(16) In view of the reasons stated above and in order to properly address the conservation concerns that this fishing gear continues to cause, as well as to achieve the environmental and enforcement objectives in an effective and efficient manner, while taking into account the minimal socio-economic impacts, it is necessary to introduce a full prohibition to take on board or use any kind of driftnets dditional measures, based on the logic of the Common Fisheries Policy and in particular the principle of regionalisation and a strengthening of control and sanctions, with regard to driftnets stored, kept on board or used in all Union waters and by all Union vessels whether they operate within Union waters or beyond, as well as by non-Union vessels in Union waters.

Recital 18
(18) Vessels carrying out fisheries with small-scale driftnets may need some time to adjust to the new situation and necessitate a phasing-out period. In cases where they will need to change the type of gear they use, support may be provided by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund only in cases in which they have not committed serious offences relating to the use of driftnets. This Regulation should therefore enter into force on 1 January 20156.
