Recital 18

(18) ~~Vessels~~Fishermen carrying out ~~fisheries with small-scale driftnet~~artisanal fisheries may need some time to adjust to the new ~~situation and necessitate a phasing-out period~~requirements. In cases where they need to change the type of gear they use, support should be provided by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, provided that the new gear is less harmful than the gear used before. This Regulation should therefore ~~enter into force on~~apply from 1 January 20157.
