should prepare a single operational programme. Each programme should identify a strategy for meeting targets in relation to the Union priorities for the EMFF and a selection of measures. Programming should comply with Union priorities, while being adapted to national contextsand regional contexts, in particular the specific characteristics of the outermost regions, and complement the other Union policies, in particular rural development policy and cohesion policywhile maintaining the current management and control system, so as not to generate additional costs or cause delays to programme implementation.

Recital 32
Recital 32
(32) Investment in human capital is also vital to increase the competitiveness and economic performance of fishing and maritime activities. Therefore, the EMFF should support vocational training (which in addition to covering technical issues also includes knowledge about sustainable fisheries management and the proper handling of fish, with a view to achieving greater profitability), improved health and safety and hygiene standards at work, lifelong learning, co- operation between scientists and fishermen stimulating the dissemination of knowledge as well as for advisory services helping to improve the overall performance and competitiveness of operators. In addition, it is important that the EMFF promotes generational renewal and rejuvenates the profession by creating specific mechanisms to encourage young people to enter the sector, namely by raising the status of the fishing profession through ensuring better health and safety and welfare standards on board, training and vocational training, and increased income.
Amendment 241 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35
Recital 35
(35) Conscious of the potential that diversification offers for small scale coastal fishermen and their crucial role in coastal communities, the EMFF should help diversification by covering business start-ups and investments for the retrofitting of The EMFF should contribute to job creation by funding the creation of enterprises in the fisheries sector and the training activities required to learn the suitable professional skills. The EMFF may support investments and vocational skills training in otheir vessels, in addition to the relevant training to acquire professional skills in the relevant fiareas, including the maritime economy, provided that they seek to maintain or balance the socio- economic leveld outsidef a fishing activitiesrea.

Recital 38
Recital 38
(38) The introduction of the transferable fishing concessions systems should make the sector more competitive. Consequently, there may be a need for new professional opportunities outside the fishing activities. T, therefore, the EMFF shouldmay support the diversification and job creation in fishing communities in particular by supporting business start-ups and the reassignment of vessels for maritime activities outside fishing activities of small scale coastal fishing vessels. This last operation seems to be appropriate as the small scale coastal fishing vessels are not covered by the transferable fishing concessions systems.
Amendment 284 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 39
Recital 39
(39) The objective of the Common Fisheries Policy is to ensure a sustainable exploitation of fish stocks and contribute to the economic and social development of fisheries areas. Overcapacity has been identified as a major driver for overfishing. It is therefore paramount to adapt the Union fishing fleet to the resources available. The removal of overcapacity through public aid such as temporary or permanent cessation and scrapping schemes has proven ineffective. The EMFF will therefore support the establishment and management of systems of transferable fishing concessions aiming at the reduction of overcapacity and increased economic performance and profitability of the operators concerned.
Amendment 298 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 40
Recital 40
(40) With overcapacity being one of the key drivers of overfishing, measures need to be taken in some Member States, is necessary to identify, locate and quantify this overcapacity and take measures to adapt the Union fishing fleet to the resources available; in this context, among other management measures, the EMFF shouldmay support the establishment, modification and management of the systems of transferable fishing concessions introduced by the CFP as management tools for reducing overcapacity.
Amendment 305 #

Recital 41
Recital 41
(41) It is paramount to integrate environmental concerns into the EMFF and support the implementation of conservation measures under the CFP taking however into account the diverse conditions throughout the Union waters. For this purpose it is essential to develop a regionalised approach to conservation measures, duly adapted to the different regional realities, particularly in the outermost regions and their areas identified as bio-geographically sensitive.
Amendment 308 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 42
Recital 42
(42) In the same vein, the EMFF should support the reduction of the impact of fishing on the marine environment in particular through the promotion of eco innovation, more selective gears and equipment (including developing fish detection apparatus with a greater ability to identify species and sizes, in order to promote fewer bycatches, better fish and greater value) as well as measures aiming at protecting and restoring marine biodiversity and ecosystems and the services they provide, in line with the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020.
Amendment 315 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 43
Recital 43
(43) In line with the discard ban introduced by the CFPorder to significantly and progressively reduce discards, the EMFF should support investments on board aiming atthat restrict the maximum unwanted catches, make the best use of unwanted fish caughtcatches and valorise underused components of the fish caught, as well as vocational training for fishermen in this area. Considering the scarcity of the resources, in order to maximise the value of the fish caught, the EMFF should also support investments on board aiming at adding commercial value to fish caughtimproving the handling, storage and preservation of fish on board.
Amendment 327 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 44
Recital 44
(44) Conscious of the importance of fishing ports, landing sites, fish markets and shelters, the EMFF should support relevant investments in particular to increase energy efficiency, environmental protection, the quality of the product landed, as well as safety and working conditions.
Amendment 331 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 45
Recital 45
(45) It is vital for the Union that a sustainable balance be achieved between fresh water resources and their exploitation, considering that river basins, estuaries and coastal lagoons are privileged breeding habitats and act like hatcheries for many species of juvenile fish; therefore having due regard to environmental impact while ensuring that these sectors retain economic viability, appropriate provisions should support inland fishing.
Amendment 335 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 47
Recital 47
(47) Aquaculture contributes to growth and jobs in coastal and rural regions. Therefore, it is crucial that the EMFF is accessible to aquaculture enterprises, in particular SMEsregardless of their size, and contributes to bringing new aquaculture farmers into the business. In order to increase the competitiveness and economic performance of aquaculture activities it is vital to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship. Therefore the EMFF should support innovative operations and the business development, in particular of aquaculture enterprises in general, including non- food and off-shore aquaculture.
Amendment 344 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 48
Recital 48
(48) New forms of income combined with aquaculture activities have already shown their added value for business development. Therefore the EMFF should support these complementary activities outside aquaculture such as angling- tourism, educational or environmental activities, provided that they do not lead to a radical change in aquaculture activities and do not cause any significant decrease in production.
Amendment 352 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 50
Recital 50
(50) Conscious of the need to identify the most suitable areas for developing aquaculture taking into account access to waters and space, as well as defining existing aquaculture production areas, the EMFF should support national authorities in making their strategic choices at national level.
Amendment 358 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 50 a (new)
Recital 50 a (new)
(50A) Given the need to increase the competitiveness of European aquaculture enterprises, the EMFF should promote the reduction of production costs through a special arrangement for the cost of electricity and fuel consumed on farms, similar to that in place in the agricultural sector.
Amendment 366 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 52
Recital 52
(52) In order to promote environmentally sustainable aquaculture, the EMFF should support aquaculture activities which are highly respectful of the environment, the conversion of aquaculture enterprises to eco-management, the use of audit schemes as well as the conversion to organic aquaculture. In the same vein, the EMFF should also support aquaculture providing for special environmental services, including extensive and semi-intensive production systems providing environmental services to the surroundings they are in.
Amendment 383 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 61
Recital 61
(61) In order to ensure the viability of fisheries and aquaculture in a highly competitive market, it is necessary to lay down provisions granting support for the implementation of the [Regulation (EU) No on the common organisation of the markets in fishery and aquaculture products]1 as well as for marketing and processing activities carried by operators to maximise the value of fisheries and aquaculture products, as well as to promote the use of fisheries by-products by the aquaculture sector. Particular attention should be paid to the promotion of operations which integrate producing, processing and marketing activities of the supply chain. In order to adapt to the new discard ban policy, the EMFF should also support the processing of unwanted catches.
Amendment 397 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 62
Recital 62
(62) Priority should be given to fishermen’s organisations, producer organisations and associations of producer organisations by granting them support. The compensation for storage aid and aid for production and marketing plans should gradually be phased out as the importance of this particular kind of support has lost its inter, as well increased competences and responsibilitiest in the light of the evolving structure of the Union market for this kind of products and the growing importance of strong producer's organisationoperation of the sector, which is crucial to responsible, sustainable and profitable fishing practices.
Amendment 406 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 64
Recital 64
(64) Fishing activities in the outermost regions of the European Union are facing difficulties, in particular because of the regions’ geographical isolation, the absence of a continental shelf, the specific characteristics of their fisheries (often a great distance from the vessels’ home ports, forcing long and expensive trips) and the additional costs incurred in the marketing of certain fishery products, due to the particular handicaps recognised by Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Amendment 408 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 65
Recital 65
(65) In order to maintain the competitiveness of certain fishery products from the outermost regions of the European Union compared with that of similar products from other European Union’s regions, the European Union introduced measures in 1992 to compensate for the related additional costs in the fisheries sector. The measures applying for the period 2007-2013 are laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 791/20071. It is necessary to continue providingGiven the difficulties facing fishing activities in the outermost regions, it is necessary to increase support to offset the additional costs for the marketing of certain fishery products as of 1 January 2014.
Amendment 411 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 68
Recital 68
(68) Member States should set the compensation amount at a level which allows appropriate off-setting of additional costs, arising from the specific handicaps of the outermost regions and in particular from the costs of transporting the products to mainland Europe. To avoid overcompensation, the amount should be proportional to the additional costs the aid off-sets and in no case exceed 100 % of the transport and other related costs to mainland Europe. To this end, it should also take into account other types of public intervention having an impact on the level of additional costs.
Amendment 436 #

Recital 83
Recital 83
(83) In order to improve governance within the CFP and ensure the effective functioning of the Advisory Councils (ACs), it is essential for ACs to be provided with sufficient and permanent funding in order to pursue effectively their advisory role within the CFP. In this regard, it is particularly important to provide financial support to the newly created Advisory Council for the outermost regions, which should have access to increased funding to enable the structuring and subdivision of three hydrographic basins (Western Atlantic, Eastern Atlantic and Indian). Pursuing the logic of a single fund, the support granted to ACs under the EMFF should replace the support given to Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) on the basis of the Regulation (EC) No. 861/2006.
Amendment 440 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 88
Recital 88
(88) Conscious of the importance of ensuring conservation of marine biological and protecting fish stocks in particular from illegal fishing and in the spirit of the conclusions drawn in the Green Paper on the Reform of the CFP1, those operators who do not comply withcommit serious breaches of the rules of the CFP, and particularly jeopardise the sustainability of the stocks concerned and constitute therefore a serious threat to the sustainable exploitation of living marine biological resources that restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the MSY, and those who are involved in IUU fishing should be excluded from support under the EMFF. Union funding should not at any stage from the selection to the implementation of an operation be used to undermine the public interest of conservation of marine biological resources expressed in the objectives of the CFP Regulation.
Amendment 444 #

Recital 89
Recital 89
(89) Member States should adopt adequate measures to guarantee the proper functioning of management and control systems. To that end, a managing authority, a paying agency and a certification bodcertification authority and an audit authority should be designated for each operational programme and their responsibilities should be specified. These responsibilities should relate primarily to the sound financial implementation, organisation of evaluation, certification of expenditure, audit and compliance with Union law. Provision should be made for regular meetings between the Commission and the national authorities concerned in order to monitor the assistance. With respect to management and control it is necessary, in particular, to establish the modalities by which Member States give the assurance that the systems are in place and function satisfactorily.
Amendment 450 #
