Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002, the Union and its Member States committagreed to act against the continued decline of many fish stocks. Therefore, the Union should improve its Common Fisheries Policy to ensure that as a matter of priority exploitation levels of marine biological resources stocks are restored and maintained atround levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015 wherever possible, and by 2020 at the latest, for all commercial populations. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.

(9) An ecosystem based approach to fisheries management needs to be implemented, environmental impacts of fishing activities should be limited and unwanted catches should bein order to help ensure that human activities have a limited impact on the marine environment and to minimised and progressively eliminated unwanted catches.

Recital 10
(10) It is important that the management of the Common Fisheries Policy is guided by principles of good governance. Those principles include decision-making based on best available scientific advice, broad stakeholder involvement and a long-term perspective. The successful management of the Common Fisheries Policy also depends on a clear definition of responsibilities at Union, natregional, regnational and local levels and on the mutual compatibility and consistency of the measures taken with other Union policies.

(12) Implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy should take into account interactions with other maritime affairs as addressed by the Integrated Maritime Pnd generally be consistent with other Union policy24ies, recognizing that all matters related to Europe's oceans and seas are interlinked, including maritime spatial planning. Coherence and integration should be ensured in the management of different sectoral policies within the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Celtic Seas, Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast, Mediterranean and Black Sea sea basins.

Recital 18
(18) Measures are needed to reduce, and wherever possible eliminate, the current high levels of unwanted catches and discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established step by step and gradually implemented.
Amendment 360 #

Recital 21
Recital 21
(21) For stocks for which no multi-annual plan has been established, exploitation rates deliveringaround maximum sustainable yield should be ensured by setting catch and/or fishing effort limits.

Recital 26
Recital 26
(26) Member States should be able to adopt conservation measures and technical measures for the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy to allow for the policy to better address the realities and specificities of individual fisheries and to increase the adherence to the policyanagement of the Common Fisheries Policy should prove more efficient in a regionalised context, but under no circumstances should this entail renationalisation of the policy. To this end, and in accordance with Article 19(3) of Council Decision 2009/937/EU adopting the Council's Rules of Procedure, regionalised fisheries working groups shall be set up which, on the basis of reports compiled by the Advisory Councils, will manage fishing activity for specific areas by means of stronger action by the Member States involved in the fisheries for each area or fish population.
Amendment 404 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 29
Recital 29
(29) A system of transferable fishing concessions for the majority of managed stocks under the Common Fisheries Policy should be implemented no later than 31 December 2013 for all vessels of 125 meters' length or over and all other vessels fishing with towed gears. Member States may exclude vessels up to 125 meters' length other than vessels using towed gear on fishing trips of less than 24 hours from transferable fishing concessions. Such a system should contribute to industry- induced fleet reductions and improved economic performance while at the same time creating legally secure and exclusive transferable fishing concession of a Member State's annual fishing opportunities. Since marine biological resources are a common good, transferable fishing concessions should only establish user entitlements to a Member State's part of annual fishing opportunities which may be recalled according to established rules.

(39) Sustainable fisheries agreements concluded with third countries should ensure that Union fishing activities in third country waters are based on the best available scientific advice, ensuring a sustainable exploitation of the marine biological resources. Those agreements, which provide for access rights in exchange for a financial contribution from the Union, should contribute to the establishment of a high -quality governance framework to ensure in particular efficient monitoring, control and surveillance measures.
