Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Commission to provide for the establishment of long-term management plans based on the multi- species approach for all EU fisheries; highlights the possibility of grouping fisheries according to geographical fishing regions whereby the specificities of the different European seas should be taken into account and a separate regime should apply to small-scale coastal fisheries; believes that there should be a possibility for investments in new landing sites and start-up packages in order to secure a new generation of fishermen entering into small-scale fisheries;
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Calls on the Commission in the future to use the ecosystem approach as a basis for all long-term management plans (LTMPs), with clearly defined objectives and harvest control rules playing a pivotal role in each plan, whereby the latter is to lay down rules for determining annual fishing effort taking into account the difference between the current stock size and structure of the fishery and the target stock objective, as well as the technical specifics of the stock usage in the region; urges the Council in this regard to follow the objectives of the LTMPs without exception;
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Stresses the need for a balance between the ecological and the, economic and socialo- economic situation in each fishery and emphasises that it is very important that European fishermen accept harvest control rules, and therefore calls for wide participation by representatives of Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) and other relevant stakeholders when establishing management plans; considers that in the future RACs should play a much greater role in this process;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 7
Paragraph 7
7. Underlines the direct link between discards, unwanted by-catch and overfishing, and the need to develop an efficient no-discards policy at EU level whereby the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) should have greater powers to ensure a fair system of rules and sanctions, i.e. the principle of equal treatment; argues that a discard ban should be fishery-basedbased on fisheries in a particular region and the economic justification for imposition of the ban and not relate to different fish stocks; stresses that selected fishing gear and other devices which reduce or eliminate by-catches of non- targeted species, as well as other sustainable fishing methods, should be promoted; underlines the importance of addressing the management of mixed fisheries to this end;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 12
Paragraph 12
12. Urges the Member States to carry out mandatory cuts to achieve set targets for a sustainable level of capacity for every fishery so as to tackle the remaining significant overcapacity of the fishing fleets, on the one hand, by offering additional EU support measures for the fleets of the Member States that have achieved the objectives, but with sanctions for failure to meet the targets, i.e. the freezing of funds from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF);
