Recital 1
(1) The common fisheries policy (CFP) should contribute to the protection of the marine environment, to the sustainable management of all commercially exploited species, and in particular to the achievement of good environmental status in the marine environment by 2020 in accordance with Article 1(1) of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council40. The CFP, which is an exclusive competence of the Union, must be conducted in harmony with the Member States, as otherwise it could induce a country to leave the European Union, as happened in 1985 with Greenland, which is now an overseas territory associated with the Union. __________________ 40 Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive) (OJ L 164, 25.6.2008, p. 19).

(2a) The Adriatic Sea represents approximately one third of the total value of landings of marine products, and small pelagic species are a major component of Adriatic fisheries. Among them, anchovies and sardines are the most lucrative and the most prized in the Adriatic and thus represent virtually all the catches of small pelagic fishermen.

(4) Despite being managed under both an international management plan under the GFCM and national management plans adopted under Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/200642, Adriatic anchovy and sardine stocks continue to be overexploited and the current management measures are considered to be insufficient to achieve MSY by 2020. Member States and stakeholders have expressed support for their development andsire to improve the implementation of existing management plans for theseand possibly two stocks at EU levelintensify and supplement them. __________________ 42 Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 of 21 December 2006 concerning management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea, amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 (the Mediterranean Regulation) (OJ L36, 8.2.2007, p.6).

(7) Pursuant to Articles 9 and 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, multi- annual plans are to be based on scientific, technical and economic advice and, contain objectives, quantifiable targets with clear timeframes, conservation reference points and safeguards and make provision for their revision after an initial ex post evaluation, particularly to take into account changes that have occurred in scientific advice.

Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate to establish the target fishing mortality (F) that corresponds to the objective of reaching and maintaining MSY as ranges of values which are consistent with achieving maximum sustainable yield (FMSY). Those ranges, based on scientific advice, are necessary in order to provide flexibility to take account of developments in the scientific advice, to contribute to the implementation of the landing obligation and to take into account the characteristics of mixed fisheries. The FMSY ranges have been calculated by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) and are derived to deliver no more than a 5 % reduction in long-term yield compared to MSY45. In addition, the upper limit of the range is capped, so that the probability of the stock falling below Blim is no more than 5 %, so as to preserve the capacity of future generations to meet their needs. __________________ 45 Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) – Small pelagic stocks in the Adriatic Sea.

Recital 15
(15) For stocks for which they are available and for the purpose of the application of safeguard measures, it is necessary to establish conservation reference points expressed as MSY Btrigger and Blim for anchovy and sardine stocks. Should the stocks fall below MSY Btrigger, fishing mortality should be reduced below FMSY until the stocks are restored.

(25) In order to adapt to the technical and scientific progress in a timely and proportionate fashion and to ensure flexibility and allow evolution of certain measures, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission in respect of supplementing this Regulation as regards remedial measures for the conservation of mackerel and horse mackerel, implementation of the landing obligation and technical measures. It is of particular importance that the Commission carries out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level, and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making*. In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council receive all documents at the same time as Member States' experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. To the extent possible, the Commission shall take into account the views of the experts of the Member States in its delegated acts.
