Amendment 61 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas fishermen and, aquaculture producers and sea fishermen in continental Europe and in the outermost regions are the first to feel the impact of marine waste, which puts their activities at risk, as this waste can act as an obstacle, get snarled up in fishing gear, damage gear and cause it to be lost, block vessels’ engines and cooling systems, generate significant economic losses and pose a threat to the security of seafarers on ship;

Eb. whereas ghost fishing occurs when lost or abandoned, non-biodegradable fishing nets, traps and lines catch, entangle, injure, starve and cause the death of marine life; whereas the phenomenon of ghost fishing is brought about by the loss and abandonment of fishing gear; whereas the Fisheries Control Regulation requires the mandatory marking of gear and the notification and retrieval of lost gear; whereas some fishermen therefore bring back to port, at their own initiative, lost nets retrieved from the sea;
Amendment 72 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E c (new)
Recital E c (new)
Ec. whereas an estimated 80% of marine litter is accounted for by plastic and microplastic, somewhere between 20% and 40% of plastic marine litter is linked in part to human activities at sea, including merchant and cruise ships, with the rest originating on land, and, according to a recent FAO study, roughly 10% comes from lost and abandoned fishing gear; whereas lost and abandoned fishing gear is one component of plastic marine litter and, given that an estimated 94% of the plastic entering the ocean ends up on the sea floor, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) needs to be used to ensure that fishermen become directly involved in fishing for marine litter schemes by being paid or offered other financial or material incentives;

Paragraph 15 a (new)
Paragraph 15 a (new)
15a. Suggests that the Member States should put pressure on European neighbourhood countries, particularly around the Mediterranean, to end their policy of waste dumping; considers that it is not right for such countries to receive EU funding without solving this problem and, therefore, that a list of non- cooperative countries in the fight against marine waste should be drawn up so that the necessary financial measures can be taken;
