BY PARLIAMENT

Amendment 1

Recital 3a (new)

Regulation (EC) No 1281/2005 modifies the provi-

ment tool.

Amendment 3

The objective should be to provide for rational and

term development and its economic and social conditions and
the interest of consumers, taking into account the biological
constraints with due respect for the marine eco-system.

Amendment 4

Recital 3d (new)

(3d)
Conservation decisions have important effects on the
economic and social development of those regions of the
