The proposal was drafted in 2006 and needs to be brought up to date, with, for example a reference to the Johannesburg Declaration, which requires that, as far as is possible, stocks be rebuilt and fished at MSY levels by 2015.

It is difficult to avoid the impression that the belief that the Baltic fleet's cod fishing capacity is, as things currently stand, unquestionably too high in relation to the fishing quotas available had a significant influence on the recovery programme set out in the proposal.

It should be noted that in the Member States that are looking for a means of further restricting fishing effort by introducing additional days on which cod fishing is prohibited, a tendency in favour of a 'days-at-sea' approach and against the closed-period approach followed to date is emerging.
