  The European Parliament adopted by 622 votes to 40, with 21 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. It adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the result of a compromise negotiated between the European Parliament and the Council. They amend the proposal as follows: - the compromise text stipulates that in view of the forthcoming reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and its relevance for the content and scope of new permanent technical measures, it is appropriate to delay the adoption of such measures until a new legislative framework is in place; - in order to maintain the proper conservation and management of marine resources, and given that it can reasonably be expected that a new legislative framework will apply as from 1 January 2013, the technical measures currently in force should continue to apply until that date. Consequently, since the temporary technical measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 will cease to apply from 1 July 2011, that Regulation should be amended to extend their validity until 31 December 2012; - lastly, given that fishing quotas for Boarfish (Caproidae) were established for the first time under Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011, the amended text states that it is therefore appropriate to clarify that boarfish may be targeted using towed nets with a mesh size range of 32 to 54 millimetres. Consequently, Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 should be amended accordingly.

  PURPOSE: to extend the application of Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 until 1 January 2013. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASE: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: in June 2008, the Commission made a proposal for a Council Regulation concerning the conservation of fisheries resources through technical measures. The proposal was intended to replace Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms and certain transitional technical measures as laid down in Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 establishing for 2009 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks. The proposed Council Regulation was not adopted before the date on which the measures provided for in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 ceased to apply. For reasons of legal certainty and in order to maintain the proper conservation and management of marine resources, Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011 was adopted, providing for the continuation of temporary technical measures catered for in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 for a transitional period of 18 months. In view of the new requirements of the Lisbon Treaty, the Commission withdrew in 2010 the proposal for a Council Regulation concerning the conservation of fisheries resources through technical measures. Basic principles on technical measures will be considered by the new basic regulation for the ongoing reform of the common fisheries policy, for which a proposal is envisaged during the third quarter of 2011. Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 will expire on 30 June 2011. Given the fact that there is no current legal act that could provide for permanent technical measures, and in order to ensure legal certainty and the conservation of marine resources, it is appropriate to extend the validity of the regulation for another 18 months, until 1 January 2013. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: the proposal has no financial implications for the budget of the European Union.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: the proposal has no financial implications for the budget of the European Union. celexid CELEX:52010PC0488:EN type Legislative proposal published title COM(2010)0488 body EC commission DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria type Legislative proposal date 2010-10-07 body EP type Committee referral announced in Parliament, 1st reading/single reading committees body EP responsible True committee PECH date 2010-09-29 committee_full Fisheries rapporteur group S&D name GRELIER Estelle date 2010-11-09 docs url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=COMPARL&mode=XML&language=EN&reference=PE452.609 type Committee draft report title PE452.609 body EP type Committee draft report body EP date 2010-12-15 type Deadline Amendments date 2011-01-19 docs url http://eescopinions.eesc.europa.eu/eescopiniondocument.aspx?language=EN&docnr=0069&year=2011 title CES0069/2011 type Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report celexid CELEX:52011AE0069:EN body ESOC type Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report date 2011-02-01 text The Committee on Fisheries adopted the report drafted by Estelle GRELIER (S&D, FR) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. It recommended that the European Parliament's position adopted at first reading, under the ordinary legislative procedure, should be to amend the Commission's proposal as follows: in the interests of clarity, it needs to be specified that the results of the trials and experiments are to be submitted to the Commission; the report also states that the adding of boar fish to Annex 1 of Council Regulation 850/98 removes any ambiguity that exists in the regulation as regards the appropriate mesh size to be used for fishing boar fish and also and more importantly adopts the advice given by STECF on the appropriate boar fish mesh size to be used. body EP committees body EP responsible True committee PECH date 2010-09-29 committee_full Fisheries rapporteur group S&D name GRELIER Estelle type Vote in committee, 1st reading/single reading date 2011-02-23 docs url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=REPORT&mode=XML&reference=A7-2011-0024&language=EN type Committee report tabled for plenary, 1st reading/single reading title A7-0024/2011 body EP committees body EP responsible True committee PECH date 2010-09-29 committee_full Fisheries rapporteur group S&D name GRELIER Estelle type Committee report tabled for plenary, 1st reading/single reading date 2011-04-05 body EP type Debate in Parliament date 2011-04-06 docs url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=TA&language=EN&reference=P7-TA-2011-0139 text The European Parliament adopted by 622 votes to 40, with 21 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. It adopted its position at first reading under the ordinary legislative procedure. The amendments adopted in plenary are the result of a compromise negotiated between the European Parliament and the Council. They amend the proposal as follows: - the compromise text stipulates that in view of the forthcoming reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and its relevance for the content and scope of new permanent technical measures, it is appropriate to delay the adoption of such measures until a new legislative framework is in place; - in order to maintain the proper conservation and management of marine resources, and given that it can reasonably be expected that a new legislative framework will apply as from 1 January 2013, the technical measures currently in force should continue to apply until that date. Consequently, since the temporary technical measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 will cease to apply from 1 July 2011, that Regulation should be amended to extend their validity until 31 December 2012; - lastly, given that fishing quotas for Boarfish (Caproidae) were established for the first time under Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011, the amended text states that it is therefore appropriate to clarify that boarfish may be targeted using towed nets with a mesh size range of 32 to 54 millimetres. Consequently, Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 should be amended accordingly. type Decision by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading title T7-0139/2011 url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/popups/sda.do?id=19499&l=en type Results of vote in Parliament title Results of vote in Parliament body EP type Text adopted by Parliament, 1st reading/single reading date 2011-04-06 docs url http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/spdoc.do?i=19499&j=0&l=en type Commission response to text adopted in plenary title SP(2011)4619 body EC commission DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria type Commission response to text adopted in plenary body CSL date 2011-04-11 type CSL Final Agreement date 2011-05-17 body type Act adopted by Council after Parliament's 1st reading date 2011-05-17 body CSL type Council Meeting council Agriculture and Fisheries meeting_id 3087 date 2011-06-08 body type Final act signed date 2011-06-08 body EP type End of procedure in Parliament date 2011-06-24 text PURPOSE: to extend the application of technical measures in Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 until 31 December 2012 in order to maintain the proper conservation and management of marine resources. LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) No 579/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms and Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. CONTENT: following an agreement at first reading with the European Parliament, the Council amended Regulation (EC) n° 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. The United Kingdom and Portugal voted against. This text provides for an extension of the implementation period of the regulation for the conservation of fisheries resources through technical measures. Given that Regulation (EC) No1288/2009 will expire on 30 June 2011, and that there is no current legal act that could provide for permanent technical measures, the text ensures legal certainty for these specific measures aiming at the conservation of marine resources by extending the validity of Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 for another 18 months, until 1 January 2013. However, basic principles concerning technical measures will be considered by the new basic regulation for the ongoing reform of the common fisheries policy. In addition, fishing quotas for Boarfish (Caproidae) were established for the first time under Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011. The new Regulation therefore clarifies that boarfish may be targeted using towed nets with a mesh size range of 32 to 54 millimetres. Consequently, Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 are amended accordingly.
