Seas At Risk, 31 Jan 2024

On December 6, 2023, the European Commission has unexpectedly proposed the removal of Article 4(6) from the Baltic and North Sea Fisheries Multi Annual Plans (MAPs) and Article 4(7) from the Western Waters MAPs. These articles concern a safeguard for fisheries management in those sea basins,…

Ecologistas en Accion, 31 Jan 2024

Desde Ecologistas en Acción queremos expresar nuestro rechazo a la propuesta de la Comisión Europea de eliminar la regla del 5% puesto que es fundamental mantener objetivos ambiciosos, cuantificables y jurídicamente vinculantes que aseguren el cese temporal de la pesca sobre las poblaciones de…

Sciaena - Ocean # Conservation # Awareness, 31 Jan 2024

Sciaena is highly concerned with the European Commission's unexpected proposal to remove Article 4(6) from the Baltic, North Sea Fisheries Multi Annual Plans (MAPs) and Article 4(7) from the Western Waters MAPs, as these articles constitute a vital safeguard that prevents fish stocks from…

Consultation response

Comité national des pêches maritimes et des élevages marins, 31 Jan 2024

The CNPMEM is in line with the European Commissions proposal and supports the removal of this provision in the MAPs. Indeed, the application of the 5% rule (Article 4) could, for some stock, result in a situation that would be inconsistent with the other rules of the MAPs governing the fixing of…

Consultation response

European Association of Fish Producers Organisations, 31 Jan 2024

EAPO members welcome the Commissions proposal to delete the 5% rule. From EAPOs perspective, this will limit inconsistencies, ensuring that effective measures are carried out to rebuild fish stocks. Seeing as this proposal comes at the end of the mandate, EAPO members request that no further…

Consultation response

Low Impact Fishers of Europe, 31 Jan 2024

The Commission proposal is disappointing. The question of what to do once stocks are under MSY Btrigger and Blim is unresolved and the proposed amendment leaves us in a worse position than before. The proposal undermines the socioeconomic viability of the fishing industry, in particular the…

European Fishing Tackle Trade Association, 19 Dec 2023

<p>EFTTA, the European Fishing Tackle & Trade Association does not agree with changes, which water down the protection of fish stocks against overfishing.<br /><br />We agree that the MAP texts could be phrased better but this should not be achieved by lowering the stock protection level, which…

Consultation response

Coalition Clean Baltic, 31 Jan 2024

CCB does not approve of this proposal and suggests the best way forward is to withdraw it and start over. CCB considers that the Commission proposal is poorly justified, and that it is questionable both from a procedural point of view as well as from a legal point of view. CCB also notes that the…

Consultation response

BalticWaters, 31 Jan 2024

BalticWaters strongly disapprove to the removal of Article 4(6) of the Multi Annual Plans for the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea, and a majority of its commercial fish stocks, are under severe pressure. Populations are in decline and show no, or weak signs of recovery. Therefore, legislation needs to…

Consultation response

SHARKPROJECT Germany e. V., 31 Jan 2024

The proposed removal of Article 4(6) from the Baltic and North Sea Fisheries Multi Annual Plans (MAPs) and Article 4(7) from the Western Waters MAPs came without prior consultation and quite unexpected. Indeed the proposed removal would be a turn around of the EU's commitment to the sustainable…

Consultation response

Fiskesekretariatet, 31 Jan 2024

It is FishSecs view that the Commissions proposal should be rejected. We also object to the procedural handling of this proposal. A) The Commissions proposal to remove the failsafe from the multiannual management plans, i.e. Art. 4(6) of the Baltic MAP, which is there to protect vulnerable fish…

Stockholms universitet, 30 Jan 2024

The Stockholm University Baltic Sea Centres comments below refer primarily to the proposal to amend the Baltic MAP. They are to a large extent also relevant for the other MAPs. Summary - The Commission proposal should be withdrawn. It is faulty in content and the process leading up to the proposal…

Consultation response

Fischereischutzverband Schleswig-Holstein, 25 Jan 2024

Generell konnte sich die Anwendung des MSY-Prinzips als Grundlage für die nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung von Fischbeständen nicht bewähren, weil die Berechnungsgrundlagen bei der Einführung unvollständig waren. Es fehlten in der Berechnung die Rückwürfe in der Schleppnetzfischerei. die zu dieser Zeit…
