Recital 6
(6) The Implementation Plan agreed by the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002 states that all commercial stocks for which it is possible to do so should be restored to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield by 2015. ICES deems, on the basis of the real prerequisites for sustainable growth, that for the Baltic salmon river stocks this level corresponds to a smolt production level between 60% and 75 % of the potential smolt production capacity for the different wild salmon rivers. Such scientific advice should constitute the basis for setting the objectives and targets of the multiannual plan. In duly justified cases, consideration could be given to setting higher target production levels for individual rivers.

(12) Scientific advice states that inappropriate stocking procedures may have significant implications on the genetic diversity of the Baltic salmon stock and that t. There is a also risk that the large number of reared fish released to the Baltic Sea every year iscould affecting the genetic integrity of the wild salmon and should be phased out. Tpopulations. In view of this, stocking should be subject to tighter controls. Furtherefmore, the condition of releases should be established in this multiannual plans governing the sourcing of genetic material for the breeding and rearing of salmon stocking material, as well as the conditions governing stocking procedures, should be established in this multiannual plan, in order to ensure that stocking does not have an adverse effect on genetic diversity.

(14) However, since releases of salmon may be aother than stocking and direct present mandatory in certain Member States and in order to give Member States time to adjust to these requirements, releases of salmon other than stocking and direct restocking should remain allowed during a transitional period of seven years following the entry into force of this Regulationtocking should not continue to be allowed for more than 10 years if, by the end of that period, wild smolt production has reached 80% of the potential smolt production capacity in a given river. If that target is not reached, releases of salmon other than stocking and direct restocking may continue for a further 10 years once the Member State concerned has analysed and removed the causes of the failure to reach it. Releases of salmon may be at present mandatory in certain Member States and the Member States need to be given time to adjust to these requirements.

(16) A substantial part of the coastal vessels fishing for salmon are below 10 m in length. For this reason tThe use of fishing logbooks as requested by Article 14 and prior notification as requested by Article 17 of Regulation (EC) 1224/2009 should be extended to cover all vesselsmandatory for vessels over 8 m in length.
