Recital 3
Recital 3
(3) The Common Fisheries Policy should ensure that fishing and aquaculture activities are cost-effective and contribute to long-term sustainable environmental, economic, and social conditions. It should contribute moreover to increased productivity, a fair standard of living for the fisheries sector, stable markets, ensure the availability of resources and that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices.

Recital 5
(5) At the World Summit on Sustainable Development at Johannesburg in 2002, the Union and its Member States committed to act against the continued decline of many fish stocks. Therefore, the Union should improve its Common Fisheries Policy to gradually ensure that as a matter of priority exploitation levels of marine biological resources stocks are restored and maintained at levels capable of producing maximum sustainable yields from the populations of harvested stocks by 2015. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield in fisheries where this is possible, or by 2020 in those where this is not possible, always on the basis of scientific data and criteria.

Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Whereas the Common Fisheries Policy will help to improve the conservation, management and exploitation of marine biological resources, prior to the implementation of its measures the European Commission shall draw up a European map of the state of fish stocks that includes an analysis of each Member State and its fishing rights.

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Measures are needed to gradually reduce and eliminate the current high levels of unwanted catches and discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries, on the basis of a fishery-by-fishery analysis and taking into account technical, regulatory and market reasons, so as to mitigate the socio-economic impact on the fishing sector and ensure long-term sustainability by avoiding the adoption of abrupt measures that destabilise the sector. An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established and gradually implemented.
Amendment 358 #

Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) A system of transferable fishing concessions could be an appropriate way to align the fleet and activity with available resources when the vessels concerned fish with towed gear, but it should not be applied to inshore or non- industrial fisheries, that is to say, a type of fishing which uses vessels of not more than 15 metres’ length, which supplies products to be consumed fresh and respects its surroundings and the craft tradition, which is rooted in, and socio- economically dependent on, its local context, which is family run in terms of both ownership and activity, and which uses types of gear that are environmentally friendly.

Recital 32
Recital 32
(32) For Union fishing vessels not operating under a system of transferable fishing concessions, specific measures may be taken to align the number of Union fishing vessels with available resources. Such measures should set compulsory maximum fleet capacity ceilings and establish national entry/exit schemes in relation to decommissioning funding granted under the EuropeaGiven that it is an appropriate means to that end, decommissioning aid should remain in place during the transitional period, since failure to provide it could delay the Member States’ capacity alignment and hence result in deviation from the objectives of the Common Fisheries Fund.

(32a) Bearing in mind the impact that these measures could have on the sector, with direct and indirect job losses, social aid should be provided, and coastal communities should pursue job creation plans based on innovation and diversification, both in economic and in employment terms, so as to enable the men and women affected by the reform to find alternative work.

Recital 40 a (new)
Recital 40 a (new)
(40a) Fisheries agreements between the EU and third countries should ensure that the environmental, economic, and social requirements applying to the fisheries from which imports originate are equivalent to those laid down within the Union, thus enabling Union products to compete with imports on equal terms, as well as extending the social and environmental development model in a responsible way. In addition, competition from third country products should be made fair both as regards compliance with working conditions and environmental standards and to the extent that they are obtained by legal, reported, and regulated fishing. It accordingly follows that third country products need to be placed on a footing of reciprocity in relation to the European Union.

(53) Dialogue with stakeholders has proven essential for the achievement of the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy, and this should continue to be promoted at local, regional, national and Union level. Taking into account the diverse conditions throughout Union waters and increased regionalisation of the Common Fisheries Policy, Advisory Councils should enable the Common Fisheries Policy to benefit from the knowledge and experience of all stakeholders.
