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 beginning of the bluefin tuna fishing season, the European Parliament has therefore accepted the possibility of implementing acts in certain specific cases. It underlines however, that those provisions shall not be taken or used as a precedent for regulating similar situations for effective transposition of future international conservation and management measures which have been established by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations and which become binding upon the Union in accordance with the terms of the international conventions setting up those organisations.
