ANNEX TO THE LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

Statement of the European Parliament and of the Council on data collection

The European Parliament and the Council request the Commission to fast track the adoption of a proposal to amend Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 in order that the principles and objectives for data collection that are essential to support the reformed Common Fisheries Policy and set out in the new Regulation on the CFP can be given practical effect as early as possible.

Statement of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on multi-annual plans

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission are committed to working together to address inter-institutional issues and agree a way forward that respects the legal position of both the Parliament and the Council to facilitate the development and introduction of multi-annual plans on a priority basis under the terms of the Common Fisheries Policy.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission have established an inter-institutional taskforce, composed of the representatives from the three institutions, in order to help find practical solutions and the most appropriate way forward.
