Recital 7 a (new)
(7a) The exploitation rule for setting the TAC proposed in the plan is based on estimates of spawning biomass for anchovy made in May and June of each year, immediately before the management period for the fishing season from 1 July to 30 June. If improvements are made to the scientific monitoring of the stock, enabling a sufficiently reliable prediction to be made of recruitment at the start of each year, it may be possible to improve the exploitation strategy for the fishery that would justify adapting this long-term plan for anchovy.

Article 3 - point e
Article 3 - point e
(e) "current biomass" means the median size of the biomass of the anchovy stock in a fishing season. by reference to the May-June period immediately preceding the start of the fishing season for which the TAC is to be set.

Article 3 - point e a (new)
Article 3 - point e a (new)
(ea) "monitoring system for the anchovy stock" means the procedures for the direct assessment of the anchovy stock that will enable the STECF to establish the level of current biomass. Those procedures currently consist of the acoustic surveys in May and June and the daily egg production method.

Article 4 - point b
(b) to guarantee, as far as possible, the long-term stability of the fishery, which is a prerequisite for ensuring the economic and ecological sustainability of the fisheries sector, while maintaining a low risk of stock collapse.
Amendment 28 #

Article 5 - paragraph 2
Article 5 - paragraph 2
2. Where, due to lack of sufficiently accurate and representative information, the STECF is not able to give an advice on the current biomass, the TAC and quotas shall be as follows: (a) where STECF advises that the catches of anchovy should be reduced to the lowest possible level, the TAC and quotas shall be set at zero; (b) in those cases where STECF advises that stock is decreasing or a reduction of the fishing effort is needed or similar considerations arise, the TAC and quotas shall correspond to a reduction of 25% compared to the TAC and quotas applicable for the previous fishing season; (bc) in all other cases, the TAC and quotas shall correspond to the level of tonnes applicable for the previous fishing season.
Amendment 35 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 14 - paragraph 2
Article 14 - paragraph 2
2. The competent authorities of a Member State in which a landing of more than one tonne of anchovy is to be made may require that the discharge of catch retained on board shall not commence until authorized by those authorities. However, the landings should not in any event be postponed or delayed beyond the time at which the fish quality or sale value is reduced.
