Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Points out that, inter alia, rapid depletion of European fish stocks as a result of fishing practices is eroding the ecological and economic basis of fisheries and is making marine ecosystems more vulnerable to climate change and thus less capable of adapting;

Paragraph 5
5. Notes that climate change will have potentially severe economic implications for European industrial and small-scale fisheries, which may requiringe a reduction in industrial fishing-fleet capacitythe capacity of some segments of the fleet and a shift towards sustainable fishing and aquaculture practices; calls, therefore, for consideration to be given to alternative fisheries management systems that allow effective and swift adaptation and help make ecosystems more resilient;

10. Urges the Commission to ensure that adequate financing is provided for ecosystem protection and for compensation for the climate-related income losses suffered by fishermen; ; calls on the Commission, likewise, to guarantee adequate funding for research into climate change and its impact on fisheries and possible mechanisms for adapting to climate change, as well as applied research on the fishing industry aimed at identifying and using alternative fuels that reduce carbon dioxide emissions as a means of mitigating the impact of climate change;

Paragraph 11a (new)
Paragraph 11a (new)
11a. Stresses that the fishing industry's capacity to adapt to variations in productivity and recruitment in the various fisheries depends on the following factors: - fishing capacity being commensurate with the productive capacity of the resource during its lower productivity phases, - the availability of alternative fishery resources, - investment in flexible technologies such as 'multipurpose' boats and flexible processing chains, - the availability of alternative livelihoods during lean periods1;
