Article 9 a (new)
Article 9 a 1. Member States shall ensure that all ports providing reception for fishing vessels, with the exception of remote ports or those with only a small number of fishing vessels, establish fishing-for-litter initiatives to encourage the collection and measurement of passively fished waste from normal fishing activities. 2.

Member States must ensure that data on the quantities of passively fished waste collected is collated and stored in a national or regional database for the purposes of monitoring and evaluation. Member States shall inform the Commission on the establishment of their national funds to the Commission by 31 December [two years after adoption], and shall submit biannual reports every two years thereafter on the activities funded under this article.
