(4) The objectives of the CFP are, inter alia, to ensure that fishing and aquaculture areis environmentally sustainable in the long term, to apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management, and to implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management.

(5) For the achievement of the objectives of the CFP, a number of conservation measures are to be adopted as appropriate in any combination thereof, such as multi-annual plans, technical measures, fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities, all of which in compliance with Article 17 of the CFP Regulation, which establishes that, in assigning fishing opportunities, transparent and objective criteria should be applied, including those of an environmental, social and economic nature, such as the impact of fishing on the environment, the compliance record or the contribution to the local economy. Member States, within the fishing opportunities assigned to them, should endeavour to provide incentives for fishing vessels that use selective fishing gear or fishing techniques with a low environmental impact, e.g. involving low energy consumption or less damage to the habitat.

(7) "Best available scientific advice" refers to publicly available scientific advice that is supported by the most up-to-date scientific data and methods and has either been issued or reviewed by an independent scientific body that is recognised at the European Union or international level. This scientific advice should likewise include an in-depth investigation of the causes of the decline in fish stocks beyond fishing itself, such as pollution by wastewater, changes in currents due to works, the impact of mines, hydrocarbon exploration, the proximity of industries such as the pulp industry or activities linked to the so-called Blue Economy, such as aquaculture or offshore wind farms, and seamen and women should be involved in this process.

Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) On 15 December 2015, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on 'a new CFP: structure for technical measures and multiannual plans' (2015/2092(INI)), paragraph 25 of which states that it 'considers that incidental artisanal fishing in the inland waters of the Member States and regions must remain outside the TACs', which the Commission must take into account because of the great importance that this measure will have in maintaining the economic viability of small vessels that are engaged in artisanal fishing and supply daily markets with fresh fish.

(12) The geographical scope of the multiannual plan should be based on the geographical distribution of stocks indicated in the latest scientific stock advice provided by ICES. Future changes to the geographical distribution of stocks as set out in the multiannual plan may be needed either due to improved scientific information or due to migration of stocks. Therefore, the Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts adjusting the geographical distribution of stocks set out in the multiannual plan if the scientific advice provided by ICES indicates a change in the geographical distribution of the relevant stocks.

Recital 14
(14) The objective of this plan should be to contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the CFP, and in particular, reaching and maintaining MSY for the target stocks, implementing the landing obligation for demersal stocks subject to catch limits, bearing in mind the specific characteristics of mixed fisheries and artisanal fishing, and promoting a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing activities, bearing in mind coastal fisheries and socio-economic aspects in the allocation of fishing opportunities, to which Article 17 of the CFP Regulation refers. It should also implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in order to minimise negative impacts of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem. It should be coherent with the Union’s environmental legislation, in particular the objective of achieving good environmental status by 2020 (in accordance with Directive 2008/56/EC) and the objectives of Directive 2009/147/EC and Council Directive 92/43/EEC. This plan should also specify details for the implementation of the landing obligation in Union waters of the Western Waters for all stocks of species to which the landing obligation applies under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, establishing measures to ensure that fishermen and fisherwomen will under no circumstances be held accountable for the landing obligation established in the reformed CFP.

Recital 19
(19) Appropriate safeguard measures should be envisaged in case the stock size falls below these levels. Safeguard measures should include the reduction of fishing opportunities and specific conservation measures when scientific advice states that remedial measures are needed in a process in which the fishing sector should be consulted, while ensuing equal representation of the artisanal fishing sector. These measures should be supplemented by all other measures, as appropriate, such as Commission measures in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 or Member State measures in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

Recital 25
(25) In accordance with Article 10(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provisions should be established for the periodical assessment by the Commission of the adequacy and effectiveness of the application of this Regulation based on scientific advice. The plan should be evaluated by ... [fivthree years after the date of entry into force of this Regulation], and every five years thereafter. That period allows for the full implementation of the landing obligation, and for regionalised measures to be adopted, implemented and to show effects on the stocks and fishery. It is also the minimum period required by scientific bodiese years thereafter.

Article 1 – paragraph 4
4. This Regulation also applies to by- catches, taking into account the specific characteristics of mixed and artisanal fisheries, caught in the Western Waters when fishing for the stocks listed in paragraph 1. However, where ranges of FMSY and safeguards linked to biomass for those stocks are established under other Union legal acts establishing multiannual plans, those ranges and safeguards shall apply.

Article 3 – paragraph 1
Article 3 – paragraph 1
1. The plan shall contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the common fisheries policy listed in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, in particular by applying the precautionary approach to fisheries management, and shall aim to ensure that exploitation of living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce MSY, as well as to ensure the economic survival of the fishing sector, with special focus on the artisanal fleet, for which it is indispensable that there should be a fair distribution of fishing opportunities, overcoming the discrimination from which this sector currently suffers as regards distribution.

Article 3 – paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. In cases of biological rest periods for the regeneration of fisheries due to pollution of the marine environment, or closures of fishing or shellfish areas caused, for example, by deficiencies in or the absence of a wastewater treatment system or discharges of any type of pollution, these payments shall be made with a contribution from the agents responsible for the pollution, whether they be public administrations or enterprises that fail to comply with environmental standards, and steps shall be taken to ensure that during these periods fishermen and fisherwomen have an adequate income.

3. In accordance with Article 9(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the management of mixed and artisanal fisheries with regard to stocks referred to in Article 1(4) of this Regulation shall take into account the difficulty of fishing all stocks at MSY at the same time, especially in situations where this leads to a premature closure of the fishery.

Article 9 – paragraph 1
1. When allocating fishing opportunities available to them in accordance with Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 1380/2013, Member States shall take account of the likely catch composition of vessels participating in mixed fisheries as well as the needs of artisanal fishing and its economic and social importance in fishing communities, as established in the Article cited above.

The delegation of power shall be tacitly extended for periods of an identical duration, unless the European Parliament or the Council opposes such extension not later than three months before the end of each period.
