Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment


(1a)      At the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in New York in 2015, the Union and
its Member States committed themselves by 2020, to effectively regulate harvesting and end
overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and
implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time
feasible, at least to levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield as determined by their
biological characteristics.

(12)      It is appropriate to establish the target fishing mortality (F) that corresponds to the
objective of reaching and maintaining MSY as ranges of values which are consistent with achieving

(13a)    When scientific evidence indicates that recreational fisheries have a significant impact
on the fishing mortality of a stock, the Council should take these fisheries into account. The
Council should be able to set a TAC for commercial catches which takes into account the volume of
recreational catches and/or to adopt other measures restricting recreational fisheries such as bag
limits and closure periods.

incremental basis, by 2020 for the stocks concerned, and it shall be maintained thereafter within
the ranges set out in Annex I and in line with the objectives laid down in Article 3(1).

1.         In accordance with Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, when the Council fixes
fishing opportunities for each stock, beginning for the 2021 fishing year, it shall establish those
opportunities to correspond to the estimated stock biomass in excess of MSY B-escapement, but
constrained to allow a fishing mortality that is not higher than F-cap.
The proportion of removable stock biomass in excess of MSY B-escapement shall be established
annually by STECF, so that the allowable catch results in less than a 5% probability of the
spawning stock biomass falling below B[lim].

Management measures


In order to achieve the targets established in Article 4, the following measures shall apply for a
period of four years:


(a) in 2019 the catch limits for small pelagics shall be set at the level of catch in 2017. From
2020, catch limits for small pelagics shall be adjusted in the light of scientific research data
and in accordance with the recommendations of the General Fisheries Commission for the
Mediterranean;


(b) the fishing effort of fishing vessels targeting small pelagics shall not exceed 180 fishing
days per year and 20 fishing days per month, with a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting
sardine and a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting anchovy;


(c) spatial and temporal fishing activity limits shall be implemented each year in order to protect
nursery and juvenile areas. Such limits shall cover the entire distribution of small pelagics in
the Adriatic Sea, for periods of no less than 15 continuous days and up to 30 continuous days. The
limits shall apply during the following periods: - for sardine, between 1 October and 31 March, and
for anchovy between 1 April and 30 September;


(d) for all fishing vessels whose overall length exceeds 12 metres, spatial and temporal closures
shall also be implemented of at least: 30% of the territorial waters of Croatia and Slovenia for at
least six months; 50% of the territorial waters of Italy for at least four months;


(e) By way of derogation from letter (d) above, in the area of the Gulf of Trieste from the western
coast of Istria to the Lim Channel, those spatial and temporal closures shall apply to fishing
vessels whose overall length exceeds 15 metres;


(f) the overall fleet capacity of trawlers and purse seiners actively fishing for small pelagic
stocks shall not exceed the registered fleet capacity of the active fleet in 2014 in terms of gross
tonnage (GT) and/or gross registered tonnage (GRT) and engine power (kW).

Article 4 a


Management measures


In order to achieve the targets referred to in Article 4, the following management measures shall
be introduced for all fleet segments having anchovy and sardine as their target species:


(a) the number of fishing days shall not exceed 180 in any one year and 20 in any one month; with
maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting sardine and with maximum of 144 fishing days per
year targeting anchovy;


(b) for all fishing vessels whose overall length exceeds 12 metres, spatio-temporal closures of
small pelagic fisheries:


(i) 30% of the territorial waters and inner sea which has been identified as a nursery area or area
important for the protection of early age classes of fish Croatia and Slovenia for at least six
months each year;


(ii) 50% of the territorial waters and inner sea which has been identified as a nursery area or
area important for the protection of early age classes of fish of Italy for at least four months
each year;


By way of derogation from point (b), in the area of the Gulf of Trieste off the western coast of
Istria to the Lim Channel, those spatio-temporal closures shall apply to fishing vessels whose
overall length exceeds 15 metres;


(c) temporal closure for small pelagic fisheries of at least 15 consecutive fishing days to be
implemented in the following spawning periods of the target species:


(i) for anchovy between 1 April and 30 September;


(ii) for sardine between 1 October and 31 March;


(d) in 2018 maximum catch limit for small pelagics shall be set at 2017 level. Starting from 2019,
maximum catch limit for small pelagics shall be gradually reduced each year for 3% in comparison to
previous year till 2022;


(e) overall fleet capacity of trawlers and purse seiners actively fishing for small pelagic stocks
shall not exceed values of active fleet registered in 2014 in terms of gross tonnage (GT) and/or
gross registered tonnage (GRT), engine power (kW) and number of vessels.

Or. <Original>{EN}en</Original>

<TitreJust>Justification</TitreJust>

This amendment responds to the main criticism levelled against the proposal for a Regulation, which
is that it does not contain management measures establishing catch procedures, time periods and
areas, with maximum permissible catches. As a first step, the management measures suggested will
enable the implementation of operational measures to regenerate biomass levels and achieve maximum
sustainable yield by 2020.

Management measures


In order to achieve the targets established in Article 4, the following measures shall apply for a
period of four years:


a) in 2019 the catch limits for small pelagic species shall be set at the level of catch in 2014,
as communicated in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EU) No 1343/2011. As from 2020, catch
limits for small pelagics shall be gradually reduced each year by 3% in comparison to the previous
year, until 2022. However, the reduction shall not apply if in the preceding year the total catch
is more than 2% below the 2014 catch level as defined above;


b) the fishing effort of fishing vessels targeting small pelagics shall not exceed 180 fishing days
per year and 20 fishing days per month, with a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting
sardine and a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting anchovy;


c) spatial and temporal fishing activity limits shall be implemented each year in order to protect
nursery and juvenile areas. Such limits shall cover the entire distribution of small pelagics in
the Adriatic Sea, for periods of no less than 15 continuous days and up to 30 continuous days.
Those limits shall be implemented during the following periods:


– for sardine between 1 October and 31 March, and


– for anchovy between 1 April and 30 September;


d) for all fishing vessels whose overall length exceeds 12 metres, spatial and temporal closures
shall also be implemented of at least:


30% of the territorial waters of Croatia and Slovenia for at least six months;


50% of the territorial waters of Italy for at least four months;


e) the overall fleet capacity of trawlers and purse seiners actively fishing for small pelagic
stocks shall not exceed the registered fleet capacity of the active fleet in 2014 in terms of gross
tonnage (GT) and/or gross registered tonnage (GRT) and engine power (kW).

Or. <Original>{IT}it</Original>

<TitreJust>Justification</TitreJust>

The management measures suggested will enable effective action to be taken to regenerate biomass
levels as from 1 January 2019. In addition, it is proposed that, from 2020, catches should be
reduced by 3% per annum from the 2014 level unless the measures introduced (spatial and temporal
closures, etc.) themselves reduce catches by more than 2% compared to 2014. The amendment indicates
procedures and the periods and areas in which catches may be made.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment


Notwithstanding paragraph 1, in order to achieve the targets set out in Article 4, the following
measures shall apply for a period of four years:


(a) in 2019 the catch limits for small pelagic species shall be set at the level of catch in 2014,
as communicated in accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EU) No 1343/2011. As from 2020, catch
limits for small pelagics shall be gradually reduced each year by 3% in comparison to the previous
year, until 2022. However, the reduction shall not apply if in the preceding year the total catch
is more than 2% below the 2014 catch level as defined above;


(b) the fishing effort of fishing vessels targeting small pelagics shall not exceed 180 fishing
days per year and 20 fishing days per month, with a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting
sardine and a maximum of 144 fishing days per year targeting anchovy;


(c) spatial and temporal fishing activity limits shall be implemented each year in order to protect
nursery and juvenile areas. Such limits shall cover the entire distribution of small pelagics in
the Adriatic Sea, for periods of no less than 15 continuous days and up to 30 continuous days.
Those limits shall be implemented during the following periods:


– for sardine between 1 October and 31 March, and


– for anchovy between 1 April and 30 September;


(d) for all fishing vessels whose overall length exceeds 12 metres, spatial and temporal closures
shall also be implemented of at least:


– 30% of the territorial waters of Croatia and Slovenia for at least six months;


– 50% of the territorial waters of Italy for at least four months;


(e) By way of derogation from letter (d) above, in the area of the Gulf of Trieste from the western
coast of Istria to the Lim Channel, those spatial and temporal closures shall apply to fishing
vessels whose overall length exceeds 15 metres;


(f) the overall fleet capacity of trawlers and purse seiners actively fishing for small pelagic
stocks shall not exceed the registered fleet capacity of the active fleet registered in 2014 in
terms of gross tonnage (GT) and/or gross registered tonnage (GRT), engine power (kW) and number of
vessels.

Or. <Original>{IT}it</Original>

<TitreJust>Justification</TitreJust>

One of the most critical points in the proposal for a regulation is that it does not provide for
any clear measures to establish fishing procedures, periods and areas. The management measures
suggested will enable effective action to be taken to regenerate biomass levels. In addition, it is
proposed that, from 2020, catches should be reduced by 3% per annum from the 2014 level unless the
measures introduced themselves reduce catches by more than 2% compared to 2014.

Provision of scientific data


To support the implementation of this plan, Member States shall conduct scientific surveys at sea
and provide catch data based on agreed scientific protocols as follows:


(a) for the stocks of anchovy and sardine, otolith readings and acoustic echograms shall be subject
to a joint international shared protocol between Italy, Croatia and Slovenia, to be developed by 1
December 2019;


(b) acoustic surveys carried out in the Adriatic Sea shall share the same harmonised scientific
protocol, in line with MEDIAS, and operate at sea in the same months each year to ensure full
comparability of results.;


(c) acoustic surveys shall be made available for the scientific evaluation of fishing opportunities
for the following year, at the latest one month after the completion of the survey;


(d) catch data for each stock must be provided on a monthly basis, catch at age information must be
provided by 1 November each year, to ensure full monitoring of the fishery and the provision of
scientific advice in sufficient time for the fixing of fishing opportunities.


Failure to provide the data and assessments listed in the preceding points shall lead to a
reduction in fishing opportunities of 10% for the following year.

Technical measures


1. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15 of this
Regulation and Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 regarding the following technical
measures:


(a) specifications of characteristics of fishing gears and rules governing their use, to ensure
selectivity, to reduce unwanted catches or to minimise, and when possible eliminate, the negative
impact on the marine environment;


(b) specifications of modifications or additional devices to the fishing gears, to ensure or
improve selectivity, to reduce unwanted catches or to minimise, and when possible eliminate, the
negative impact on the marine environment;


(c) limitations or prohibitions on the use of certain fishing gears and on fishing activities, in
certain areas or periods to protect spawning fish, fish below the minimum conservation reference
size or non-target fish species, or to minimise, and when possible eliminate, the negative impact
on the ecosystem; and


(d) the fixing of minimum conservation reference sizes for any of the stocks to which this
Regulation applies, to ensure the protection of juveniles of marine organisms.


2. The measures referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall contribute to the achievement of
the objectives set out in Article 3.

<TitreJust>Justification</TitreJust>

In many areas of the Adriatic, the crew is still busy minutes before returning to port sorting
catch into the appropriate boxes. Providing the above-mentioned notification prior to arrival in
port, which means masters of fishing vessels having to communicate a set of information about the
vessel and catch well in advance to the competent authorities of their flag Member State, is a
somewhat burdensome requirement.

2a.       By way of derogation from Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, the masters of
all Community vessels of an overall length equal to or more than 12 metres shall send the
information referred to in Article 14 of that Regulation before the start of landing operations



Or. <Original>{IT}it</Original>

<TitreJust>Justification</TitreJust>

Vessels subject to the requirements of this management plan and working on large fish species
should be allowed to complete the fishing logbook prior to commencing landing operations. Sending
this information prior to entering port in line with the general regulations can be difficult and
sometimes dangerous, given both the difficulty of docking and the large amounts of fish that have
to be sorted and boxed.
