GENERAL PRINCIPLES 1) Language If a language other than an official ICCAT language (English, French and Spanish) is used in completing the catch document, the English translation must be attached to it. 2) Numbering Member States must develop unique numbering systems for catch documents using their ISO 2-alpha country code in combination with a number consisting of at least eight digits, of which at least two digits should indicate the year of catch. Example: FR-09-123456 (where FR stands for France) In the case of split lots or processed products, copies of the original catch document must be numbered by supplementing the number of the original Baitboat Gillnet Handline Harpoon Longline Mid-water trawl Purse seine Rod and reel Surface fisheries unclassified Tended line Trap Troll Unspecified methods Other relate to the catch information of the original catch document via the original catch document number. When bluefin tuna is caught by a catching vessel or trap flagged or established in a Member State or CPC using the tagging system, then exported dead and re-exported, the catch document accompanying the RE-EXPORT CERTIFICATE does not have to be validated. However, the RE-EXPORT CERTIFICATE must be validated. After import, a bluefin tuna may be divided into several pieces, which then may be subsequently exported. In such a case, the re-exporting Member State or CPC must confirm that the re-exported piece is part of the original fish accompanied by the catch document. source: PE-439.421
9	2009/2106(INI) Green Paper on reform of the common fisheries policy 2009/12/17 PECH 9 amendments... Amendment 33 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital I I. whereas, in order to be effective, the CFP should be restructured with a view to the multidisciplinary involvement of all groups directly or indirectly connected with the sector, in particular fishermen, vessel owners, processors, aquaculture producers, the scientific community and politicians, Amendment 51 # Alain CADEC, Catherine TRAUTMANN Motion for a resolution Recital L L. whereas fishing is essential to the livelihood of many coastal communities, which have engaged in this activity for several generations and have thus, in addition, contributed to the economic and social dynamic of the regions concerned and the EU's cultural heritage, Amendment 67 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital N N. whereas it is now generally accepted that there are a~~lternative~~ number of instruments offering a different approach to fisheries management ~~mechanisms~~ which can usefully supplement the existing systems and play a significant role in the Community’s management of the sector, Amendment 100 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 2 2. Welcomes also the two main principles set out by the Commission with a view to an effective and successful reform of the CFP, namely the need to give more responsibility to the sector, based on the establishment of conditions favourable to good fishing practice and to ~~make~~adjust management models ~~more flexible~~ in order to create ~~alternatives to~~tools that will complement the traditional single system of TACs and quotas; Amendment 253 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 26 a (new) 26a. Stresses the need to ensure that the common commercial policy is consistent with the objectives pursued under the CFP, so as to ensure that new EU concessions (multilateral, regional or bilateral) as regards external tariff and non-tariff protection for fisheries and aquaculture products do not cancel out or jeopardise the efforts made to secure Community production outlets at sufficiently remunerative prices; Amendment 254 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 26 b (new) 26b. Believes that everything possible should be done to avoid increasing the EU's already very heavy dependence on third-country imports for its supplies of fisheries and aquaculture products; Amendment 260 # Alain CADEC, Catherine TRAUTMANN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 28 28. Reiterates the need to provide for strict monitoring and certification of fishery products entering the Community market, including imports, in order to ascertain that they come from sustainable fisheries and, as far as imported products are concerned, satisfy the health, environmental and social requirements imposed on Community products, the aim being to create a level playing field on the Community market; Amendment 298 # Alain CADEC, Catherine TRAUTMANN Motion for a resolution Paragraph 32 32. Urges the Commission to carefully explore the possibility of adopting new fisheries management mechanisms, as opposed to the TAC and quota system, for example fishing effort management and the use of transferable fishing rights, since such arrangements would enable the fleet to be adapted in a more flexible way, in line with the actual diversity and distribution of stocks, and could be supported by structural implementing measures~~, without neglecting the more vulnerable small-scale sector~~; recommends, however, that management mechanisms should be tailored to individual fisheries models and that in particular the more vulnerable small-scale sector should be exempt from any possible use of transferable fisheries rights; Amendment 334 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 34 a (new) 34a. Stresses that the concepts of 'non- industrial fishing' and 'industrial fishing', which will be used to adjust the management mechanisms geared to the characteristics of individual fisheries models, need to be defined in a precise, objective and concerted manner, while accepting, if necessary, that the definitions may vary from one region to another; source: PE-430.947
5	2009/2107(INI) A new impetus for the Strategy for the Sustainable Development of European Aquaculture 2010/04/14 PECH 5 amendments... Amendment 12 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital E E. whereas the sustainable aquaculture sector can make a major contribution to ensuring high-quality food supplies as regards fish products and thus to ~~reducing the pressure on wild specie~~diversifying the supply of fisheries and aquaculture products, as well as playing an important role as regards food security, economic activities and employment, especially in rural and coastal regions, Amendment 41 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital O O. whereas EU products currently face fierce competition from imports from non- EU countries (above all, Turkey, Chile, Vietnam and China), where companies can operate with much lower overheads, as they are not subject to the same stringent environmental ~~and~~, plant health and social legislation, thereby putting the EU aquaculture sector under further pressure, Amendment 76 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Calls on the Commission to set out in that regulation specific criteria and general rules, together with provision for maximum harmonisation of environmental impact criteria at Community level in order to avoid any distortion of competition between Member States, for the various product categories, with which every aquaculture establishment in the Community must comply, but to delegate responsibility for the implementation phase to the competent territorial authorities, in full accordance with the principle of subsidiarity e.g. parameters on environmental impact, water supply, feeding of farmed fish, molluscs and crustaceans, product traceability and labelling, and fish health and respect for feeding habits, etc.; Amendment 95 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Hopes that this Fund will take into due account the need to provide financial support for SMEs and family-run enterprises, for young people setting up in aquaculture and for the development of tools to cover the climate-, health- and market-related risks to which aquaculturists are exposed; Amendment 127 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 30. Calls on the Commission to propose specific criteria in relation to the well- being of farmed fish, such as maximum levels of farming density, the quantity of vegetable and animal proteins that can be used in feedstuffs on fish farms, and which take into account the nutritional requirements of the fish species farmed – on the understanding that the long-term goal must be to replace animal proteins with vegetable proteins –, the phases in their life cycle and the environmental conditions, and to promote transportation and slaughter practices which limit sources of stress, and the changing of water in fish ponds in such a way as to guarantee the well-being of the fish being farmed there; source: PE-439.917
5	2009/2108(INI) Report on the implementation of EU legislation aiming at the conservation of biodiversity 2010/05/03 PECH 5 amendments... Amendment 3 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Calls on the Commission to adopt a model network of marine protected areas (MPAs) making it possible to reconcile preserving the environment and practising sustainable fishing; asks it to report regularly on the progress made by Member States in implementing the Habitats and Birds Directives, in particular the establishment of the Natura 2000 network in the marine environment, since currently less than 10% of protected areas are marine sites, as well as on the reporting and monitoring obligations of the Member States; Amendment 5 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a. Considers that a reduction in discards must be a major objective of the CFP and calls on the Commission to identify the causes of discards and to work out solutions specific to each fishery, in particular through the introduction of multi-species or biomass quotas, through the selectivity of gear, such as the general use of square-meshed nets, and spatial management of stocks; Amendment 6 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. CStresses the essential role played by fisheries from an economic and social point of view in coastal development and from an environmental point of view in marine ecosystems; considers that the CFP must not hinder but facilitate Member States’ compliance with biodiversity legislation, in particular the establishment of adequate protection measures in marine Natura 2000 sites; Amendment 9 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Notes that marine species and habitats enjoy less protection than terrestrial species and habitats in EU biodiversity legislation, and therefore calls on the Commission to assess the weaknesses in the legislation and to develop MPAs in which economic activities including fishing are the subject of strengthened ecosystem-based management; Amendment 15 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Considers that regional fisheries management organisations are responsible for the management of fisheries~~, but that if RFMOs clearly fail~~ and guarantors of responsible fishing on the high seas; considers that it ins the~~ir duty to conserve commercially important marine species then there is a role for CITES to adopt a ban on international trade in those species~~refore essential to strengthen their powers, in particular with regard to controls and deterrent penalties, and that it is first and foremost up to RFMOs to manage the stocks of certain marine species of commercial importance and to pre~~vent stock collapse~~quire the use of catch certificates; source: PE-439.400
4	2009/2151(INI) Report on the Commission communication: 'A community approach on the prevention of natural and man made disasters' 2010/02/03 REGI 4 amendments... Amendment 4 # Alain CADEC, Maurice PONGA, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Stresses that a proactive approach is more effective and less costly than one based simply on reacting to disasters; takes the view that knowledge of the local geographic, economic and social context is fundamental to the prevention of natural and man-made disasters; Amendment 13 # Maurice PONGA, AUCONIE, Sophie, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID, Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Stresses that the effects of disasters are not confined within the formal and administrative boundaries of regions and Member States; believes, therefore, that the identification of particularly risk-prone areas, such as the isolated and extremely remote regions and certain other regions or islands in the European Union which have special characteristics and specific needs linked to their geography, their topography and the economic and social conditions under which their inhabitants live, should go hand in hand with establishing priority objectives and cooperation mechanisms in such areas; calls on regions to build on already existing territorial cooperation networks in order to develop cooperation focusing more specifically on disaster prevention; believes that the macro-regions, with their functionally-oriented cooperation independent of administrative boundaries, can become effective platforms for cooperation in the field of disaster prevention; Amendment 14 # Maurice PONGA, AUCONIE, Sophie, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID, Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Stresses that the effects of disasters are not confined within the formal and administrative boundaries of regions and Member States; believes, therefore, that the identification of particularly risk-prone areas should go hand in hand with establishing priority objectives and cooperation mechanisms in such areas; calls on regions to build on already existing territorial cooperation networks in order to develop cooperation focusing more specifically on disaster prevention; believes that transfrontier cooperation structures, such as the macro-regions, with their functionally-oriented cooperation independent of administrative boundaries, can become effective platforms for cooperation in the field of disaster prevention; Amendment 20 # Maurice PONGA, AUCONIE, Sophie, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID, Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 3 a (new) 3a. Welcomes the Commission proposal to extend the lessons learnt exercises to disaster prevention; calls for particular attention to be paid to the lessons learnt in parts of Europe, such as the extremely remote regions, which face a combination of risks (flooding, cyclones, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes); source: PE-439.323
12	2009/2152(INI) Report on the Commission White Paper: 'Adapting to climate change: towards a European framework for action' 2009/12/14 REGI 5 amendments... Amendment 2 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1 a. Welcomes the publication of the European Commission’s White Paper on ‘Adapting to climate change: Towards a European framework for action’; emphasises that climate change presents a challenge with a marked regional impact that calls for a coordinated approach at European Union level, both between the various Community policies and between the various levels of intervention: European, national, regional and local; Amendment 16 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Takes the view that only close cooperation at all levels of governance - European Union, Member States and regional authorities - will enable the European Union to implement an adaptation strategy from 2013; Amendment 21 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Recognises, therefore, the need to ensure that the adaptation strategy is integrated into, and coherent with, all European Union policies; emphasises the key role played by local and regional authorities and the need for a bottom-up approach taking account of the differences between natural habitats in Europe, in full accordance with the subsidiarity principle~~, since it~~; is convinced that local authorities will be better-equipped to find political solutions to their own needs; Amendment 29 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Considers it essential to pursue policies, not least at regional and local level, that make both public and private investment and certain administrative acts (such as planning permission and development plans) subject to a climate impact assessment, so as to ~~block~~encourage investment in ~~unsustainable~~ infrastructure of high environmental quality; Amendment 39 # Alain CADEC, Lambert van NISTELROOIJ Draft opinion Paragraph 11 11. ~~Asks the Commission to ensure that the next financial perspective includes sufficient funding to implement effective climate change adaptat~~Recognises the need for the regions to address the effects of climate change; recommends that the Member States and the regions take into account the possibility of harnessing the mechanisms provided by the structural funds for developing longer-term sustainable projects; emphasises that the European Union pSoli~~cies at all levels of governance~~darity Fund (EUSF) exists to address urgent needs and to express EU solidarity with regions affected. source: PE-430.957 2010/04/02 PECH 7 amendments... Amendment 1 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Reiterates that man-made greenhouse gases have wide-ranging impacts on the complex dynamics of the marine environment and that marine ecosystems already under pressure from pollution and ~~over~~illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing are also being affected by warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, changes in salinity and acidification and possible changes in ocean currents; Amendment 6 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Points out that ~~rapid depletion of European fish stocks as a result of fishing practice~~the fishing industry must adapt to climate change, whilst respecting the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development; stresses that depletion of European fish stocks is eroding the ecological and economic basis of fisheries and is making marine ecosystems more vulnerable to climate change and thus less capable of adapting; Amendment 12 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5.

Points out that funds must be spent transparently and efficiently in the regions, on the basis of rules that are as simple as possible and sound management; urges that, in keeping with the proportionality principle, the frequency of checks should be commensurate with the risk of irregularities; Amendment 81 # Sophie AUCONIE, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID, Alain CADEC, Maurice PONGA Draft opinion Paragraph 14 14. Notes that a five-year period is too short, since authorisation procedures would be much too long and would not make it possible to use resources efficiently; points to the fact that a seven-year period has proved its worth in the past and that the programming period should in no circumstances be shorter; underscores the fact that a seven-year period, until 2020, would make the link with the EU 2020 strategy clear; notes that it might make sense thereafter to consider a 10-year model (five years + five years) in such a way as to match the scheduling of financing priorities with the terms of office of Parliament and the Commission, combining this with a vision and a policy strategy stretching over 10 years; Amendment 82 # Sophie AUCONIE, Marie-Thérèse SANCHEZ-SCHMID, Alain CADEC, Maurice PONGA Draft opinion Paragraph 15 15.

Recognises that, in times of demographic change, the Roma population, which has been part of our common heritage for centuries, should be given the means through good quality education, decent housing and job opportunities to fully integrate the work place and contribute to economic development as foreseen in the EU 2020 strategy; calls on the Member States and regional and local public authorities, therefore, to increase their efforts now, by reinforcing their effective strategies for addressing the specific circumstances (deep poverty, lack of education, poor health conditions) of marginalised communities, in order to ensure their social and economic integration; Amendment 45 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Recommends Member States and regional and local public authorities to consider making the allocation of new housing to marginalised communities conditional on social commitments on their part, such as appropriate participation in the process of building the new establishments, obligatory school attendance for children, and the acceptance of jobs offered by job mediators, in order to ensure their real, effective and sustainable integration. Amendment 48 # Alain CADEC Draft opinion Paragraph 5 a (new) 5a.

Given that it provides fishermen in those regions with a livelihood, steps should be taken to foster market stability and a better match between supply and demand. Amendment 35 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 a (new) (5a) In view of the large volumes of fishery and aquaculture products that are imported into the EU and the substantial proportion of overall EU consumption for which they account, it is essential for the common market organisation to form part of a commercial and customs policy geared to regulating imports and mitigating their effects on the first-sale prices paid to EU producers and the profitability of their activities. Amendment 36 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 5 b (new) (5b) The greatest possible degree of consistency needs to be achieved between the common fisheries policy and the common commercial policy, with the latter policy systematically being used to further the objectives of the former, both in WTO multilateral negotiations and in connection with bilateral and regional trade agreements.

Amendment 63 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 a (new) (16a) In view of the importance that consumers attach to origin and provenance, in the broad sense of the terms, when choosing between the fishery and aquaculture products available on the market, special care must be taken to ensure that the information they are given thereon is as accurate, clear and comprehensive as possible. Amendment 67 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 16 b (new) (16b) With a view to ensuring consistency between the common fisheries policy – with particular reference to its common market organisation and consumer information provisions – and the common commercial policy, care must be taken to avoid excessively broad definitions of the preferential origin of fishery and aquaculture products, as well as any exceptions to the standard definitions that would undermine product traceability and cause confusion as to where and how a given product has been sourced.

155	2011/0195(COD) Common Fisheries Policy 2012/06/14 REGI 29 amendments... Amendment 65 # Alain CADEC 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~~. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield. Amendment 66 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Fisheries targets were laid down in the Decision by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity on the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011 – –2020, and the Common Fisheries Policy should ensure coherence with the biodiversity targets adopted by the European Council and the targets of Commission Communication "‘Our life insurance, our natural capital: an EU Bbiodiversity Sstrategy to 2020"’, in particular to achieve maximum sustainable yield ~~by 2015~~. Amendment 74 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) Measures are needed to reduce ~~and eliminate the current high~~the levels of unwanted catches and discards. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. ~~An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessels should be established and gradually implemented.~~ Amendment 80 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) A system of transferable fishing concessions for the majority of managed stocks under the Common Fisheries Policy should be implemented no later than 31 December 2013 for all vessels of 12 meters' length or over and all other vessels fishing with towed gears. Member States may exclude vessels up to 12 meters' length other than vessels using towed gear from transferable fishing concessions. Such a system should contribute to industry-induced fleet reductions and improved economic performance while at the same time creating legally secure and exclusive transferable fishing concession of a Member State's annual fishing opportunities. Since marine biological resources are a common good, transferable fishing concessions should only establish user entitlements to a Member State's part of annual fishing opportunities which may be recalled according to established rules.deleted Amendment 84 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) Fishing concessions should be transferable and leasable in order to decentralise management of fishing opportunities towards the fishing industry and ensuring that fishers leaving the industry will not need to rely on public financial assistance under the Common Fisheries Policy.deleted Amendment 86 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 (31) Specific characteristics and socio- economic vulnerability of some small- scale fleets justify the limitation of the mandatory system of transferable fishing concessions to large vessels. The system of transferable fishing concessions should apply to stocks for which fishing opportunities are allocated.deleted Amendment 101 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Part I – Article 2 – paragraph 2 2.

Amendment 228 # Alain CADEC Draft legislative resolution Citation 3 a (new) having regard to Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Amendment 248 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 4 a (new) (4a) The CFP should guarantee employment in fisheries and aquaculture and contribute to improvements in the working conditions of fishermen and fish farmers, taking into account the social dimension of fishing activity. The common fisheries policy should also be coordinated with the Union’s trade and customs policies in order to control imports into the European Union from third countries and their impact on the prices obtained by Community producers and to establish fair and equitable competition with third countries, particularly preventing distortions of competition due to disparities in labour costs. Amendment 249 # Alain CADEC 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 201520. Where less scientific information is available, this may require applying proxies to maximum sustainable yield. Amendment 268 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 6 (6) Fisheries targets were laid down in the Decision by the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity on the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011 – 2020, the Common Fisheries Policy should ensure coherence with the biodiversity targets adopted by the European Council, and the targets of Commission Communication "Our life insurance, our natural capital: an EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020", in particular to achieve maximum sustainable yield by 201520. Amendment 280 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) An ecosystem based approach to fisheries management needs to be implemented, environmental impacts of fishing activities should be limited and unwanted catches should be ~~minimis~~significantly reduced and progressively eliminated insofar as possible, particularly by investing in the selectiveness of gear. Amendment 298 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 (12) Implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy should take into account interactions with other maritime affairs as addressed by the Integrated Maritime Policy, recognizing that all matters related to Europe’s oceans and seas are interlinked, including maritime spatial planning. Coherence and integration should be ensured in the management of different sectoral policies within the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Celtic Seas, Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Coast, Mediterranean ~~and~~, Black Sea, Antilles, French Guiana and Indian Ocean sea basins. Amendment 314 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) Marine biological resources around ~~the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands~~all the outermost regions of the Union should continue to be especially protected since they contribute to the preservation of the local economy of these islands, having regard to the structural, social and economic situation of those ~~island~~regions. The limitation of certain fishing activities in those waters to fishing vessels registered in the ports of the ~~Azores, Madeira and the Canary Island~~outermost regions should therefore be maintained. Amendment 330 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) Measures are needed to ~~reduce and eliminate the current high levels of unwanted catches and discard~~significantly reduce levels of unwanted catches and discards, taking account of the specificities of each fishery and on the basis of prior impact assessments to analyse the causes of discards and the social, economic and environmental impact of the proposed measures. Indeed, unwanted catches and discards constitute a substantial waste and affect negatively the sustainable exploitation of marine biological resources and marine ecosystems as well as the financial viability of fisheries. ~~An obligation to land all catches of managed stocks caught during fishing activities in Union waters or by Union fishing vessel~~Multiannual plans of measures to significantly reduce discards should be established and ~~gradually~~ implemented. Amendment 350 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 19 (19) Landings of unwanted catches should not result in full economic advantages for the operator. For landings of catches of fish under the minimum conservation reference size, the destination of such catches should be limited and exclude sale for human consumption.deleted Amendment 370 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 22 (22) In view of the precarious economic state of part of the fishing industry and the dependence of certain coastal communities on fishing activities, it is necessary to ensure the relative stability of fishing activities by allocating fishing opportunities among Member States, based on a predictable share of stocks for each Member State. Amendment 386 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 26 (26) Member States should be able to adopt, in close cooperation with the Advisory Councils, conservation measures and technical measures for the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy to allow for the policy to better address the realities and specificities of individual fisheries and to increase the adherence to the policy. Amendment 395 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 (29) A system of transferable fishing concessions for the majority of managed stocks under the Common Fisheries Policy should be implemented no later than 31 December 2013 for all vessels of 12 meters' length or over and all other vessels fishing with towed gears. Member States may exclude vessels up to 12 meters' length other than vessels using towed gear from transferable fishing concessions. Such a system should contribute to industry-induced fleet reductions and improved economic performance while at the same time creating legally secure and exclusive transferable fishing concession of a Member State's annual fishing opportunities. Since marine biological resources are a common good, transferable fishing concessions should only establish user entitlements to a Member State's part of annual fishing opportunities which may be recalled according to established rules.deleted Amendment 417 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 30 (30) Fishing concessions should be transferable and leasable in order to decentralise management of fishing opportunities towards the fishing industry and ensuring that fishers leaving the industry will not need to rely on public financial assistance under the Common Fisheries Policy.deleted Amendment 431 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 (31) Specific characteristics and socio- economic vulnerability of some small- scale fleets justify the limitation of the mandatory system of transferable fishing concessions to large vessels. The system of transferable fishing concessions should apply to stocks for which fishing opportunities are allocated.deleted Amendment 444 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 a (new) (31a) Each Member State should be allowed to choose its method of allocating the fishing opportunities assigned to it, in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, without imposing any allocation system at European level. In this way, Member States will remain free to establish – or not to establish – a system of transferable fishing concessions. Amendment 446 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 31 b (new) (31b) A binding system should be established to evaluate fleet registers and verify capacity ceilings in order to ensure that each Member State respects the capacity ceilings assigned to it and to step up the fisheries control system so that fishing capacity is aligned with the resources available. Amendment 451 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 32 (32) ~~For Union fishing vessels not operating under a system of transferable fishing concessions, specific measures may be taken~~Specific measures should be maintained to align the number of Union fishing vessels with available resources. Such measures should set compulsory maximum fleet capacity ceilings and establish national entry/exit schemes in relation to decommissioning funding granted under the European Fisheries Fund and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. Amendment 518 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 46 a (new) (46a) In view of the specificity of the outermost regions, particularly their geographical remoteness and the importance of fishing to their economies, an advisory committee for the outermost regions comprising three subcommittees (South-Western waters, South-West Indian Ocean waters, French West Indies and Antilles-Guiana Basin waters) should be set up. This advisory committee will also make it possible to contribute to measures against illegal, undeclared and unmanaged fishing worldwide. Amendment 519 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 46 b (new) (46b) In view of the specificity of fishing in inland waters, particularly the large number of jobs which it represents, the direct or indirect threats to these fisheries, the lack of attention devoted to them and their expertise with regard to species and aquatic environments, an advisory committee for the inland fishing regions should be set up. This advisory committee will make it possible for fisheries to organise themselves collectively by means of an ecosystem approach. Amendment 529 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 50 (50) To ensure the involvement of concerned operators in the Union system for control, inspection, and enforcement, Member States should be able to require the holders of a fishing licence of Union fishing vessels of 12 meters length over all or more flying their flag to contribute proportionally to the costs of that system.deleted Amendment 544 # Alain CADEC 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 enable the Common Fisheries Policy to benefit from the knowledge and experience of all stakeholders, ensuring that organisations representing the fishing and aquaculture industry have a majority representation on the Councils. Amendment 554 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 54 (54) It appears appropriate that the Commission be empowered by delegated acts to create a new Advisory Councils and to modify areas of competence of existing ones, in particular considering the specificities of the Black Sea. Amendment 560 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 55 (55) To achieve the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission for the purpose of specifying fishing related measures to alleviate the impact of fishing activities in special areas of conservation, adaptation of the obligation to land all catches for the purpose of complying with the Union's international obligations, default conservation measures in the framework of multiannual plans or technical measures, the recalculation of fleet capacity ceilings, definition of information on characteristics and activity for Union fishing vessels, rules for carrying out pilot projects on new control technologies and data management systems, amendments to Annex III in relation to the areas of competence ~~for Advisory Councils and the compositioning and functioning~~ of Advisory Councils. Amendment 572 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 62 (62) Regulation (EC) 199/2008 of 25 February 2008 concerning the establishment of a Community framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy should be repealed, but should continue to apply to the national programmes adopted for the collection and management of data for the years 2011 – 2013.deleted Amendment 615 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 2 – paragraph 2 2. The Common Fisheries Policy shall apply the precautionary approach to fisheries management, and shall aim ~~to ensure, by 2015, that exploitation of living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above~~, by 2020 at the latest, to maintain harvested wild stocks at, or restore them to, levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield.

Amendment 2 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 (9) The period during which the assistance is available ~~under Regulations 407/2010 and 332/2002~~to Ireland, Hungary, Latvia, Portugal and Romania is set out in the respective Council Implementing Decisions. The ~~Council Decision granting assistanc~~period during which assistance was made available to Hungary expired on 4 November 2010. Amendment 3 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 9 a (new) (9a) The period during which the assistance under the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Facility Agreement is available to Greece is different for each Member State participating in those instruments. For the purposes of this Regulation it is necessary for any Member State making a request to benefit from the derogation under this Regulation to clearly specify in its request the starting date, from which it considers that the derogation is justified in applying to that Member State in accordance with this Regulation. Amendment 4 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) On 11 July 2011, finance ministers of the 17 euro-area Member States signed the Treaty establishing the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). ~~It is foreseen that by~~Under that Treaty, which is a consequence of the European Council Decision of 25 March 2013, 1,the ESM will, by 2013, assume the tasks currently fulfilled by the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) and the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM). This future mechanism should therefore already be taken into account in this Regulation. Amendment 5 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 a (new) (10a) In its conclusions of 23 and 24 June 2011, the European Council welcomed the Commission's intention to enhance the synergies between the loan programme for Greece and the Union funds, supporting efforts to increase Greece's capacity to absorb Union funds with the aim of stimulating growth and employment by refocusing on improving competitiveness and employment creation. Moreover, the conclusions welcome and support the preparation by the Commission, together with the Member States, of a comprehensive programme of technical assistance to Greece. This Regulation contributes to those efforts to enhance synergies. Amendment 6 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) In order to facilitate the management of Union funding, to help accelerate investments in Member States and regions and to improve the availability of funding to the economy it is necessary to allow ~~the~~, in justified cases, temporarily and without prejudice to the 2014 to 2020 programming period, an increase of interim payments from the European Fisheries Fund by an amount corresponding to ten percentage points above the actual co-financing rate for each priority axis for Member States which are facing serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability and which have requested to benefit from this measure, resulting in a corresponding reduction in the national counterpart. Due to the temporary nature of that increase and in order to maintain the original co- financing rates as the reference point for calculation of the temporarily increased amounts, the changes resulting from application of the mechanism should not be reflected in the financial plan included in the operational programme. However, it should be possible to update operational programme in order to concentrate the funds on competitiveness, growth and employment and in order to align their targets and objectives with the decrease of total funding available. Amendment 7 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 a (new) (11a) The Member State making a request to the Commission to benefit from the derogation under this Regulation should clearly specify, in its request addressed to the Commission, the date from which it considers the derogation to be justified. In its request, the Member State should submit all the information necessary to enable the Commission to establish by means of data on the Member State's macroeconomic and fiscal situation; that resources for the national counterpart are unavailable. It should also show that an increase of payments resulting from the granting of the derogation is necessary to safeguard the continued implementation of operational programmes and that the absorption capacity problems persist even if the maximum ceilings applicable to co- financing rates laid down in Article 53(3) are used. The Member State concerned should also providethe reference to the relevant Council Decision or other legal act pursuant to which it is eligible for benefit from the derogation. It is necessary for the Commission to have a sufficient period, starting from the submission of the Member State's request, in which to verify the correctness of the information submitted andto raise any objection. In order to make the derogation effective and operational, there should be a presumption that a Member State's request is justified if the Commission does not raise an objection. If the Commission objects to the Member State request, it should adopt a decision to this effect, stating reasons. Amendment 8 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 12 a (new) (12a) It is necessary to ensure that there is appropriate reporting on the use of the increased amounts made available to the Member States benefiting from the temporary increase in interim payments under this Regulation. Amendment 9 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 13 (13) After the end of the period during which financial assistance has been made available, the ~~outcomes of~~ evaluations carried out in accordance with Article 18(2) might ~~highlight the~~ need to assess, inter alia, whether the reduction of the national co-funding does not lead to a significant departure from the goals initially set. Such evaluation might lead to the revision of the operational programme. Amendment 10 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 ~~(14) Council Regulation (EC) No Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Fisheries Fund should therefore be amended accordingly.~~deleted Amendment 11 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 (15) As the unprecedented crisis affecting international financial markets and the economic donwturn which have seriously damaged the financial stability of several Member States necessitates a rapid response in order to counter the effects on the economy as a whole, this Regulation should enter into force as soon as possible ~~and apply retroactively~~. Given the exceptional circumstances of the Member States concerned, it should apply retroactively, starting either from the budgetary year of 2010 or from the starting day when the financial assistance was made available, depending on the requesting Member State's status, for the periods during which the Member States received financial assistance from the Union or from other euro-area Member States in order to address serious difficulties with respect to their financial stability, Amendment 12 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 a (new) (15a) Where a temporary increase in interim payments is envisaged, that temporary increase should also be considered in the context of the budgetary restraints facing all Member States, which should be reflected appropriately in the Union budget. In addition, since the main purpose of the mechanism is to address specific current difficulties, its application should be limited in time. Therefore application of the mechanism should start on 1 January 2010 and its duration should be limited until 31 December 2013. Amendment 13 # Alain CADEC Proposal for a regulation Recital 15 b (new) (15b) Council Regulation (EC) No Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 laying down general provisions on the European Fisheries Fund1 should therefore be amended accordingly. ______________ 1 OJ L 223, 15.8.2006, p. 1.

Wwhereas the Treaty stipulates that its provisions and common policies are to be applied to the outermost regions (ORs) in a differentiated manner and provides, under Article 349 of the TFEU, for special treatment and a specific framework for these regions, conferring on them ‘outermost region status’; Amendment 87 # Maurice PONGA, Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Criticises the fact that, within the additional ERDF funding, the amounts to be allocated to the ORs have been reduced in the proposals for the financial period from 2014 to 2020 and considers that the financial arrangements for the implementation of EU 2020 should provide for access to EU funding that is at least equal to that available for the current financial framework; proposes that other criteria be used for the allocation of funding with a view to a more equitable distribution between these regions, as a fixed component to be uniformly allocated amongst themonsiders unacceptable and unjustified, the planned reduction of at least 40 % of the specific additional allocation for ORs proposed for the financial period from 2014 to 2020; is also concerned about the Commission’s proposal providing for at least 50 % of the specific additional allocation to be allocated to actions contributing to the diversification and modernisation of the economies of the outermost regions, to the extent that this affects the flexibility of the ORs required to address their disadvantages referred to in Article 349 of the TFEU; considers that the financial arrangements for the implementation of EU 2020 should provide for access to EU funding that is at least equal to that available for the current financial framework; Amendment 100 # Maurice PONGA, Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Is in favour of maintaining the special treatment of the ORs as regards state aid and calls for the removal of discrimination between ORs, given that an unequal increase, based on their GDP, results in an imbalance for all of them;Recalls that under Article 107, paragraph 3, subparagraph a) of the TFEU, all ORs are granted state aid derogation given their structural, economic and social situation; is in favour of maintaing the current level of aid for investments in large enterprises and small and medium sized enterprises in ORs and for the possibilty of granting operating aid within a flexible regulatory framework.

Amendment 6 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital B B. whereas the present communication recalls that the previous CFP failed to achieve its key objectives: certain stocks are overfished; the economic situation of parts of the EU fleet is fragile despite high levels of subsidy; ~~jobs~~ there are still few young people entering the fishing sector ~~are unattractive~~; and the situation of many coastal communities depending on fisheries is precarious; Amendment 16 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Recital D D. whereas, according to the European Commission, 75 % of the EU’s estimated fish stocks are overexploited, more than 60 % of stocks in European waters are fished beyond the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY), and the EU is losing approximately EUR 1.8 billion per year in potential income from its failure to manage fisheries sustainably; Amendment 63 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Is convinced that the reform of the CFP must establish the right instruments to support an ecosystem-based fisheries management; believes, therefore, that the multiannual management plans must take account of such an ecosystemic approach; believes that it is imperative to put an end to the institutional impasse of these multiannual management plans and that the ordinary legislative procedure should be applied; Amendment 77 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Believes that the objective of achieving MSY based on fishing mortality (FMSY) should be established immediately~~, as this will in any case put the vast majority of stocks on the right track~~; calls on the Commission and the Member States to implement this objective in an operational manner with the aid of a realistic calendar for the sector, based on sound scientific data and taking ~~account of~~ the socio-economic consequences of this measure into account; Amendment 81 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Underlines, however, the difficulties involved in implementing the MSY principle, in particular in the case of mixed fisheries or where scientific data on fish stocks are unavailable or unreliable; consequently requests an increase in the sums allocated to scientific research and data collection for the implementation of a sustainable fishing policy; Amendment 87 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. ~~Understands~~Considers that the Commission~~’s motivations when proposing to implement a discard ban by 2016, and considers that it~~ is right to view ~~such practice~~discards as unacceptable in principle, particularly given their harmful impact on numerous essential evaluations relating to sustainable stock management, sound scientific advice, marine ecosystem surveillance and the financial viability of fisheries; is therefore in favour of a policy which will significantly reduce the number of discards; Amendment 96 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Believes that a ~~ban on~~significant reduction in the number of discards should only be put in place if accompanied by technical measures to reduce unwanted bycatch and incentives to encourage selective fishing practices, ~~provided~~while maintaining the ecosystem balance ~~is maintained~~; priority should go to avoiding unwanted catches in the first place~~, rather than finding ways to market them~~; is concerned about the emergence of a parallel discards market which would constitute a danger for the ecosystem and the European fishing sector; also stresses the importance of stakeholder engagement and careful design of the landing obligation, in order not to shift from unwanted fish in the sea to unwanted fish on land; Amendment 111 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Notes that ~~the existing technology for reducing or eliminating discards is not equally effective for all types of~~reducing discards is not as easy to implement for multispecies fisheries as it is for single-species fisheries; in this respect, calls on the Commission to promote partnerships between scientists and fishermen and assist Member States in the development of new fishing techniques; Amendment 113 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to ~~consider, before implementing this measure, the option of~~ establish~~ing~~ ‘pilot projects’ before 2015 ~~in order to identify technical difficulties, such as practical problems related to landing all discards, implementing controls, and management of socio- economic consequence~~, allowing the development and creation of selective gear to enable a significant reduction in the number of discards, in the hope that the results could be used to help formulate measures for management plans; Amendment 116 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Notes the difficulty of applying ~~such a measure~~a significant reduction in the number of discards in the Mediterranean, given the existence of mixed fisheries, specific fishing practices and specific climatic and geological conditions; believes that further consultations are needed to tackle the difficulties linked to establishing the infrastructure for collecting and processing the bycatch as proposed by the Commission; calls for measures to reduce the catch of juveniles and discourage the market in juveniles; Amendment 122 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Expresses its ~~doubts over the proposals relating to the market in bycatches, and stresses that, in case of implementation, adequate safeguards should be provided in order to avoid~~opposition to the market in bycatches, which would lead to the emergence of a parallel market that would paradoxically encourage fishermen to increase their catch; Amendment 128 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15.

Believes strongly that the reformed CFP must not be removed from the socio- economic context in which it exists; considers that the fisheries and aquaculture sectors must be seen as important direct and indirect sources of job creation in our maritime regions, which underpin their economy as a whole, while also contributing to food safety in the EU; Amendment 229 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 29 29. Welcomes the Commission’s proposal for a ‘Blue Growth initiative on sustainable growth from the oceans, seas and coasts’; considers that greater professional mobility in the sector, the possibility (subject to strict conditions) of renewing and modernising the fishing fleet, diversification of jobs, and identification of tools making it possible to match skills, qualifications and education programmes to the needs of the sector are important for the growth of the maritime, fisheries and aquaculture industries; Amendment 260 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 32 32. Believes that as far as regionalisation is concerned, the key response is good governance, which means a bottom-up approach; stresses that clear and simple rules must be established at the appropriate level, thus increasing compliance; also strongly believes that the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) promote dialogue and cooperation between stakeholders and should contribute actively to the establishing of Long Term Management Plans; recalls the role of the co-legislators in adopting these plans; source: PE-489.362

Calls on the Commission to provide for the establishment of long-term management plans for all EU single- species fisheries; highlights the possibility of grouping fisheries according to geographical fishing regions by regionalising the common fisheries policy, whereby the specificities of the different European seas should be taken into account and a separate regime should apply to small-scale coastal fisheries; believes that there should be a possibility for investments in new landing sites and start- up packages in order to secure a new generation of fishermen entering into small-scale fisheries; Amendment 25 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Stresses the need for a balance between the ecological and the economic and social situation in each fishery and emphasises that it is very important that European fishermen accept harvest control rules, and therefore calls for wide participation by representatives of Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) and other relevant stakeholders when establishing management plans; considers that in the future RACs should play a much greater role in this process; thereby calls for proper regionalisation; proposes that the RACs submit a mandatory opinion to the Commission on all the management plans prior to the proposal; Amendment 30 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Underlines the ~~direct link between discards, unwanted by-catch and overfishing, and the need to develop an efficient no-discards policy~~need to develop an efficient policy to significantly reduce discards at EU level whereby the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) should have greater powers to ensure a fair system of rules and sanctions, i.e. the principle of equal treatment; argues that a ~~discard ban~~significant reduction in discards should be fishery-based and not relate to different fish stocks; stresses that selected fishing gear and other devices which ~~reduce or eliminat~~significantly reduce by-catches of non- targeted species, as well as other sustainable fishing methods, should be promoted; underlines the importance of addressing the management of mixed fisheries to this end; Amendment 40 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Urges the Commission to address immediately the issue of the lack of reliable and available data necessary for sound scientific advice; calls on the Commission to establish a system whereby Member States which do not fulfil their data collection and transmission obligations are sanctioned; stresses that adequate financial means have to be allocated to relevant scientific research in the Member States; urges the Commission at the same time to set up a framework for decision-making ~~in data-poor situations~~, both regarding management plans and TACs and quota decisions; Amendment 51 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 10. ~~Call~~Is onf the ~~Commission to establish a definition of over~~view that the priority is not to reduce the capacity, a~~t EU level accommodating regional definitions, w~~s indicated by the Commission, but actually to preserve the re ~~local specificities are taken into account; further calls on the Commission to redefine fishing capacity in such a way that both the vessel’s fishing capacity and its actual fishing eff~~source and the activity of fishing; reiterates that there is no proven link between the reduction in the capacity of the fleet and the reduction in catches, nort a~~re taken as a basis; stresses moreover the necessity to define small-scale fisheries in order to dissociate them from industrial fisheri~~ny proven link between the concentration of quotas and the reduction in catches; Amendment 55 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 a (new) 10a. Urges the Commission to consider the diversity of the fishing fleet of each fishing basin and not to apply fleet management measures which risk destroying the activity of fishing; calls on the Commission to review its judgment on the concept of capacity; proposes to adapt the management rules, the level of TACs and quotas, as well as the control to the characteristics of the fishing fleets and not the reverse; Amendment 57 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12. Urges the Member States to carry out mandatory cuts to achieve set targets for a sustainable level of capacity for every fishery so as to tackle the remaining significant overcapacity of the fishing fleets, with sanctions for failure to meet the targets, i.e. the freezing of funds from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF);deleted Amendment 65 # Alain CADEC, Jim HIGGINS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Recognises the Commission’s proposal to introduce a system of individually transferable fishing concessions (TFCs), subject to strict safeguards, providing a special regime for small-scale and coastal fisheries as well as preferential treatment for ecologically- friendly fishing vessels, and addressing the issue of rights concentration and the possibility of revoking fishing concessions; believes, therefore, that a Member State should be exempted from the obligation to introduce TFCs if its fishing capacity is within the set ceiling or if the Member State in question can prove that it can achieve the necessary capacity reduction without using a TFC system;deleted Amendment 71 # Alain CADEC, Jim HIGGINS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 a (new) 13a. Opposes the introduction of a system of transferable fishing concessions of any kind, proposes the status quo and, if relevant, the introduction of catch and fishing effort limitations; Amendment 73 # Alain CADEC, Jim HIGGINS Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Underlines that the TFC system cannot be considered as the only measure to tackle overfishing and overcapacity but that it should be available as one of the various additional management measures available to a Member State whereby the Commission, together with the two co- legislators, is to set the broader framework, control and monitor national application, and report to the legislators periodically on the results of this system; sStresses that selective fishing gear and other technical measures, such as closure of specific zones or the exclusion of certain fishing activities, should be further promoted as complementary measures; Amendment 80 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Emphasises the need for clear deadlines for fleet reductions and pace targets, and urges the Commission to provide for a scheme of measures to sanction Member States which do not fulfil their respective obligations within the set timelines and to further develop the concept of conditionality in the context of access to fishing resources and remuneration which rewards sustainable fishing;deleted Amendment 94 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 18 18.

Rejects a definition of ~~small-sc~~coastal or artisanale fishing that is restrictive and detached from reality; considers that the definition of small-scale fishing should cover a range of criteria, in addition to the strict boat-size criterion, including, inter alia, ~~the impact of fishing techniques on the marine ecosystem,~~ time spent at sea and the characteristics of the economic unit exploiting the resources; Amendment 103 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. ~~Rejects the mandatory implementation of TFCs~~Believes that the principle of subsidiarity already allows Member States to establish a system of transferable fishing concessions in their national legislation; therefore rejects the proposal to include TFCs in the reform; argues that the decision on whether or not to adopt TFCs and on which sectors of the fleet to include in this scheme should be left to the Member States; Amendment 112 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Considers that, once the general management objectives have been set out, the Member States should be given flexibility to decide on the management rules best suited to achieving these objectives within the framework of regionalisation, specifically as regards the right of access to fisheries resources, taking into account the specific characteristics of their fleets, fisheries and resources; Amendment 129 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 8 8. Rejects a general reduction in the capacity of a given fleet solely and obligatorily on the basis of market criteria; calls for a study on the state of the fleet capacity in the European Union before adopting any binding measures to regulate the EU fleet capacity; Amendment 150 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 – introductory part 11.

Considers it urgent to promote the fairer and more adequate distribution of value added along the sector’s value chain, by reducing operating margins, increasing the prices paid to producers and limiting the prices paid by end consumers; considers that, in cases where there are serious imbalances in the chain, the Member States should adopt means of intervention~~, such as setting maximum operating margins~~ for each agent in the chain; Amendment 197 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Advocates the creation (within the framework of the EMFF or of other instruments) of specific and temporary support mechanisms to be implemented in emergencies, such as natural disasters, fishing stoppages imposed by plans for restoring stocks or sudden short-term increases in fuel prices; Amendment 208 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 15 15.

Considers an EU-wide integrated marine and maritime data management system to be of crucial importance with a view to taking advantage of maritime opportunities; calls on the Commission to continue its efforts to improve data management and accessibility; Amendment 21 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Believes that fisheries, in particular small-scale and coastal fisheries, must play a key role in maritime planning policies; takes the view that the regionalisation of the common fisheries policy should result in the introduction of an ecosystem-based management approach tailored to the needs of the Atlantic area, and in this connection considers that the Commission should be required to engage in prior consultations with the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) in the context of the implementation of the common fisheries policy and the management plans; Amendment 25 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5.

Considers that the strategy should encourage marine and maritime research and give businesses easier access to the findings of that research, with a view to improving scientific knowledge of the marine environment, encouraging innovation in maritime industries and allowing sustainable exploitation of marine resources; Amendment 47 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Emphasises the importance of fisheries and aquaculture in the Atlantic regions, and is in favour of public support for the updating and modernisation of fishing vessels; is opposed to the Commission’s proposal to establish transferable fishing concessions, because this scheme would lead to fishing rights being concentrated in the hands of a small number of operators and, as a result, to the disappearance of many fishing businesses; Amendment 53 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 a (new) 20a. Emphasises the need to involve regional and local public authorities, the Atlantic Member States, private sector bodies and civil society organisations in drafting and implementing the action plan; Amendment 58 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 22 a (new) 22a.

Considers that the size of the EU market ~~for~~in fisheries products and the geographical range of activities by EU-flagged and EU- owned vessels impose a high level of responsibility on the Union for ensuring that its fisheries’ footprint is ecologically sustainable, providing high quality seafood to consumers in Europe and other countries where European fish are marketed, and contributing to the social and economic fabric of coastal fishing communities both inside the EU and elsewhere; Amendment 53 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 3 3. Believes that fishing by EU interests or destined for the EU market inside and outside Union waters by EU or non-EU vessels should be based upon the same standards in terms of ecological and social sustainability and transparency; Amendment 61 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Reiterates its belief in the need for coherence between the fisheries policy of the Union and its policies with respect to development ~~and~~, the environment and trade; notes that such coherence requires coordination both within the Commission itself and between the Commission and the governments of the individual Member States; Amendment 68 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Recalls that the IPOA-Capacity (International Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity) committed the EU, no later than 2005, to develop and implement a system for the management of fishing capacity; ~~notes that~~would like the Commission to explain why it appears to be pursuing contradictory approaches to the management of capacity by proposing a freeze in certain RFMOs while proposing to remove the main regulatory limits to capacity within the EU’s ~~internal and external~~ fleets; Amendment 73 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7.

Considers that the EU should be active within the UN system to explore means for the global community to address the need for more integrated global ocean governance, regarding both living marine resources and other resources as well as pollution and the impacts of climate change on the oceans, and social standards and working conditions; Amendment 94 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 10 bis (new) 10a. Coastal State Agreements 10a. Would like to see enhanced cooperation with the coastal States on the sustainable use of resources; calls on the Commission to put forward a mechanism for resolving disputes when conflicts arise regarding the management of the coastal States’ stocks; Amendment 97 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 11. Considers that bilateral fisheries agreements, or Sustainable Fisheries Agreements (SFA) as the Commission proposes to call them, negotiated between partners and equitably implemented, should be of benefit to both parties, providing economic resources, technical and scientific expertise and support for improved fisheries management and good governance to the third country, while allowing the continuation of fishing activities by EU vessels that ~~provide a modest but important supply of fish to~~are a significant source of supply for the EU and ofor ther markets of certain developing countries, for both fresh and tinned products; Amendment 112 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Welcomes the intention of the Commission to include several provisions in future bilateral agreements, including respect for the principle of limiting access to resources that are scientifically demonstrated to be surplus to the coastal State’s own catch capacity~~, a human rights clause~~ in line with Article 61 of the Unclos, a human rights clause, in line with international agreements on human rights, and the exclusivity clause, though the latter needs to be made more flexible and consistren~~gthened and made consistent acros~~t across agreements; proposes that the exclusivity clause should be included in the fisheries protocols and not the sustainable fisheries agreements; Amendment 128 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 14 14. Considers that the Fishing Authorisations Regulation should be amended so that EU-flagged vessels which have temporarily left the register of a Member State to seek fishing opportunities elsewhere are not ~~allowed to~~given priority in benefiting from fishing opportunities under the SFA if they subsequently return to an EU register; Amendment 142 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 16 16. Encourages the Commission in its endeavours to obtain complete and reliable data ~~from the coastal State~~and to develop the capacity of the coastal States to provide information on the total amount of fishing occurring in ~~its~~their waters, so as to prevent over- exploitation; Amendment 148 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 17 17. Reaffirms that EU vessels should not compete with local fishermen for the same resources in the same fishing grounds and on the local markets; Amendment 162 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 20 20. Fully supports the concept of decoupling compensation for access to fisheries resources from sectoral support for development; strongly insists that shipowners should pay a fair ~~and market- based portion of the former~~portion of the fees paid, in line with the market and competition situation, and that improved oversight ~~of the latter~~ is badly needed in this sphere, including the possibility of suspension of payments in cases of failure to fulfil commitments by the coastal State; Amendment 169 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 21 21. Insists that the Commission closely monitor the implementation of bilateral agreements, with annual reports being sent to Parliament and the Council, as well as evaluations performed by external, independent experts to be sent to the co- legislators prior to the negotiation of new protocols, all of which should be in the public domain, subject to individual and commercial data protection rules; Amendment 197 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 27 27.

Insists on the r~~apid expan~~evision of the ~~coverage of RFMOs so that all high seas fisheries are effectively managed with~~RFMO agreements, where this has not yet been done, to integrate the ecosystem approach into ~~ensure~~ resource ~~conservation; notes that this may require a combination of new RFMOs where none exist as well as an increase in the competence of existing RFMOs~~management and conservation; in addition, recalls its support for the creation of new RFMOs to supplement the network of existing RFMOs and make it comprehensive; Amendment 207 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 30 30. Believes that RFMOs must develop management systems that provide for an equitable and fair resource allocation based upon transparent environmental and social criteria~~, rather than the simplistic~~ as well as the criterion of historical catches, while ensuring that management and conservation measures are fully implemented by all members; Amendment 218 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 31 31. ~~Is firmly opposed to the EU supporting~~Takes the view that the adoption of rights-based management systems in RFMOs ~~which would~~should not jeopardise the livelihood of dependent fishing communities and should be the basis for effective fisheries management; Amendment 234 # Alain CADEC Motion for a resolution Paragraph 34 34. Believes that information on private agreements between EU shipowners and third countries, as well as joint ventures in third countries, including the number and type of vessels operating under such agreements and joint ventures, as well as their catches, should continue to be provided by the Member State to the Commission and made publicly available, subject to individual and commercial data protection rules, as laid down by Regulation 1006/2008; Amendment 242 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 35 35. Calls upon the Commission and the Member States to give ~~serious~~ consideration to methods for ~~prevent~~discouraging EU-flagged vessels from being deregistered unless they are to be reflagged to States in good standing in all relevant RFMOs and to make every effort to ensure that there is fair competition between EU flags and the flags of non-EU States, which is the best way of combating deflagging; to this end, calls for a solution to be found to the legal vacuum that exists when a fisheries partnership agreement (FPA) is in force, but the protocol for this FPA has expired and the new protocol is being negotiated, to avoid tempting shipowners to deflag; Amendment 248 # Alain CADEC, Estelle GRELIER Motion for a resolution Paragraph 37 37.
