    The rapporteur emphasised in particular the need to simplify the control measures proposed by the Commission. Underlining the complexity of this issue, Commissioner BONINO disagreed with the rapporteur that given the lack of experience in this area they should try to find empirical solutions. In relation to the new technologies, before requiring the compulsory installation of satellites (which was very costly) or a control system based on a black box, it would be appropriate to wait for the outcome of the pilot projects currently being conducted. Similarly, action should be taken before extending the application of the control system to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. She therefore concluded by calling for the Commission proposal to be approved as it stood.

    In order to permit the integration of Spain and Portugal into the common fisheries policy, the Commission proposed amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, given the need to supplement the current control system in order to integrate the rules concerning the monitoring and control of fishery activities subject to limits on the fishing effort. In order to strengthen Community regulations, the proposal provided for the surveillance of the movements of vessels and/or their catches. Various specific provisions were included in order to ensure control of and respect for the fishing days for vessels operating in regulated areas. Measures were also included to strengthen controls of fishing tackle on vessels so as to ensure that only equipment permitted within the framework of the fishing restrictions were used. Finally, the Member States should ensure that on the basis of the information they received from their fishermen, they put a stop to fishing in an area where the fishing effort had been achieved. The Commission proposed adopting the proposal at the latest in parallel with its proposal for a regulation establishing the conditions of access to certain Community fishing areas and resources. �
