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.
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.
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 députés souhaitent indiquer explicitement que tout amendement au plan pluriannuel, (sauf l'exception prévue à l'article 7), devra être adopté selon la procédure législative ordinaire. 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.
Le Parlement européen a adopté par 593 voix pour, 10 voix contre et 7 abstentions, une résolution législative 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.

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.
