Amendment 30 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas the common fisheries policy (CFP) is aimed, inter alia, at ensuring that fishing and aquaculture activities are environmentally sustainable in the long term and at progressively restoring and maintaining populations of fish stocks above biomass levels capable of producing the maximum sustainable yield (MSY);
Amendment 33 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas the aim of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) is to protect and preserve the marine environment, prevent its deterioration and restore marine ecosystems, and to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) for EU marine waters by 2020;
Amendment 37 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas fisheries management measures adopted under the CFP are beginning to bear fruit in European waters, as the number of fish stocks exploited at sustainable levels is increasing, making higher yields possible for stocks which were until recently overexploited;
Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C a (new)
Recital C a (new)
Ca. whereas these encouraging results must be lessened by the signing of international fisheries agreements between the EU and third countries that transport the fishing effort European states' vessels elsewhere;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas fishing at maximum economic yield (MEY) refers to the level of capture at which social, environmental and economic benefits for society are maximised, which improves the resilience of the sector; stresses, however, the complexity of its calculation method;
Amendment 55 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
Recital F
Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital H
Recital H
H. whereas the loss of marine biodiversity has socio-economic impacts on the fishing sector, coastal and overseas communities and society as a whole, and should therefore be prevented; whereas rebuilding fish populations would bring larger economic benefits than the current state of marine fish populations, according to the World Bank;
Amendment 83 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to strengthen scientific coverage with the objective that 100 % of the fish stocks exploited in European waters be assessed at the latest by 2025 and that the MSY can be calculated for all these stocks;
Amendment 89 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Urges the Commission to strengthen the implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management in orderSuggests that studies on the ecosystem approach to fisheries management be stepped up in order to establish the extent to which that approach makes it possible to minimise negative impacts on marine ecosystems, fish stocks and society;
Amendment 92 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Commission to continue to support plans to improve selectivity and to take into account the results of studies showing the detrimental impacts of some fishing techniques such as bottom-contacting gear or fish aggregating devices (FADs) by strongly limiting their use;
Amendment 147 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. WelcomNotes the Commission’s proposal, in its 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, to have at least 30 % of sea area in the EU protected;
Amendment 157 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Calls for half of that area, meaning 150 % of European waters, to benefit from a high level of protection, which includes areas where all catches and any economic activities are prohibited (no-take zones), areas where only the most destructive fishing techniques, such as bottom- contacting gear, are banned, and fish stock recovery areas, as provided for under the CFP;
Amendment 168 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Urges the Commission to set strongclear MPA management guidelines for Member States and to establish a classification of MPAs taking into account their stage of establishment, management plans and ecosystemic benefits, drawing on existing guidelines such as the global standards of the IUCN;
Amendment 197 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Invites the Member States to expand, if possible, the network of fish stock recovery areas under the CFP;
Amendment 207 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Stresses that rapid and strong action to fight pollution and the influence of climate change is essential for the preservation of healthy fish populations, and therefore for the continuity of fishing activity and for food security in the long term;
Amendment 211 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 20
Paragraph 20
20. Stresses that the rebuilding of fish stocks also requires tackling other anthropogenic effects such as oxygen depletion and acidification, as well as various sources of pollution impacting the rebuilding of fish stocks, such as nitrates, plastic and microplastic pollution, waste water, fertilisers, pesticidelant protection products, toxic chemicals, pollution from industrial activity and mass tourism, residues from aquaculture, plastic and microplastic pollution, sun creams, hormones, noise pollution, oil leaks and lost or discarded fishing gear;
