- T7-0253/2012 summary
  
  The European Parliament adopted by 593 votes to 10 with 7 abstentions legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. Parliament adopted its position in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure. The main amendments are as follows: Definitions: Parliament amended the meaning of herring stock in the area west of Scotland which is defined as the stock of herring (clupea harengus) distributed to the west of Scotland which currently inhabits Union and international waters of ICES zones Vb and VIb and the part of ICES zone VIa which lies east of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 55°N, or west of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 56°, excluding the Clyde. Delegated acts and ordinary legislative procedure: Members amend the text to state explicitly that any amendment to the multi-annual plan, apart from the exception specified in the text on revision of maximum fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels, must be adopted via the ordinary legislative procedure. Delegated acts are limited as to their scope to the modification of fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels and may be adopted only if the conditions specified in the text are fulfilled. Scientific advice: Parliament clarified the text to ensure that the Commission should be obliged to use scientific data from the STECF and to consult the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council before taking any decision on adopting delegated acts fixing new values for fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels. The STECF and the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council should also be mandatorily involved in the process of evaluating the multi-annual plan.

  The Committee on Fisheries adopted a report by Struan STEVENSON (ECR, UK) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. The committee recommends that the position of the European Parliament in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the Commission proposal. The main amendments are as follows: Definitions : the committee amended the meaning of herring stock in the area west of Scotland which is defined as the stock of herring (clupea harengus)distributed to the west of Scotland which currently inhabits Union and international waters of ICES zones Vb and VIb and the part of ICES zone VIa which lies east of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 55°N, or west of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 56°, excluding the Clyde. Members state that the current definition seems more appropriate than the one proposed by the Commission, which would only refer to Scottish waters. The purpose of the modification of Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 is not to extend the geographical area of application of the latter. The current restriction concerning ICES zone VIa has thus been re-introduced. Delegated acts and ordinary legislative procedure: Members consider that it should be explicitly stated that any amendment to the multi-annual plan, apart from the exception specified in the text on revision of maximum fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels, would have to be adopted via the ordinary legislative procedure. Delegated acts are limited as to their scope to the modification of fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels and may be adopted only if the conditions specified in the text are fulfilled. Scientific advice: the committee clarified the text to ensure that the Commission should be obliged to use scientific data from the STECF and to consult the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council before taking any decision on adopting delegated acts fixing new values for fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels. The STECF and the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council should also be mandatorily involved in the process of evaluating the multi-annual plan.

  PURPOSE: to identify the powers to be delegated to the Commission in Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock, and establish the corresponding procedure for adoption of these acts and adapt certain provisions to the decision-making procedures of the Lisbon Treaty. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: The objective of this proposal is to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. This act was adopted prior to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Plan has as its core objective to ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield. Science may evolve and improve, and the Plan needs to contain the necessary provisions to ensure it is kept up to date with the best science available. Thus, Article 7 of the Regulation stipulates that if it appears that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels used for the purposes of the Plan are no longer appropriate in light of scientific advice, the Council must revise such parameters so as to ensure that the plan can attain its management objectives. The current text therefore confers the power to amend these non-essential elements of the Plan on the Council. Such decision-making procedure is no longer possible under the TFEU. Similarly, Article 8 provides for modification by the Council of certain elements of the plan (including the biological reference levels) and for adoption by the Council of measures alternative or additional to the plan. By way of consequence, the decision-making procedure foreseen in Article 7 and 8 of the Regulation should be converted into a system of delegated powers to be exercised by the Commission under the conditions set out in the Plan itself and where the analysis has shown that the currently envisaged procedures may be qualified as delegated powers in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU. The Plan should therefore be amended accordingly. BUDGETARY IMPACT: the proposal has no impact on the EUs budget.

activities/0/commission	added	DG url http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/maritimeaffairs_fisheries/ title Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria
activities/0/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old OBJECTIF : définir les pouvoirs qui seront délégués à la Commission par le règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 du Conseil établissant un plan pluriannuel pour le stock de hareng présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et les pêcheries qui exploitent ce stock, mettre en place la procédure d'adoption respective de ces actes et adapter certaines dispositions aux procédures de prise de décision du traité de Lisbonne. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Règlement du Parlement européen et du Conseil. ANALYSE D’IMPACT : la Commission n’a pas eu recours à l’analyse d’impact. BASE JURIDIQUE : Article 43, paragraphe 2, du traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : la présente proposition vise à modifier le règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 établissant un plan pluriannuel pour le stock de hareng présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et les pêcheries qui exploitent ce stock. Cet acte a été adopté avant l'entrée en vigueur du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). L'objectif central du plan est de garantir que le stock de hareng de la zone située à l'ouest de l'Écosse soit exploité selon le principe de la prise maximale équilibrée. La science peut évoluer et s'améliorer, et le plan doit prévoir les dispositions nécessaires afin de garantir son actualisation avec les meilleures données scientifiques disponibles. L'article 7 du règlement dispose que s’il apparaît que les taux de mortalité par pêche et les niveaux de biomasse du stock reproducteur correspondants utilisés aux fins du plan ne sont plus appropriés sur la base d'un avis scientifique, le Conseil doit réviser ces paramètres afin de faire en sorte que le plan puisse atteindre ses objectifs en matière de gestion. Le texte actuel confère donc la compétence de modifier ces éléments non essentiels du plan au Conseil. Cette procédure de prise de décision n’est plus possible en vertu du TFUE. De même, l'article 8 prévoit la modification, par le Conseil, de certains éléments du plan (y compris les niveaux de référence biologiques) et l'adoption par le Conseil de mesures de substitution ou supplémentaires par rapport au plan. Par voie de conséquence, il est proposé de convertir la procédure de prise de décision prévue aux articles 7 et 8 du règlement en un système de pouvoirs délégués exercés par la Commission, dans les conditions prévues dans le plan lui-même et dans le cas où l'analyse a montré que les procédures envisagées actuellement peuvent être qualifiées de pouvoirs délégués conformément à l’article 290 du traité TFUE. Le plan doit donc être modifié en conséquence. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n’a pas d’incidence sur le budget de l’UE. New PURPOSE: to identify the powers to be delegated to the Commission in Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock, and establish the corresponding procedure for adoption of these acts and adapt certain provisions to the decision-making procedures of the Lisbon Treaty. PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: The objective of this proposal is to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. This act was adopted prior to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Plan has as its core objective to ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield. Science may evolve and improve, and the Plan needs to contain the necessary provisions to ensure it is kept up to date with the best science available. Thus, Article 7 of the Regulation stipulates that if it appears that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels used for the purposes of the Plan are no longer appropriate in light of scientific advice, the Council must revise such parameters so as to ensure that the plan can attain its management objectives. The current text therefore confers the power to amend these non-essential elements of the Plan on the Council. Such decision-making procedure is no longer possible under the TFEU. Similarly, Article 8 provides for modification by the Council of certain elements of the plan (including the biological reference levels) and for adoption by the Council of measures alternative or additional to the plan. By way of consequence, the decision-making procedure foreseen in Article 7 and 8 of the Regulation should be converted into a system of delegated powers to be exercised by the Commission under the conditions set out in the Plan itself and where the analysis has shown that the currently envisaged procedures may be qualified as delegated powers in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU. The Plan should therefore be amended accordingly. BUDGETARY IMPACT: the proposal has no impact on the EU’s budget.

activities/6/docs/0/text/0	changed	Old La commission de la pêche a adopté le rapport de Struan STEVENSON (ECR, UK) sur la proposition de règlement du Parlement européen et du Conseil modifiant le règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 du Conseil du 18 décembre 2008 établissant un plan pluriannuel pour le stock de hareng présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et les pêcheries qui exploitent ce stock. La commission parlementaire recommande que la position du Parlement européen adoptée en première lecture suivant la procédure législative ordinaire modifie la proposition de la Commission comme suit : Définition : la commission compétente a précisé la définition de «stock de hareng de la zone située à l'ouest de l'Écosse», à savoir le stock de hareng (Clupea harengus) présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et évoluant actuellement dans les eaux de l'Union et les eaux internationales des zones CIEM V b et VI b, ainsi que dans la partie de la zone CIEM VI a qui se trouve à l'est du méridien de longitude 7°O et au nord du parallèle de latitude 55°N, ou à l'ouest du méridien de longitude 7°O et au nord du parallèle de latitude 56°N, à l'exception de la Clyde. Les députés estiment que la définition actuelle est plus appropriée sur le plan linguistique que celle proposée par la Commission, car celle-ci ne fait référence qu'aux eaux écossaises. L'objectif de la modification du règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 n'est pas d'étendre la zone géographique d'application de celui-ci. La limitation actuelle qui concerne la zone CIEM VI a donc été réintroduite. Actes délégués et procédure législative ordinaire : le pouvoir d'adopter des actes délégués conformément à l'article 290 du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne devrait être délégué à la Commission aux fins de la révision des taux maximaux de mortalité par pêche et des niveaux de biomasse du stock reproducteur correspondants, lorsque des données scientifiques indiquent que ces valeurs ne sont plus appropriées pour atteindre l'objectif du plan. Le CSTEP et le conseil consultatif régional pour les stocks pélagiques devraient être tenus de participer au processus d'évaluation du plan pluriannuel.

Les actes délégués doivent être limités quant à leur portée en matière de modification des coefficients de mortalité par pêche et des niveaux de biomasse du stock reproducteur et ne peuvent être adoptés que si les conditions visées à l'article 7 sont remplies. Données scientifiques et avis consultatif : la Commission devrait être tenue d'utiliser les données scientifiques du CSTEP et de consulter le conseil consultatif régional pour les stocks pélagiques avant de prendre la décision d'adopter les actes délégués au moyen desquels elle fixe de nouvelles valeurs pour les coefficients de mortalité par pêche et les niveaux de biomasse du stock reproducteur. New The Committee on Fisheries adopted a report by Struan STEVENSON (ECR, UK) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. The committee recommends that the position of the European Parliament in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the Commission proposal. The main amendments are as follows: Definitions : the committee amended the meaning of “herring stock in the area west of Scotland” which is defined as the stock of herring (clupea harengus)distributed to the west of Scotland which currently inhabits Union and international waters of ICES zones Vb and VIb and the part of ICES zone VIa which lies east of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 55°N, or west of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 56°, excluding the Clyde. Members state that the current definition seems more appropriate than the one proposed by the Commission, which would only refer to Scottish waters. The purpose of the modification of Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 is not to extend the geographical area of application of the latter. The current restriction concerning ICES zone VIa has thus been re-introduced. Delegated acts and ordinary legislative procedure: Members consider that it should be explicitly stated that any amendment to the multi-annual plan, apart from the exception specified in the text on revision of maximum fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels, would have to be adopted via the ordinary legislative procedure. Delegated acts are limited as to their scope to the modification of fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels and may be adopted only if the conditions specified in the text are fulfilled. Scientific advice: the committee clarified the text to ensure that the Commission should be obliged to use scientific data from the STECF and to consult the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council before taking any decision on adopting delegated acts fixing new values for fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels. The STECF and the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council should also be mandatorily involved in the process of evaluating the multi-annual plan.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: The objective of this proposal is to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. This act was adopted prior to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Plan has as its core objective to ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield. Science may evolve and improve, and the Plan needs to contain the necessary provisions to ensure it is kept up to date with the best science available. Thus, Article 7 of the Regulation stipulates that if it appears that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels used for the purposes of the Plan are no longer appropriate in light of scientific advice, the Council must revise such parameters so as to ensure that the plan can attain its management objectives. The current text therefore confers the power to amend these non-essential elements of the Plan on the Council. Such decision-making procedure is no longer possible under the TFEU. Similarly, Article 8 provides for modification by the Council of certain elements of the plan (including the biological reference levels) and for adoption by the Council of measures alternative or additional to the plan. By way of consequence, the decision-making procedure foreseen in Article 7 and 8 of the Regulation should be converted into a system of delegated powers to be exercised by the Commission under the conditions set out in the Plan itself and where the analysis has shown that the currently envisaged procedures may be qualified as delegated powers in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU. The Plan should therefore be amended accordingly. BUDGETARY IMPACT: the proposal has no impact on the EU’s budget. title COM(2011)0760 type Legislative proposal published celexid CELEX:52011PC0760:EN body EC commission DG url http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/maritimeaffairs_fisheries/ title Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria type Legislative proposal

New OBJECTIF : définir les pouvoirs qui seront délégués à la Commission par le règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 du Conseil établissant un plan pluriannuel pour le stock de hareng présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et les pêcheries qui exploitent ce stock, mettre en place la procédure d'adoption respective de ces actes et adapter certaines dispositions aux procédures de prise de décision du traité de Lisbonne. ACTE PROPOSÉ : Règlement du Parlement européen et du Conseil. ANALYSE D’IMPACT : la Commission n’a pas eu recours à l’analyse d’impact. BASE JURIDIQUE : Article 43, paragraphe 2, du traité sur le fonctionnement de l’Union européenne (TFUE). CONTENU : la présente proposition vise à modifier le règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 établissant un plan pluriannuel pour le stock de hareng présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et les pêcheries qui exploitent ce stock. Cet acte a été adopté avant l'entrée en vigueur du traité sur le fonctionnement de l'Union européenne (TFUE). L'objectif central du plan est de garantir que le stock de hareng de la zone située à l'ouest de l'Écosse soit exploité selon le principe de la prise maximale équilibrée. La science peut évoluer et s'améliorer, et le plan doit prévoir les dispositions nécessaires afin de garantir son actualisation avec les meilleures données scientifiques disponibles. L'article 7 du règlement dispose que s’il apparaît que les taux de mortalité par pêche et les niveaux de biomasse du stock reproducteur correspondants utilisés aux fins du plan ne sont plus appropriés sur la base d'un avis scientifique, le Conseil doit réviser ces paramètres afin de faire en sorte que le plan puisse atteindre ses objectifs en matière de gestion. Le texte actuel confère donc la compétence de modifier ces éléments non essentiels du plan au Conseil. Cette procédure de prise de décision n’est plus possible en vertu du TFUE. De même, l'article 8 prévoit la modification, par le Conseil, de certains éléments du plan (y compris les niveaux de référence biologiques) et l'adoption par le Conseil de mesures de substitution ou supplémentaires par rapport au plan. Par voie de conséquence, il est proposé de convertir la procédure de prise de décision prévue aux articles 7 et 8 du règlement en un système de pouvoirs délégués exercés par la Commission, dans les conditions prévues dans le plan lui-même et dans le cas où l'analyse a montré que les procédures envisagées actuellement peuvent être qualifiées de pouvoirs délégués conformément à l’article 290 du traité TFUE. Le plan doit donc être modifié en conséquence. INCIDENCE BUDGÉTAIRE : la proposition n’a pas d’incidence sur le budget de l’UE.

La commission parlementaire recommande que la position du Parlement européen adoptée en première lecture suivant la procédure législative ordinaire modifie la proposition de la Commission comme suit : Définition : la commission compétente a précisé la définition de «stock de hareng de la zone située à l'ouest de l'Écosse», à savoir le stock de hareng (Clupea harengus) présent à l'ouest de l'Écosse et évoluant actuellement dans les eaux de l'Union et les eaux internationales des zones CIEM V b et VI b, ainsi que dans la partie de la zone CIEM VI a qui se trouve à l'est du méridien de longitude 7°O et au nord du parallèle de latitude 55°N, ou à l'ouest du méridien de longitude 7°O et au nord du parallèle de latitude 56°N, à l'exception de la Clyde. Les députés estiment que la définition actuelle est plus appropriée sur le plan linguistique que celle proposée par la Commission, car celle-ci ne fait référence qu'aux eaux écossaises. L'objectif de la modification du règlement (CE) n° 1300/2008 n'est pas d'étendre la zone géographique d'application de celui-ci.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: The objective of this proposal is to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. This act was adopted prior to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Plan has as its core objective to ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield. Science may evolve and improve, and the Plan needs to contain the necessary provisions to ensure it is kept up to date with the best science available. Thus, Article 7 of the Regulation stipulates that if it appears that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels used for the purposes of the Plan are no longer appropriate in light of scientific advice, the Council must revise such parameters so as to ensure that the plan can attain its management objectives. The current text therefore confers the power to amend these non-essential elements of the Plan on the Council. Such decision-making procedure is no longer possible under the TFEU. Similarly, Article 8 provides for modification by the Council of certain elements of the plan (including the biological reference levels) and for adoption by the Council of measures alternative or additional to the plan. By way of consequence, the decision-making procedure foreseen in Article 7 and 8 of the Regulation should be converted into a system of delegated powers to be exercised by the Commission under the conditions set out in the Plan itself and where the analysis has shown that the currently envisaged procedures may be qualified as delegated powers in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU. The Plan should therefore be amended accordingly.

The Committee on Fisheries adopted a report by Struan STEVENSON (ECR, UK) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. The committee recommends that the position of the European Parliament in first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure should be to amend the Commission proposal. The main amendments are as follows:

Definitions : the committee amended the meaning of “herring stock in the area west of Scotland” which is defined as the stock of herring (clupea harengus)distributed to the west of Scotland which currently inhabits Union and international waters of ICES zones Vb and VIb and the part of ICES zone VIa which lies east of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 55°N, or west of the meridian of longitude 7°W and north of the parallel of latitude 56°, excluding the Clyde.

Members state that the current definition seems more appropriate than the one proposed by the Commission, which would only refer to Scottish waters. The purpose of the modification of Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 is not to extend the geographical area of application of the latter. The current restriction concerning ICES zone VIa has thus been re-introduced.

Delegated acts and ordinary legislative procedure: Members consider that it should be explicitly stated that any amendment to the multi-annual plan, apart from the exception specified in the text on revision of maximum fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels, would have to be adopted via the ordinary legislative procedure. Delegated acts are limited as to their scope to the modification of fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels and may be adopted only if the conditions specified in the text are fulfilled.

Scientific advice: the committee clarified the text to ensure that the Commission should be obliged to use scientific data from the STECF and to consult the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council before taking any decision on adopting delegated acts fixing new values for fishing mortality rates and spawning stock biomass levels. The STECF and the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council should also be mandatorily involved in the process of evaluating the multi-annual plan.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out. LEGAL BASIS: Article 43(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). CONTENT: The objective of this proposal is to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock. This act was adopted prior to the entry into force of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The Plan has as its core objective to ensure the exploitation of the herring stock in the area west of Scotland on the basis of maximum sustainable yield. Science may evolve and improve, and the Plan needs to contain the necessary provisions to ensure it is kept up to date with the best science available. Thus, Article 7 of the Regulation stipulates that if it appears that the fishing mortality rates and associated spawning stock biomass levels used for the purposes of the Plan are no longer appropriate in light of scientific advice, the Council must revise such parameters so as to ensure that the plan can attain its management objectives. The current text therefore confers the power to amend these non-essential elements of the Plan on the Council. Such decision-making procedure is no longer possible under the TFEU. Similarly, Article 8 provides for modification by the Council of certain elements of the plan (including the biological reference levels) and for adoption by the Council of measures alternative or additional to the plan. By way of consequence, the decision-making procedure foreseen in Article 7 and 8 of the Regulation should be converted into a system of delegated powers to be exercised by the Commission under the conditions set out in the Plan itself and where the analysis has shown that the currently envisaged procedures may be qualified as delegated powers in accordance with Article 290 of the TFEU. The Plan should therefore be amended accordingly. BUDGETARY IMPACT: the proposal has no impact on the EU’s budget. title COM(2011)0760 type Legislative proposal published celexid CELEX:52011PC0760:EN type Legislative proposal body EC commission DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria date 2011-11-30 body EP type Committee referral announced in Parliament, 1st reading/single reading committees body EP responsible False committee_full Environment, Public Health and Food Safety committee ENVI body EP responsible True committee PECH date 2012-01-10 committee_full Fisheries rapporteur group ECR name STEVENSON Struan date 2012-01-18 docs url http://eescopinions.eesc.europa.eu/eescopiniondocument.aspx?language=EN&docnr=0153&year=2012 type Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report title CES0153/2012 body ESOC type Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report date 2012-04-24 body type Vote scheduled in committee, 1st reading/single reading body EP date 2012-04-24 type EP 1R Committee date 2012-05-21 body EP type Indicative plenary sitting date, 1st reading/single reading body EC date 2012-05-21 type Prev DG PRES commission DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Commissioner DAMANAKI Maria
