(1) The common fisheries policy has been reformed by Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and Council28. The objectives of the common fisheries policy and the requirements for fisheries control and enforcement are set out in Articles 2 and 36 of that Regulation. Its successful implementation depends on the effective and up-to-date control and enforcement system.

(1) The objectives of the common fisheries policy, as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1380/201328 on the Common Fisheries Policy, are to ensure that fishing and aquaculture activities are environmentally sustainable in the long-term and are managed in a way that is consistent with the objectives of achieving economic, social and employment benefits, and of contributing to the availability of food supplies, whilst paying full regard to animal welfare, in accordance with Article 13 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and, where relevant, food and feed safety and animal health.

Or. en

Justification

The definition of 'fishing vessel' in its original meaning must be respected. It is not appropriate to broaden the content of a definition in the basic regulation in a recital in the Control Regulation. Broadening the concept of 'fishing vessel' will have a number of undesirable consequences. For instance, carrier vessels will now have to be included in a Member State's fishing fleet register and the capacity of such vessels will count towards the total quantity of fishing effort and fishing capacity. This will lead, among other things, to problems in adapting the fleet management, which Member States are required to carry out under Article 22 of the basic Regulation, since the maximum fishing capacity per Member State laid down in Annex II of the basic Regulation is not based on the capacity of carrier vessels.

it is important to control that fishing activities and fishing efforts of smaller vessels are in compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. However, for the majority of the small-scale coastal fleet, being obliged to carry an on-board tracking device could place a disproportionate burden on their fishing capacity. Member States shall therefore be empowered to exempt small-scale coastal fleet vessels making fishing trips of less 24 hours from the requirement to have a tracking device on board. Moreover, under the principle of proportionality, vessels operating exclusively in the internal waters of the flag Member State and natural persons fishing without a vessel, shall be exempted from the on-board tracking device requirement. In order to ensure an adequate level of control over both such vessels and natural persons, Member States should monitor their activities by carrying out regular inspections.

Considering the possible impacts of small scale fisheries on stocks, it is important to check that fishing activities and fishing efforts of smaller vessels are in compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain position data of those vessels. Therefore, Member States should be able to track all fishing vessels, including fishing vessels which are less than 15 metres' length which voluntarily opt to equip themselves with mobile devices, which are currently less expensive and easier to use. The costs associated with the purchase and maintenance of such devices will be borne by the EMFF so that they do not have to be borne by fishing businesses.

Justification

The introduction of a system to monitor the positions of vessels of less than 15 metres is a new requirement. Therefore, it is considered necessary to avoid making such devices mandatory while leaving open the possibility of acquiring such devices voluntarily, which will be financed through the EMFF.

in order to align certain of its provisions to the landing obligation set in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In order to allow the proper control of the landing obligation, it is necessary to equip, on the basis of a risk assessment, a certain percentage of fishing vessels should be equipped with continuous recording electronic monitoring devices including Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV). CCTV data may be supplemented by data from other electronic monitoring devices. Data from these devices, including from CCTV, will provide Member State officials with means to control compliance with the landing obligation at sea. The CCTV footage should only concern the gears and the parts of the vessels where fishery products are brought on board, handled and stored. Footage from CCTVs should be recorded locally and should be made available exclusively to Member States officials or Union inspectors upon requests in particular in the context of inspections, investigations or audits.

Justification

The use of CCTV is complex and difficult to arrange, particularly on small Mediterranean fishing vessels and given the type of fishing customarily practised in that area. For SMEs, and in particular those with smaller tonnage vessels engaged in small-scale fisheries (often managed in minimal ways and using minimal equipment), problems in adapting to new technologies can be expected unless practical support is provided to assist innovation.

Justification

The installation of TV cameras on board vessels in order to monitor their fishing activities is absolutely unnecessary. 75% of the Italian fleet, which is similar to the overall European figure, consists of vessels with a length of less than 12-15 metres, for which their installation would be complicated for obvious logistical reasons. As a result, the composition of the Italian fleet, which largely consists of small-scale fishing vessels operating in the Mediterranean Sea, fishing for a range of species of fish, cannot be regarded as being on a par with vessels of a size ranging from 38 to 42 metres and operating primarily in the North Sea, each fishing for only one specific species.

Continuous measuring of engine power is technically complex and potentially very costly. Any system for monitoring of engine power had to be cost-effective before being introduced and possible means of funding should be ensured via the EMFF.

Or. fr

Justification

An electronic fishing logbook is currently mandatory for fishing vessels of 12 metres’ length overall or more. The requirement for fishing vessels of less than 12 metres’ length overall to have an electronic fishing logbook therefore makes an adaptation period essential. Accordingly, and contrary to the other provisions of this regulation, which will be applicable two years after its entry into force, the provisions of this article concerning vessels of less than 12 metres’ length overall should apply only after a further two years. They would thus be applicable four years after the entry into force of this regulation.





Masters of Union fishing vessels belonging to the small-scale coastal fleet making fishing trips of less than 24 hours and natural persons engaging in fishing without vessels shall be exempt from the requirement set out in the first paragraph.

Or. es

Justification

In some cases involving the small-scale fishing fleet and fishing without vessels, being obliged to maintain a logbook could place a disproportionate burden on fishing capacity. In particular, the requirement for vessels making fishing trips of less than 24 hours to maintain a logbook is excessive. Member States should monitor their activities by means of a sampling

Justification

This requirement is considered to be too burdensome for small vessels in view of the nature of the business and the small quantities caught.

(ka) data on the fishing impact on the wider ecosystem including incidental catches of sensitive species, reporting in particular on the species caught, the number of occurrences, the date and time of the occurrences, the type of gear used and whether the specimen survived, in order to comply with other Union legislation, in particular Regulation (EU) 2017/1004, Directive 2009/147/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Directive 92/43/EEC, Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Directive 2014/89/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Justification

The reporting of by-catch of non-target species is already a requirement under the data collection framework, Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. The implementation of several other Union legal acts is depended on the electronic logbook. The reporting should therefore take place on all fishing vessels, regardless of where they are fishing and what gear they use, as a
