Instead of being resolved, the problem continued to subsist in subsequent allocations of TACs, with the result that some Member States were not able to use up their quotas whilst others exhausted them in the first months of the year.

Council Regulation (EC) 2347/2002, which aimed to cap the expansion of these fisheries, imposed a series of highly restrictive conditions: the need for special fishing permits, a restriction on vessel capacity and requirements as regards reporting and monitoring, such as compulsory sampling schemes, the presence of observers onboard, the collection of data and the obligation to land catches in designated ports.

With the aim of improving protection for these stocks, the members of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC), including the EU, decided in 2004 that fishing effort should be reduced by 30% in 2005 and 2006, calculated on the basis of fishing effort in 2003, the first year for which catch data were available.

The Council of Ministers cut this percentage to 10% in 2005 plus an additional 10% in 2006 in order to cushion the socio-economic impact of the measure.

Bearing in mind the progress made in these fisheries and the many measures already being implemented by the Community fleet (even though they are not binding on other non-European fleets fishing in the same areas), its tone appears somewhat alarmist.

It is clear that the European fleet has restricted its fishing effort in recent years, through both cuts in TACs and capacity limitation and the creation of protected areas.

The Commission, which acknowledges that no biological or scientific information was available on this question when the classification was introduced, applies this term to all species caught at a depth greater than 400 metres, thus merging together a wide range of species which do not have any biological, zonal or morphological characteristics in common.

The lack of knowledge regarding their geographical structure and the lack of reliable scientific data mean that TACs and quotas are not only set for extremely broad management areas but are also highly restrictive, even going beyond the conditions imposed for species subject to recovery plans.

Given the amount of time that has elapsed, the Commission should be capable of differentiating between species requiring protection owing to their particular biological characteristics and other species that provide an alternative to demersal species and for which long-term fleet objectives should be set.

The Commission has already been obliged to withdraw species from the list on more than one occasion and to recognise that they are merely taken as by-catches in shallow-water fisheries.

With regard to the suitability of the TAC and quota system for managing these stocks, it is certainly true that, in mixed fisheries, it is not easy to apply either effort control measures or TACs, which are set for only nine of the 48 species listed in Annexes I and II of the Regulation.

Many people have pointed out that overrestrictive TACs could contribute to a higher number of discards, and they therefore suggest that exploratory assessments should be carried out in advance, in combination with increased monitoring, particularly of fleets.

The reductions for blue ling, and also for tusk, will indeed result in higher discard rates for these species when taken as by-catches, since these species live closer to the surface than others covered in the proposal.

As regards the management of fishing effort through capacity limitation, the Commission recognises that the inclusion of all vessels holding deep-sea licences (whether or not they intend to catch deep-water species) in the definition of vessels requiring special permits has led to control problems whilst at the same time unnecessarily restricting access to other fisheries.

The Commission attributes the lack of success achieved by effort control measures to non-compliance by some Member States, which raises the question of what action has been taken in view of this non-compliance and why the offenders have not been clearly identified and corresponding steps taken, given that some Member States have indeed met their commitments.

Even so, the data on aggregate effort provided by at least ten Member States indicate that fishing effort in 2005 was at most 65% of that deployed in 2000, in line with the NEAFC recommendations.

The Commission recognises that current effort controls, which apply to all fisheries combined even though some are more sustainable than others, should be adjusted in each specific case according to the target species and species taken only as a by-catch.

Experts stress the need for the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to identify for each species the stocks which can be exploited sustainably, and they are calling for more concise data as well as greater scientific rigour as regards sampling schemes, on the part of both the Commission and the ICES itself.

With regard to closed areas, for which no reliable data are available, they advise that these areas should be redefined and made smaller, since closing zones whose exploitation is feasible would lead in practice to illegal vessels fishing with greater impunity, given the lack of fishing interest among the Parties, which would exacerbate the scarcity of data with which to assess stocks in the area.

относно управлението на запасите от дълбоководни видове риби
on management of deep-sea fish stocks
Припомня своята резолюция от 14 ноември 2006 г. относно Тематичната стратегия относно защитата и опазването на околната среда
Recalls its resolution of 14 November 2006 on a Thematic Strategy on the Protection and Conservation of the Marine Environment
Приети текстове, P6_TA(2006)0486 . , в която се застъпва за приемането на поредица от мерки за насърчаване на устойчивото използване на моретата и опазването на морските екосистеми;
Texts Adopted, P6 _ TA(2006)0486. , in which it advocated a number of measures to promote a sustainable use of the seas and the conservation of marine ecosystems;
Изразява съгласие с Комисията във връзка с това, че настоящите равнища на експлоатация на запасите от дълбоководни видове риби неизбежно трябва да се понижат и че мерките в сила към момента са се прилагали недостатъчно добре, за да бъдат ефективни;
Agrees with the Commission that current levels of exploitation of deep-sea stocks must inevitably be reduced and that measures currently in force have been too poorly implemented to have been effective;
Изразява загриженост във връзка с това, че общият допустим улов е значително по-висок от препоръчания от учените (със средно 42-57 процента) и поради това призовава Комисията и държавите-членки да приемат съществено намаление на стойностите за общия допустим улов по отношение на застрашените видове;
Is concerned that the total allowable catches (TACs) have been substantially higher than those recommended by scientists (by an average of between 42 and 57 per cent) and therefore calls on the Commission and Member States to adopt a significant reduction in TACs for the threatened stocks;
Отбелязва със загриженост, че Международният съвет за изследване на моретата (ICES) в своите препоръки относно дълбоководните видове както от 2004 г, така и от 2002 г. посочва, че повечето видове се намират извън гарантираните биологични граници; изказва съжаление, че ЕС е ограничил риболовните си усилия в значително по-малка степен, отколкото се призовава в препоръките на ICES; подчертава освен това значението на по-добрите базови биологични данни, за да могат да се определят квоти, които да гарантират устойчив риболов;
Notes with concern that the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) points out in both its 2002 and 2004 recommendations for deep-sea species that most species are outside safe biological limits; regrets that the EU has reduced fishing effort to a significantly smaller extent than was called for in the ICES recommendations; stresses, further, the importance of improved biological background data in order to set quotas that will guarantee sustainable fishing;
Предлага да не се разрешава риболовът в дълбоководни райони, в които понастоящем не се извършва риболов, докато тези райони не бъдат изследвани и чрез прилагане на научни критерии не се достигне до мнението, че е възможно да се осъществява отговорна и устойчива риболовна дейност в съответствие с международните мерки и без опасност от намаляване на биологичното разнообразие или от нанасяне на вреди на местообитанията;
Proposes that fishing should not be permitted in deep-sea areas where there has not yet been any fishing activity until those areas have been investigated and the scientific opinion is that responsible sustainable fishing in keeping with international measures can take place without any risk of biodiversity depletion or habitat damage;
Изразява своята загриженост относно липсата на ефективност и слабото прилагане на регламентите в сила; призовава Комисията да подобри наблюдението и контролните процедури в държавите-членки;
Expresses its concern over the inefficiency and poor implementation of the current Regulations; calls on the Commission to improve monitoring and control procedures in Member States;
Подчертава значението на развитието на нови техники, за да се гарантира действаща контролна и надзорна система; приканва Комисията да продължава да разработва техники за контрол и във връзка с това обръща внимание на възможността за въвеждане на електронни дневници;
Stresses the importance of developing new techniques in order to ensure a functioning control and surveillance system; calls on the Commission to continue to develop control techniques, and points in this connection to the possibility of electronic logbooks;
Изтъква предимствата на създаването на мрежа от защитени морски територии в рамките на мрежата „Натура 2000“ и смята, че подобно действие ще има положително въздействие върху прекомерно експлоатираните рибни запаси; насърчава държавите-членки да се възползват от всички възможности, предоставени от свързаните с моретата елементи на мрежата „Натура 2000“;
Highlights the advantages of setting up a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) within the NATURA 2000 network and believes that such a move will have positive effects on overexploited fish stocks; encourages Member States to make use of all the possibilities afforded by the marine components of the Natura 2000 network;
Настоятелно приканва Комисията да положи всички усилия за гарантиране на прилагането и възможното подобрение на съществуващите международни споразумения за дълбоководен риболов;
Urges the Commission to make every effort to ensure implementation and possible improvement of existing international deep-sea fishing agreements;
Приканва Комисията да не възпрепятства държавите-членки при налагане на национални забрани за улов и други възможни ограничения на риболова, с цел да се гарантират устойчиви рибни запаси;
Calls on the Commission not to prevent Member States from imposing national fishing bans and other possible restrictions on fishing in order to ensure sustainable fish stocks;
Припомня целите, набелязани на Световната среща на върха по въпросите на устойчивото развитие в Йоханесбург през м. септември 2002 г., по-специално във връзка с поддържането или възстановяването на рибните запаси на равнища, които могат да осигуряват максимален устойчив улов с оглед на постигането на тези цели за изчерпаните запаси без забавяне и по възможност не по-късно от 2015 г.;
Recalls the targets established at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg on September 2002, in particular to maintain or restore fish stocks to levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield with the aim of achieving these goals for depleted stocks on an urgent basis and where possible not later than 2015;
Призовава Комисията и държавите-членки да разработят общи насоки, да обменят най-добри практики, да подобрят използването на наличните в Общността технологии и да осигурят участието на мозъчни тръстове и неправителствени организации с оглед на по-доброто прилагане на мерките за ограничаване на незаконния риболов и продажбата на незаконен улов на европейските пазари;
Calls on the Commission and the Member States to develop common guidelines, exchange best practices, improve the use of available Community technology and involve think tanks and NGOs in order to better implement measures to reduce illegal fishing and the sale of illegal catches on European markets;
Призовава Комисията и държавите-членки да насърчават съобразени с околната среда методи на риболов, които не нанасят вреди на околната среда и на биологичното разнообразие посредством нежелан страничен улов или ненужно увреждане на други живи организми;
Calls on the Commission and the Member States to promote more environment friendly catching methods which do not harm the environment and the ecological biodiversity as a result of unwanted by-catches or unnecessary injury to other living organisms;
Призовава Комисията да осигури по-тясното участие на съответните неправителствени организации в процеса за вземане на решения и да отдели по-голямо внимание на научните изследвания във връзка с последиците от прекомерната експлоатация на природните ресурси и използването на остарели методи и технологии, които оказват отрицателно влияние върху околната среда.
Calls on the Commission to involve the relevant NGOs more closely in the decision-making process and pay more attention to scientific studies on the consequences of over-exploitation of natural resources and the use of obsolete methods and technologies which have a negative effect on the environment.
