REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain provisions for fishing in the GFCM (General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean) Agreement area (recast)
Amendments (12)
Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 6
Recital 6
(6) Recommendations adopted by the GFCM are binding on its contracting parties. As the Union is a contracting party to the GFCM Agreement, these recommendations are binding on the Union and should therefore be implemented in Union law, in a manner which ensures a level playing field for Union operators in relation to operators from other GFCM contracting parties, unless their content is already covered thereby

Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) For these reasons and since the permanent character of recommendations requires also a permanent legal instrument for their implementation in Union law, it is appropriate to implement these recommendations via a single legislative act, ensuring legal clarity and predictability for Union operators in waters covered by the GFCM and where future recommendations can be added by way of amendments to that act.
Amendment 16 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The advice upon which management measures are based should itself be based on the scientific use of relevant data on fleet capacity and activity, on the biological status of exploited resources and on the social and economic situation of fisheries. Furthermore, the scientific data should include a holistic impact assessment of commercial, biological and environmental threats against key species. This data needs to be collected and submitted in time to allow the subsidiary bodies of the GFCM to prepare their advice.
