Amendment 61 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) The objectives of the CFP are, amongst others, to ensure that fishing and aquaculture activities are environmentally sustainable in the long term, to apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management and to implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. It will also help supply the Union market with food of high nutritional value, reduce the Union market's dependence on food imports, encourage the direct and indirect creation of employment and economic development in coastal areas.

Amendment 78 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
(11) France, Italy and Spain have adopted management plans under Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006. However, there is a lack of consistency between the plans and they do not take account of all the gears exploiting demersal stocks and the straddling distribution of certain stocks and fishing fleets. Besides, those plans have proven ineffective in meeting the objectives set in the CFP. Member States and stakeholders have expressed support for the development and implementation of a multi-annual plan at Union level for the stocks concerned. The countries should implement the measures set out in this Regulation jointly in order to maximise their effectiveness.

Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15
(15) Given their importance, the plan provided for in this Regulation should cover recreational fisheries catching western Mediterranean demersal stocks. Where such fisheries have a significant impact on stocks, the multi-annual plan provided for by this Regulation should provide for the possibility of specific management measures which do not harm the professional fisheries sector.

Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17a (new)
(17a) A restructuring of the fleet may be necessary for the effective implementation of this Regulation and for the fulfilment of the objectives of the CFP. It is therefore necessary to provide for the possibility for the countries to draw up fleet and effort restructuring plans in order to enhance selectivity and energy efficiency, for which reason they should have access to aid for scrapping and modernisation. To this end, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund should be amended to take account of these instruments.

Amendment 96 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
(23) In order to ensure transparent access to fisheries and the achievement of target fishing mortalities, athe Union should have sound data and reliable statistics, on the basis of which a fishing effort regime should be adopted for trawls which are the main gear used to exploit demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean. To that end, it is appropriate to determine effort groups in order for the Council to establish maximum allowable fishing effort, expressed as numbers of fishing days, on an annual basis. Where necessary, the effort regime should incorporate other fishing gears.

Amendment 101 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25
(25) Where scientific advice shows that recreational fisheries have a significant impact on the fishing mortality of the stocks concerned, the Council should take them into account. To that effect, the Council maywill set fishing opportunities through the effort regime for commercial catches which takes into account the volume of recreational catches in order not to jeopardise commercial/professional fisheries and/or to adopt other measures restricting recreational fisheries.

Amendment 104 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26
(26) Where the best available scientific advice shows that the fishing effort regime is not sufficient to meet the objectives or targets of the plan provided for in this Regulation, management measures based on total allowable catches should be introduced in order to complement the effort regime.
