PECH
8 amendments...
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 7 (7) Producer organisations are the key actors for the appropriate application of the Common Fisheries Policy and the Common Market Organisation. It is therefore necessary to strengthen their objectives to ensure that their members carry out fishing and aquaculture activities in a sustainable manner, improve the placing on the market of products, and collect economic information on aquaculture. When realising these objectives, producer organisations should take account the different conditions of the fishery and aquaculture sectors prevailing in the Union, in particular the specificities of small-scale fisheries and extensive aquaculture.

2011/0195(COD) Common Fisheries Policy
2012/06/25
PECH
95 amendments...
Amendment 261 #
Proposal for a regulation 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 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, wherever possible and tailored to each fishery. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield.
Amendment 284 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) An ecosystem and maritime spatial planning based approach to fisheries management needs to be implemented,
Amendment 292 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) It is important that the management of the Common Fisheries Policy is guided by principles of good governance. Those principles include decision-making based on best available scientific advice, broad stakeholder involvement in shared management and shared responsibility and a long-term perspective. The successful management of the Common Fisheries Policy also depends on a clear definition of responsibilities at Union, national, regional and local levels and on the mutual compatibility and consistency of the measures taken with other Union policies.
Amendment 296 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11a) The Common Fisheries Policy should recognize, value and protect the role of women in fishing, both in activities dependent on small-scale coastal fishing and shellfishing, such as making and repairing fishing nets, processing and marketing activities, and in other activities providing logistical support to the fisheries sector, ensuring compliance with the principle of equality between men and women.
Amendment 308 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Rules in place restricting access to resources within the 12 nautical mile zones of Member States have operated satisfactorily benefiting conservation by restricting fishing effort in the most sensitive part of Union waters. Those rules have also preserved traditional fishing activities on which the social and economic development of certain coastal communities is highly dependent. Those rules should therefore continue to apply, reserving the 12 nautical miles for small- scale fishing in areas where this is possible.
Amendment 325 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 (16) The objective of sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources is more effectively achieved through a multi-annual approach to fisheries management, establishing as a priority multi-annual plans reflecting the biological specificities of different

Amendment 376 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) Member States should be in a position to present substantiated requests to the Commission to draw up measures under the Common Fisheries Policy for measures identified by Member States as necessary to comply with obligations as regards Special Protection Areas pursuant to Article 4 of Council Directive 2009/147/EC of 30 November 2009 on the conservation of wild birds, Special Areas of Conservation pursuant to Article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora and marine protected areas pursuant to Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive). The creation of a ‘Network of Marine Protected Areas’ will be proposed at European level for adoption on the basis of the intensity of fishing effort and the vulnerability of the species considered, as well as consistency with the different uses of the marine environment.
Amendment 379 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 25 (25) The Commission should be able to adopt temporary measures in the event of a serious threat, requiring immediate action, to the conservation of marine biological resources or to the marine ecosystem resulting from overfishing activities, the impact of certain urban projects on the marine environment, and pollution and climate effects. Should fishing activity be suspended or abandoned as a result of any of these temporary measures, social plans should be in place to compensate operators or encourage them to continue, as a priority measure, across the whole production process in the fishing sector.

Amendment 548 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 53 (53) Dialogue with stakeholders has proven essential for the achievement of the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy. Taking into account the diverse conditions throughout Union waters and increased regionalisation of the Common Fisheries Policy, Advisory Councils should be strengthened by including the fisheries sector, the different governing authorities and the scientific sector, in order to enable the Common Fisheries Policy to benefit from the knowledge and experience of all stakeholders.
Amendment 569 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 59 (59) To achieve the basic objective of the Common Fisheries Policy, namely to provide long-term sustainable environmental, economic and social conditions for the fishing and aquaculture sectors, and to contribute to the availability of food supplies, it is necessary and appropriate to lay down rules on the conservation and exploitation of marine biological resources, as well as rules that ensure the economic and social sustainability of the European Union fishing and shell-fishing sector.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 3 a (new) (3a) The Members States should have the opportunity to use ESF-resources so as to complete the actions of the EGF in cases workers made redundant as a result of serious disruption of the local, regional or national economy caused by an unexpected crises or as result of a rapid declining in a given sector or a delocalisation of activities to non EU member states with a significant adverse impact on the local, regional or national economy;
Amendment 39 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 (4) The European Union is confronted with structural challenges arising from economic globalisation, technological change and an increasingly ageing workforce and growing skills and labour shortages in some sectors and regions. They have been compounded by the recent economic and financial crisis, which has resulted in increased levels of unemployment, hitting in particular young people and other vulnerable groups, such as migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. The ESF should aim to promote quality employment with particular attention to those who are the furthest from the labour market and support labour mobility, invest in education, skills and life-long learning, promote social inclusion

By pursuing its primary thematic objectives, the ESF should contribute to addressing these challenges. In this context, the ESF should support the labour force transition towards greener skills and jobs, in particular in the energy efficiency, renewable energy and sustainable transport sectors, taking into account the Union's intention to increase the proportion of the EU budget that is related to climate mainstreaming to at least 20%, with contributions from different policy fields.ESF should also contribute to cultural and creative skills in order to increase job opportunities.

Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.2 – Paragraph 1.2.1 1.2.1 The principle of sustainable development, as laid down in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), relates to a concept of progress according to which social, economic and environmental considerations are to be integrated when considering well-being and a better quality of life for the present and future generations. Sustainable development requires compliance with the environmental acquis. Moreover, it should be demonstrated that overall investment results in net benefits for society. (Addition of the second phrase to Art. 1.2.1 at the end.)
Amendment 1893 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.2 – Paragraph 1.2.2 1.2.2 Sustainable Development considerations as well as the polluter pays principle must, therefore, be an integral part of every plan, from design to delivery, and monitoring to evaluation. Member States and regions should provide timely and comprehensive information on the amount of climate related expenditure in accordance with the methodology set out in the Common Provisions Regulation. Member States and regions should track biodiversity- related expenditure based on the proposed reporting arrangements. Progress in the implementation of the horizontal principles laid down in Article 8 of this Regulation should be demonstrated by applying horizontal indicators. As a general rule, those who cause environmental damage should bear the costs of avoiding it or compensating for it, and funding should not be used to meet the costs of complying with existing legislation.

Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.3 – Paragraph 1.3.3 1.3.3 Higher participation of women in the labour market, both as employers and employees, would invigorate the Union's economy. Unblocking the potential for such an increase in activity, by increasing the female employment rate is crucial for reaching the Europe 2020 employment targets of 75% employment rate for women and men. Barriers to women's labour market participation, must, therefore, be fully addressed through, inter alia, reduction of labour market segmentation by occupation and sector by, amongst others, encouraging a better participation of women in the field of R & D and including female workers into training and vocational training in 'green jobs'; Member States and regions must ensure with specific actions that in addition to the ESF, the ERDF, the CF, the EMFF and the EAFRD also finance activities that promote women's economic independence, contribute to attaining an appropriate balance between work and family life, and that advance women's opportunities as entrepreneurs. (Changes to the second part of paragraph 1.3.3.)

Amendment 1942 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 1 – Section 1.6 – Paragraph 1.6.4 Community-led local development (based on the experience of LEADER under rural development) can complement and enhance the delivery of public policies for all CSF Funds. It aims at increasing effectiveness and efficiency of territorial development strategies by delegating decision-making and implementation to a local partnership of public, private and civil society actors. Community-led local development should be implemented in the context of a strategic approach followed by public policy-makers, to ensure that the 'bottom- up' definition of local needs takes into account priorities set at higher levels. Member States, in close cooperation with the partners referred to in Article 5 of this Regulation, will therefore have to define their approach to community-led local development across the CSF Funds. Under the EAFRD, LEADER will continue to be a compulsory element in each rural development programme. Existing LEADER groups should be able to continue successful development strategies. (Add the second block of sentences at the end of 1.6.4)

Amendment 1975 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 2 – Section 2.4 – Paragraph 2.4.1 2.4.1 The synergies between the Funds covered by the CPR and the ‘Erasmus for All’ programme must be ensured in order to maximise the efficiency of the tools developed and the social and economic impact of investment in people. That synchronised investment will benefit both individuals and society as a whole by contributing to growth and prosperity, providing a better intercultural understanding, giving access to a wide range of education and training actions, both formal and informal, and giving impulses to youth initiatives, citizens actions and directed to all generations. The new education programme as proposed by the Commission ‘Erasmus for All’ supports mainly transnational projects, whereas cohesion Policy has a more pronounced regional dimension. Member States and Regions are encouraged to test tools and methods resulting from transnational cooperation through ‘Erasmus for All’ and then to implement them on their territory through Funds covered by the CPR.
Amendment 1976 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 2 – Section 2.4 – Paragraph 2.4.2 2.4.2 The Commission and Member States must ensure effective coordination between cohesion policy and ‘Erasmus for All’ through a clear distinction in the types of investment and target groups supported. ‘Erasmus for All’ shall focus its support on transnational projects including the mobility of students, youth and staff; on strategic partnerships between organisations and institutions across Europe and on actions supporting policy development and implementation. The primary investment priority targets for cohesion policy will respond to the need to ensure a complementary action to 'Erasmus for all" in the fields of: education (support of infrastructures of kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, universities), labour market training (to make sure all adults in search for work or a change in their career can be supported, (like it used to be under the sub-programme Leonardo da Vinci, action PLM People in the Labour Market) and adult learners in general.

Amendment 1982 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex -I (new) – Part 2 – Section 2.4a new – Paragraph 2.4a 4 (new) 2.4a 4 In order to ensure complementarity, actions under PSCI should be closely coordinated with those undertaken in the framework of cohesion policy. Member states should coordinate corresponding actions under the CSF Funds, in particular under the ESF and the ERDF, with actions of the PSCI-pillar microfinance, which aim at increasing access to and the availability of microfinance to persons who have lost or are at risk of losing their jobs, or having difficulties in entering or re-entering the labour market, as well as to persons who are at risk of social exclusion and vulnerable persons in disadvantaged positions with regard to access to the conventional credit market and wishing to start up or develop their own micro- enterprises, including self-employment, without any discrimination regarding age, as well as to micro-enterprises, especially in the social economy, and micro- enterprises which employ the furthest persons from the labour market.

Particular attention should be paid to ensuring adequate representation for women and minority groups. This partnership concerns regional, local and other public authorities, as well as other appropriate bodies, including those responsible for the environment and for the promotion of equality between men and women, the economic and social partners at all levels of governance and other competent bodies. The partners concerned should be involved in the preparation of Partnership Contracts, as well as in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programming.
Amendment 108 #
