19	2011/0195(COD) Common Fisheries Policy 2012/06/25 PECH 19 amendments... Amendment 403 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS 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~~raises concerns regarding their concentration and the creation of monopolies; It may be implemented on a voluntary basis by Member States, respecting the subsidiarity and proportionality principle, 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. Amendment 415 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Recital 29 a (new) (29 a) Considers that the Commission should undertake fleet assessments in order to obtain credible results vis-à-vis the precise situation of overcapacity at EU level, thus making it possible to propose appropriate and targeted instruments for its reduction.

Member States, in respect to the subsidiarity and proportionality principle, should be empowered to make use of the most appropriate measures to reduce overcapacity, where necessary, according to the specific characteristics of different fishing fleets, and Sea basins. Amendment 437 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS 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. Amendment 453 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS 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 to align the number of Union fishing vessels with available resources. Such measures should set compulsory maximum fleet capacity ceilings in line with reliable data and establish national entry/exit schemes in relation to decommissioning funding granted under the European Fisheries Fund. Amendment 474 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Recital 36 (36) Member States should manage and make available to end-users of scientific- data the collected data, on the basis of a multi-annual Union program. Member States should also cooperate with each other to coordinate data collection activities.

Those agreements, which provide for access rights in exchange for a financial contribution from the Union, should contribute to the establishment of a high quality scientific data collection system and a high quality governance framework to ensure in particular efficient monitoring, control and surveillance measures. Amendment 622 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS 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 conservation and exploitation of living marine biological resources restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield. Amendment 685 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 – point a (a) e~~liminate unwanted catches of commercial stocks and gradually ensure that all catches of such stocks are landed~~ncourage the use of selective fishing practises through the development and use of selective gear and other means in order to eliminate unwanted catches; Amendment 706 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 – point b (b) provide conditions ~~for efficient~~and incentives for efficient and sustainable fishing activities within an environmentally and socio- economically viable and competitive fishing industry; Amendment 736 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 – point d (d) contribute to the creation of direct and indirect sources of job in our maritime regions and to a fair standard of living for those who depend on fishing activities; Amendment 754 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 – point e (e) take into account the interests of consumers by dully informing them of the origin of the product they are consuming and of its nutritional quality; Amendment 757 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 – point f (f) ensure systematic and harmonised data collection and management. and adjust the multiannual plans according to these findings; Amendment 781 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new) The establishment of the right instruments to support an ecosystem- based fisheries management embraced by the multiannual management plans; Amendment 789 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 4 – paragraph 1 – point a a (new) (a a) establishment of clear and simple rules at the appropriate level, using a bottom-up approach thus increasing compliance; Amendment 800 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 4 – paragraph 1 – point c (c) a long-term perspective ensured by sufficient financial means in order to support all the reform measures; Amendment 805 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 1 – article 4 – paragraph 1 – point d (d) broad involvement of stakeholders and stronger dialogue and cooperation with the Regional Advisory Councils (RACs) at all stages from conception to implementation of the measures; Amendment 1054 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 3 – article 7 – paragraph 1 – point b (b) establishing targets for the sustainable exploitation and conservation of stocks; Amendment 1165 # Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Proposal for a regulation Part 3 – article 9 – paragraph 1 1.

Declares that water is a shared resource of humankind and a public good and therefore should not be a source of profit, and that access to water should constitute a fundamental and universal right; stresses that the sustainable use of water is an environmental and health necessity that plays a fundamental role in the climate regulation cycle; reiterates that ‘the management of water resources should not be subject to internal market rules’ (EP Resolution P5_TA (2004)0183) and invites the European Commission to review the relevant legislation, particularly that on public procurement and concessions~~, so as to guarantee public ownership and management of water and water utilities~~; Amendment 27 # Peter JAHR, Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Draft opinion Paragraph 9 9. Invites the European Commission to be more determined in its inquiries~~, and therefore much less passive and accommodating~~ in relation to the specific implementation of the WFD, and to urge the Member States consistently to make concrete progress; Amendment 29 # Peter JAHR, Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Draft opinion Paragraph 10 10. Draws attention to the existence of certain activities denounced by the petitioners, including waste landfills, agriculture and industry, which ~~produce a great~~ impact on the environment and human health and are said to be responsible for ~~poor water quality; calls therefore for the abandonment of subsidies which undermine incentives for efficient water management by creating overuse, and to free up funds for targeted subsidies~~the poor quality of the water; calls therefore for the establishment of more targeted incentives for efficient water management and – in particular for poor and rural populations – ~~aimed at~~ affordable access to water for all; Amendment 35 # Peter JAHR, Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Draft opinion Paragraph 11 11. Regrets that the European Commission proposal amending the WFD (COM (2011)876) adds only 15 new chemical substances from a list of 2000 potentially dangerous substances that should be monitored and reduced, and fails to set out clear timetables to phase out the most dangerous chemicals, despite explicit legal requirements agreed upon since 2000; asks, therefore, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, in its recommendation to the Commission, to pay particular attention to the priority substances mentioned above – very often identified by petitioners as ‘toxic and radioactive waste’ – given the high degree of risk they pose, as water contaminants, to human health and the aquatic environment; Amendment 43 # Peter JAHR, Nikolaos SALAVRAKOS Draft opinion Paragraph 14 14. Asks the Commission to develop and publish in 2012 a road map to set recommendations focusing on improving the efficiency of water resources and land use, ~~implementing ecosystem protection measures under the CAP,~~ developing an approach for mainstreaming the water issue into all policies and improving governance of water management as well as research and data collection; in this context welcomes the increasing inclusion of environmental regulations in the CAP; the Commission is also invited to publish in 2012 a ‘Blueprint to safeguard EU water’ based on the review of the WFD implementation, the review of the EU Water Scarcity and Drought Policy as well as the review of the EU adaptation policy as related to water management; source: PE-486.133
