ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

Statement by the European Parliament on implementing acts

The European Parliament declares that the provisions of this Regulation regarding implementing acts are the result of a delicate compromise. In order to achieve a first reading agreement before the expiry of Regulation (EC) No 850/98 by the end of 2012, the European Parliament has accepted the possibility of using implementing acts in certain specific cases in Regulation (EC) No 850/98. The European Parliament stresses, however, that those provisions are not to be taken or used as a precedent in any regulation adopted in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, in particular the Commission proposal for a regulation amending Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 concerning the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms.
