REGULATION (EU) 2022/2495 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 14 December 2022

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | Union fishing vessels have equal access to Union waters and resources subject to the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Union fishing vessels have equal access to Union waters and resources subject to the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

| --- | --- |

(3)

In accordance with that Regulation, Member States are authorised to restrict fishing to fishing vessels that traditionally fish in those waters from ports on the adjacent coast in waters up to 12 nautical miles from their baselines.

| (4) | Member States are also authorised to restrict access to waters up to 100 nautical miles from the baselines of the Union outermost regions referred to in Article 349, first paragraph, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to vessels registered in the ports of those regions. |

Member States are also authorised to restrict access to waters up to 100 nautical miles from the baselines of the Union outermost regions referred to in Article 349, first paragraph, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to vessels registered in the ports of those regions.

| (5) | Existing rules restricting access to resources within the 12 nautical mile zones of Member States have benefitted conservation by restricting fishing effort in the most sensitive part of Union waters.

Those rules have also preserved traditional fishing activities on which the social and economic development of certain coastal communities is highly dependent.

(6)

Existing rules restricting access to marine biological resources around the Union outermost regions referred to in Article 349, first paragraph, TFEU have contributed to the preservation of the local economy of those regions, having regard to their structural, social and economic situation.

| (7) | The existing derogations concerning restrictions to access to Union waters will expire on 31 December 2022. Those derogations should, however, be extended for a period of 10 years beyond that date, in order to ensure continuity of the current protection measures and to avoid disrupting the balance that has been achieved since the introduction of this special regime. Those derogations are an integral part of the CFP and the duration and scope of that extension may be revised in the framework of any review of the CFP. |
