Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the decision adopted for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), notably 6.39 billion euros have been allocated to the fisheries sector and maritime policy for the period 2014-2020. Points out nonetheless that, despite the importance of fishing to many areas' economies, funding for fisheries policy - one of the few EU common policies - represents only 0.7% of the EU budget. These funds will help the fisheries sector to achieve sustainable fisheries, support coastal and island communities heavily dependent on fisheries to diversify their economies, improve the support hitherto given to small-scale fishing, and reach the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy.

Paragraph 3
3. Underlines of the importance of theeffective and independent research to evaluate the accurate state of fisheries stocks to calculate the maximum sustainable yield, earmarks of sustainable fisheries. The new basic regulation of the CFP adopted last year places a special emphasis on the conservation of resources to obtain the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This objective constitutes one of the core elements of the reformed CFP and implies an accurate and reliable knowledge of the state of stocks.

Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Stresses that since more than 60% of the supply of fisheries products to the EU comes from international waters and the exclusive economic zones of third countries, adequate and reliable budgetary provisions must be calculated in the annual budget for 2015. The external dimension of the CFP requires the continued inclusion of specific budgetary measures aimed at reinforcing and developing the European Union's participation in regional fisheries management organisations and at funding the conclusion of bilateral agreements with third countries.
