Recital 7
(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. In accordance with those provisions, the multi-annual plan provided for in this Regulation should contain objectives, quantifiable targets with clear timeframes, conservation reference points, safeguards and technical measures designed to avoid and reduce unwanted catches and minimise the impact on the marine environment.

Recital 12
(12) The STECF has shown that exploitation of most demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean exceeds by far the levels required to achieve MSY, and that over-exploitation poses a high biological risk that these stocks will collapse.

Recital 17
Recital 17
(17) The objective of the plan provided for in this Regulation should be to contribute to the achievement of the CFP, and in particular, reachstoring and maintaining fish stocks above levels of biomass capable of producing MSY for the target stocks, implementing the landing obligation for demersal stocks subject to minimum conservation reference size, and promoting a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing activities, bearing in mind coastal fisheries and socio- economic aspects. It should also implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in order to minimisby reducing, and when possible eliminating, the negative impaeffects of fishing activities oin the marine ecosystem. It should be coherent with the Union’s environmental legislation, in particular the objective of achieving good environmental status by 2020 (in accordance withnvironment. That plan should also contribute to the achievement of good environmental status, as laid down in Directive 2008/56/EC28 ) and the objectives of Directive 2009/147/ECo the achievement of favourable conservation status for habitats and species as required by Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council29 and the Council Directive 92/43/EEC30 respectively. _________________ 28 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) 29 Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds (OJ L 20, 26.1.2010, p. 7). 30 Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora (OJ L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7).

Article 3 – paragraph 1
1. The plan shall contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the common fisheries policy, as listed in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, in particular by applying the precautionary approach to fisheries management, and shall aim to ensure that exploitation of living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce MSY. The maximum sustainable yield exploitation rates shall be achieved as soon as possible and on a progressive, incremental basis by 2020 at the latest for all stocks to wich this Regulation applies, and maintained thereafter.

Article 3 – paragraph 3
3. The plan shall implement the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in order to ensure that negative impacts of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem, and in particular on vulnerable habitats and protected species, including marine mammals, reptiles and seabirds, are minimised. It shall be coherent with Union environmental legislation, in particular with the objective of achieving good environmental status by 2020 as set out in Article 1(1) of Directive 2008/56/EC and the objectives set out in Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 2009/147/EC and Articles 6 and 12 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC.

5. Where the best available scientific advice shows significant catches of a particular stock with fishing gears other than trawls, fishing effort levels shall be set for such particular gear or gears on the basis of such scientific advice.
Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 7 – paragraph 6
Article 7 – paragraph 6
6. Where the best available scientific advice shows that recreational fisheries have a significant impact on the fishing mortality of a particular stock, the Council may limit recreational fisheries when setting fishing opportunities in order to avoid exceeding the total target of fishing mortality.
