COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2019/1570

of 16 September 2019

on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (3) | The CECAF aims to promote the sustainable utilisation of the living marine resources in its area of competence.

Because of its advisory status, the CECAF's recommandations are not binding on its members. |

Pursuant to point (d) of the Terms of Reference of its revised statutes, the CECAF provides advice on conservation and management measures (recommendations). Because of its advisory status, the CECAF's recommandations are not binding on its members.

| (4) | As stated in the Joint Communication by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission ‘International ocean governance: an agenda for the future of our oceans’, and the Council conclusions on that Joint Communication, the promotion of measures to support and enhance the effectiveness of the regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) and, where relevant, improve their governance and strengthen cooperation in key ocean areas in order to fill regional governance gaps, is central to the Union's action in those fora. |

| (5) | The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, to the Council, to the European Economic and Social Committee and to the Committee of the Regions ‘A European strategy for plastics in a circular economy’, refers to specific measures to reduce plastics and marine pollution as well as the loss or abandonment at sea of fishing gear. |

Therefore, to improve coherence among the Union's positions in all RFMOs and Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs) and to streamline the revision process, this Decision should be revised before the session of the CECAF in 2024. |
