Recital 26
(26) Where scientific advice shows that the fishing effort regime is not sufficient to meet the objectives or targets of the plan provided for in this Regulation, management measures based on total allowable catchwhere appropriate, technical measures that allow for the improvement of the stock status by reducing the fishing mortality of the target species should be introduced in order to complement the effort regime.

Recital 28
Recital 28
(28) In order to protect nursery areas and sensitive habitats, and safeguard small- scale fisheries, the coastal zone should be regularly reserved for more selective fisheries. Therefore, the plan provided for in this Regulation should establish a closure for trawls operating within the 100 m isobath for three months each year on a case-by-case basis, when necessary and justified by science, through regionalisation.

Article 4 – paragraph 1
1. The target fishing mortality in line with the ranges of FMSY defined in Article 2 shall be achieved as soon as possible, and on a progressive, incremental basis by 2020in five years from the entry into force of this regulation for the stocks concerned, and shall be maintained thereafter within the ranges of FMSY.

Article 6 – paragraph 1
Article 6 – paragraph 1
1. Where the scientific advice shows that the spawning biomass of any of the stocks concerned is below the precautionary reference point (BPA), remedial measures shall be adopted to ensure the rapid return of the stocks concerned to levels above those capable of producing MSY. In particular, by way of derogation from Article 4(3) and (5), fishing opportunitieffort measures shall be set at levels consistent with a fishing mortality that is reduced within the range of FMSY for the most vulnerable stock, taking into account the decrease in biomass.
Amendment 187 #

Article 6 – paragraph 2
Article 6 – paragraph 2
2. Where the scientific advice shows that the spawning biomass of any of the stocks concerned is below the limit reference point (BLIM), further remedial measures shall be taken to ensure the rapid return of the stock to levels above those capable of producing MSY. In particular, by way of derogation from Article 4(3) and (5), those measures may include suspending the targeted fishery for the stock concerned and the adequate reduction of the fishing opportunitieffort measures.
