Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing for 2007 and 2008 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks  /* COM/2006/0554 final */  

	[pic] | COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES |Brussels, 28.9.2006COM(2006) 554 finalProposal for aCOUNCIL REGULATIONfixing for 2007 and 2008 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks(presented by the Commission)EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMCONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL |110 | Grounds for and objectives of the proposal Deep-sea stocks are fish stocks caught in waters beyond the main fishing grounds of continental shelves. They are distributed on the continental slopes or associated with seamounts. These species are slow-growing and particularly vulnerable to overexploitation. For 2005 and 2006 the fishing opportunities for deep sea species were established in Council Regulation (EC) No 2270/2004 of 22 December 2004 fixing for 2005 and 2006 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) provides scientific advice on deep sea stocks very two years. The latest advice was given in June 2006, and provides the basis for the proposed total allowable catches (TACs) for 2007-2008. This advice indicates that most exploited deepwater species are harvested unsustainably, and ICES has recommended immediate reductions in established deep-sea fisheries unless they can be shown to be sustainable. No deep-sea fisheries currently meet this criterion. ICES has advised that the most appropriate conservation measures for these species would be based on effort limitation and reduction. However, restricting catches by means of quota management of fisheries is considered to be a useful complementary conservation measure. The Commission is currently preparing a review of the effort management regime for deep-sea species and later in 2006 will present a separate proposal regarding future effort management. The scope of the present proposal is therefore limited to the setting of TACs. This proposal aims to fix fishing opportunities on deep-sea stocks that are in accordance with the scientific advice provided by ICES. |120 | General context For 2005 and 2006 the fishing opportunities for deep sea species were established in Council Regulation (EC) No 2270/2004 of 22 December 2004 fixing for 2005 and 2006 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. Due to the urgent requirements for conservation of these species, it is desirable to implement these measures unilaterally while continuing to seek agreement on harmonised measures within the relevant regional fisheries organisation (NEAFC, the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission) with the other countries concerned. The fixing and sharing of possibilities for fishing falls exclusively within the competence of the Community. The Community's obligations for sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources arise from obligations set out in Article 2 of Regulation No 2371/2002 of the Council of 20 December 2002. Such fishing opportunities should be in accordance with international agreements covering precautionary management and the sustainable use of fisheries resources, inter alia the United Nations agreement concerning the conservation and management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. |139 | Existing provisions in the area of the proposal There are no existing provisions in the area of the proposal. |140 | Consistency with other policies and objectives of the Union The measures proposed are designed in accordance with the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy and is consistent with the Community's policy on sustainable developments. |CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT |Consultation of interested parties |211 | Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents The North Sea Regional Adviory Council (NSRAC), North Western Waters Regional Advisory Council (NWWRAC) as well as the stakehoders that will be represented in the as yet unformed South Western Waters Regional Advisory Council (SWWRAC) have all been informed of the main elements of the proposal. In addition, the Member States concerned have been informed at various meetings of the internal working party of the Council. |Collection and use of expertise |221 | Scientific/expertise domains concerned The Community requests ICES and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) for scientific advice on the state of important fish stocks. |223 | Main organisations/experts consulted The scientific organisations consulted were the International Council for the Exploitation of the Seas (ICES) and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). |2249 | Summary of advice received and used |225 | For all the stocks covered by this proposal, there are insufficient data to demonstrate the sustainability of the fisheries. ICES advises that, it is appropriate in most cases to reduce fishing opportunities until they can be shown to be sustainable. This proposal aims to follow this advice, but in order to mitigate the socio-economic impact the reductions necessary to do this are spread over a period of up to 3 years. In view of the vulnerability of deep-sea species to overfishing and their long recovery times, the Commission believes that reducing the TACs more gradually than this would carry an unacceptable risk of long-term damage to the deep-sea ecosystem Where the levels of exploitation corresponding to the scientific advice could be achieved in less than three years without exceeding reductions of 33% per year, the proposed TACs are fixed accordingly. The mixed nature of many deep-sea fisheries is also taken into account. Where ICES advice is for a significant reduction on one stock that is taken in a mixed fishery for another for which the advice is less restrictive, the TAC is fixed on the basis of the most endangered stock. Existing quotas that are small and intended to cover inevitable by-catches are maintained in order to avoid creating an obligation to discard. The proposed TACs are calculated using the reported catches in 2005. In most cases, official catch figures are used. However, in cases where ICES reports significantly higher Community catches than indicated by official figures, the ICES figures are used as the baseline. This is because they are likely to be more realistic, and also because the use of the lower official figures would reward failures to report all catches. The scientific advice is that there should be no fishing on orange roughy in any of the TAC areas. The orange roughy protection area introduced in Regulation 2270/2004 in ICES Divisions VI and VII is nevertheless maintained, given the depleted state of the stocks around the seamounts in those areas and given the continued availability of quotas outside of the closed areas. |230 | Impact assessment The proposal will significantly reduce the fishing opportunities on deep-sea stocks. Although landings of deep-sea species represent only a very small proportion of the economic value of total Community landings, the loss of opportunities will inevitably cause financial hardship to the fleets concerned. However, the proposal must be seen as part of a longer term approach whereby the level of fishing is gradually reduced to sustainable levels, and which therefore aims to guarantee the long term health of the industry as well as safeguard the deep-sea ecosystem. |LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL |305 | Summary of the proposed action The proposal is designed to provide fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep sea species in the years 2007 and 2008 in accordance with scientific advice. |310 | Legal basis The legal basis for this proposal is Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and in particular Article 20 thereof. |329 | Subsidiarity principle The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Community. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply. |Proportionality principle The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s). |331 | The proposal is based on Article 20 of Regulation 2371/2002, according to which the Council shall decide on catch and/or fishing effort limits and on the allocation of fishing opportunities among Member States. |Choice of instruments |341 | Proposed instruments: regulation. |342 | Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s). This proposal replaces an already existing Regulation. |BUDGETARY IMPLICATION |409 | The proposal has no implication for the Community budget. |ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |570 | Detailed explanation of the proposal The proposal fixes for 2007 and 2008 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. The TACs and quotas allocated to Member States are given in the Annex. New scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) indicates that most exploited deepwater species are harvested unsustainably, and ICES has recommended immediate reductions in established deep-sea fisheries unless they can be shown to be sustainable. No deep-sea fisheries currently meet this criterion. ICES has advised that the most appropriate conservation measures for these species would be based on effort limitation and reduction. However, restricting catches by means of quota management of fisheries is considered a useful additional step in applying conservation measures. The Commission is currently preparing a review of the effort management regime currently in place for deep-sea stocks, and later in 2006 will present a separate proposal regarding future effort-management. The scope of the present proposal is therefore limited to the setting of TACs. This proposal is designed to provide fishing opportunities in accordance with scientific advice. |E-6459 |1.  Proposal for aCOUNCIL REGULATIONfixing for 2007 and 2008 the fishing opportunities for Community fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocksTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy[1], and in particular Article 20 thereof,Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,Whereas:(1) Under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 the Council is to adopt the measures necessary to ensure access to waters and resources and the sustainable pursuit of fishing activities taking into account, inter alia , available scientific advice.(2) Under Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, it is incumbent upon the Council to establish fishing opportunities by fishery or group of fisheries and to allocate them in accordance with prescribed criteria.(3) The latest scientific advice from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) concerning certain stocks of fish found in the deep sea indicates that those stocks are harvested unsustainably, and that fishing opportunities for those stocks should be reduced in order to assure their sustainability.(4) The ICES has further advised that the exploitation rate of orange roughy in ICES Area VII is much too high. Scientific advice further indicates that orange roughy in Area VI is heavily depleted, and areas of vulnerable aggregations of these species have been identified. It is therefore appropriate to prohibit fishing for orange roughy in those areas.(5) In order to ensure effective management of quotas, the specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be established.(6) In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year to year management of TACs and quotas ([2]), it is necessary to indicate which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein.(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation should be fixed by reference to ICES zones as defined in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December 1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the Northeast Atlantic ([3]) and to CECAF zones (Committee for Eastern Central Atlantic Fisheries) as defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/95 of 23 October 1995 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in certain areas other than those of the North Atlantic ([4]).(8) The fishing opportunities should be utilised in accordance with the Community legislation on the matter, and in particular with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States' catches of fish ([5]), Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1381/87 of 20 May 1987 establishing detailed rules concerning the marking and documentation of fishing vessels ([6]), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy([7]), Council Regulation (EC) No 1627/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down general provisions concerning special fishing permits ([8]), Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 of 30 March 1998 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms ([9]) Council Regulation (EC) No 2347/2002 of 16 December 2002 establishing specific access requirements and associated conditions applicable for fishing for deep-sea stocks([10], and Council Regulation (EC) No 2187/2005 of 21 December 2005 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures in the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the Sound, amending Regulation (EC) No 1434/98 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 88/98[11].HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:Article 1 Subject-matterThis Regulation fixes for 200 7 and for 2008, for stocks of deep-sea species and for Community fishing vessels annual fishing opportunities in zones in Community waters and in certain non-Community waters where catch limitations are required, and the specific conditions under which fishing opportunities may be utilised.Article 2Definitions1.
