Recital 2
(2) The scope of the Common Fisheries Policy extends to conservation, and management and exploitation ofof the Member States’ marine biological areas and resources. In addition, the Common Fisheries Policy's scope extends in relation to market measures and financial measures in support of its objectives, to fresh water biological resources and aquaculture, as well as to the processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, where such activities take place on the territory of Member States, or in Union waters, including by fishing vessels flying the flag of, and registered in, third countries, or by Union fishing vessels, or by nationals of Member States, without prejudice to the primary responsibility of the flag State, bearing in mind the provisions of Article 117 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Recital 4
(4) The Union is a Contracting Party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS)18 and it has ratified the United Nations Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks of 4 August 1995 (UN Fish Stocks Agreement) . It has also accepted the Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas of 24 November 1993 of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO Compliance Agreement)19. These international instruments predominantly foresee conservation obligations, including among other things obligations to take conservation and management measures designed to maintain or restore marine resources at levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield both within sea areas under national jurisdiction and on the high seas, and to cooperate with other States to this end, obligations to apply the precautionary approach widely to conservation, management and exploitation of fish stocks, obligations to ensure compatibility of conservation and management measures where marine resources occur in sea areas of different jurisdictional status and obligations to have due regard to other legitimate uses of the seas. In the interests of a harmonised sustainable fisheries policy in all shared seas and to improve cooperation with neighbouring countries and the management of shared stocks, the Union should seek to conclude sustainable fisheries cooperation agreements with third countries, under which the Union can provide financial and technical assistance in exchange for application of the same, or comparable, rules on sustainable management as applied in the Union. The Common Fisheries Policy should contribute to the Union's proper discharge of its international obligations under these international instruments. Where Member States adopt conservation and management measures, for which they have been empowered in the framework of the Common Fisheries Policy, they should also act in a manner which is fully consistent with the international conservation and cooperation obligations under the said international instruments.

Recital 12
(12) Implementation of tThe Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) should take into account ithe Integractions with oted Maritime Policy via an ecosystemic and integrated approach to management of ther maritime affairs as addressed by the Integrated Maritime Policy, recognizing that all matters related to Europe's ocene environment that covers all sectors and marks the launch of a process encouraging the sustainable exploitation of oceans and seas while also promoting the development of maritime sectors and coastal areas ansd and seas are interlinked, including maritime spatial planningcting as a perfect lynchpin for all the interconnected activities relating to the sea and for a rational spatial use of the sea. Coherence and integration should be ensured in the management of different sectoral policies within the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Celtic Seas, Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast, Mediterranean and Black Sea basins.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) The objective of sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources is more effectively achieved through a multi-annual approach to fisheries management. To that end, the Member States should work in close cooperation with the public authorities and Regional Advisory Councils to create the conditions for sustainability, including at a local level, via participatory action at regional level that is more cohesive as regards the decision-making procedures that lead into the drawing-up of multi-annual plans, establishing as a priority multi-annual plans reflecting the specificities of different fisheries.
Amendment 335 #

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Measures are needed to reduce and gradually eliminate the current high levels of unwanted catches and discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established and gradually implemented.
Amendment 354 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) Landings of unwanted catches should not result in full economic advantages for the operator. For landings of catches of fish under the minimum conservation reference size, the destination of such catches should be limited and exclude sale for human consumption or otherwise.
