D. whereas still around 38 % of stocksdespite the huge drop in fishing pressure which according to the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has been reduced almost by half in the last 20 years on average for all the stocks evaluated in the North-East Atlantic and, still around 9238 % in the Mediterranof stocks in this arean are overexploited, according to the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), despite the legal requirement to stop overfishing by 2020; . However, these stocks represent a small portion of the total landings. In the Mediterranean, according to the Commission for the Mediterranean(GFCM) 2018 report on The State of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, the percentage of overexploited fish stocks decreased from 88 percent in 2014 to 78percent in 2016, and to 62.5 percent in 2017 according to the SOFIA report 2020 (http://www.fao.org/gfcm/news/detail/en/c /1174318/);

Calls on the Commission to continue to support plans to improve selectivity and to take into account the results of studies showing the detrimental impacts of fishing techniques such as bottom-contacting gear or fish aggregating devices (FADs) by strongly limiting their usedemonstrating the advantages of gear that has a positive effect on ecosystems and selectivity;

Paragraph 13
13. Calls for MPAs to be established as part of a coherent network of connected areas, including offshore and deep-sea areas; recalls the requirement to cease fishing with bottom-contacting gear below 400 m in areas where vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) are known to exist or are likely to occur;

Amendment 182 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Recognises that the success of MPAs and other protected areas lies in them being accepted and embraced by fishers, coastal communities and other stakeholdersrational, justified by science and not simply established to reach a quota, thereby the need for cost-benefit analyses, monitoring and enforcement. In order for MPAs to be accepted by fishers, coastal communities and other stakeholders they need to understand why, how and what must be protected; calls therefore for the inclusion of the fisheries sector, including its artisanal component, as well as other relevant stakeholders, such as fisheries management bodies, in the design, management and monitoring of MPAs;
Amendment 191 #

Paragraph 17

Paragraph 19
Paragraph 19
19. Stresses that rapid and strong action to fight climate change is essential for the preservation of healthy fish populations, and therefore for the continuity of fishing activity and for food security in the long term; Recalls that according to Article 2 of the Paris Agreement, parties shall aim at increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that does not threaten food production;
