According to the Commission, the fishing industry will not suffer major consequences, since the ban on trawling already exists, and because only the gear in contact with the bottom will be banned.

Whilst recognising the need to avoid postponing the adoption of measures to preserve the environment, which was left unprotected outside the 100-mile limits of the EEZs of the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands when the special access regime defined in Regulation (EC) No 2027/95 came to an end, the rapporteur is surprised at these interim measures, given that no new circumstances have arisen between 3 February and 16 August to justify urgent or emergency action, and he regrets the fact that the Commission appears to have jumped the gun in an ongoing institutional procedure in which Parliament will continue to play its part up to the end, as is its right and its duty.

Keskkonna-, rahvatervise- ja toiduohutuse komisjoni ARVAMUS
OPINION of the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety
nõukogu määruse ettepanek, millega muudetakse määrust (EÜ) nr 850/98 süvavee korallriffide kaitse kohta traalimise mõjude eest Atlandi ookeani teatud aladel
on the proposal for a Council regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 850/98 as regards the protection of deep-water coral reefs from the effects of trawling in certain areas of the Atlantic Ocean
Euroopa Komisjon teeb ettepaneku keelustada põhjatraalnootade ja kõigi teiste seadmete kasutamise, mis puutuvad kokku merepõhjaga Kanaari saari, Madeirat ja Assoore ümbritsevates vetes.
The Commission is proposing to prohibit the use of bottom trawls, or any other gear that comes in contact with the sea floor, in the waters around the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores.
See keelustamine kaitseks süvaveekorallide, õhuaurude ja karbonaatvallide kuhjumise tagajärjel moodustunud süvavee elupaikasid, kuna need looduslikud asupaigad sisaldavad teadaolevalt väga mitmekesist mereelustikku, mida võib ohustada kokkupuude kalapüügivahenditega.
This would serve to protect these deep-water habitats formed by aggregations of deep-water coral ( Lophelia pertusa ), thermal vents and carbonate mounds, as these habitats are known to contain high levels of marine biodiversity and to be very vulnerable to damage by physical contact with fishing gear.
Uus ühise kalanduspoliitika algmäärus
The new Basic Regulation of the Common Fisheries Policy
Määrus (EÜ) 2371/2002 nõuab, et ühendus võtaks vastu meetmed kalapüügi keskkonnamõju vähendamiseks.
Regulation (EC) 2371/2002 specifically requires that the Community adopt measures to reduce the environmental impact of fishing.
Seetõttu peaks parlament komisjoni ettepanekut tervitama, nõukogu selle ruttu vastu võtma ja liikmesriigid seda rakendama hakkama.
The proposal from the Commission thus deserves to be warmly welcomed by the Parliament, quickly adopted by Council and then implemented by Member States.
Süvavee korallide ja teiste süvavee tundlike elupaikade kaitsmine on maailma teadusringkondadele kujunenud kasvava mure põhjuseks.
The protection of deep-water corals and other sensitive deep-sea marine habitats has become an issue of increasing concern by the scientific community world-wide.
Helsingi Komisjonile koostatud raportis soovitasid Kirde-Atlandi merekeskkonna kaitse komisjon ja Euroopa Komisjoni kalanduse peadirektoraat ning Rahvusvaheline Mereuurimisnõukogu (ICES), et ainus tõestatud meetod süvavee biogeneetiliste riffide kaitsmiseks kalastamistegevuse eest, on veetavate püüniste, mis potentsiaalselt mõjutavad merepõhja, ruumiline sulgemine.
In a report prepared for the Helsinki Commission, the OSPAR Commission and the Directorate General for Fisheries of the European Commission, the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas advised that “ the only proven method of preventing damage to deep-water biogenic reefs from fishing activities is through spatial closures to towed gear that potentially impacts the bottom .”

Acting on the advice from ICES, the European Community and the relevant Member States, together with the other contracting parties of the Oslo and Paris Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic, committed to “ take immediate measures to protect coral reefs from further damage due to use of active fishing gear on the reefs.
Lisaks tagame, et aastaks 2005 määratakse kindlaks lisaohud külmvee riffidele ja võetakse kasutusele meetmed riffide kaitsmiseks nende ohtude eest."
Furthermore, we shall ensure that steps are taken by 2005 to identify additional threats to the cold-water reefs and that measures are taken to protect the reefs against these threats ."

Seoses ohtudega süvamere bioloogilisele mitmekesisusele avameredes põhjatraalnootadega kalapüügi tõttu märgib keskkonna-, rahvatervise ja toiduohutusekomisjon ÜRO Peaassamblee 2003. a üleskutset viivitamatult uurida, kuidas oleks võimalik teaduslikul alusel, kaasa arvatud ettevaatusabinõude rakendamise abil, tulla paremini toime mere ökosüsteeme ja bioloogilist mitmekesisust ähvardavate ohtude ja riskidega valdkondades, mis ei kuulu riikliku jurisdiktsiooni alla."
In relation to the threat posed by bottom trawl fishing to deep-sea biodiversity on the high seas, the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy notes the call by the UN General Assembly in 2003 to “ investigate urgently how to better address, on a scientific basis, including the application of precaution, the threats and risks to vulnerable and threatened marine ecosystems and biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction ”.

Komisjon märgib edasi, et bioloogilise mitmekesisuse konventsiooni poolte 7. konverents, mis peeti 2004. a veebruaris, kutsus ÜRO Peaassambleed ja liikmesriike eraldi üles rakendama kiireloomulisi lühiajalisi ja pikaajalisi meetmeid, et kaitsta süvamere bioloogilist mitmekesisust seda hävitava tegevuse eest.
The Committee further notes that the 7th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which met in February 2004, called upon the UN General Assembly and States individually to take urgent short-term and long-term measures to protect deep-sea biodiversity on the high seas from destructive practices.

Decision VII/5 of the Seventh Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity on Marine and Coastal Biological Diversity, paras 57-62.
Veebruar 2004.
February 2004.
Komisjon on arvamusel, et Euroopa Liit peaks toetama ÜRO Peaassamblee tegevust, mis on kooskõlas komisjoni ettepanekuga nende elupaikade kaitsmise kohta ühenduse vetes.
The Committee holds the view that the European Union position should be to support UN General Assembly action consistent with the Commission proposal to protect these habitats within Community waters.
Vähemalt on moratoorium põhjatraalnootadega kalapüügile avamere piirkondades õigustatud kuni õiguslikult siduvad süsteemid on rakendunud, et kaitsta süvamere bioloogilist mitmekesisust põhjatraalnootadega kalapüügi eest ning kaitsta ja hallata avamere põhjalähedasi kalaliike vastavalt ÜRO mereõiguse konventsioonile, 1995. a ÜRO kalavarude kokkuleppele, bioloogilise mitmekesisuse konventsioonile ja teistele asjaomastele instrumentidele.
At the very least, a moratorium on bottom trawl fishing in high seas areas is warranted until legally binding regimes are in place to protect deep-sea biodiversity from high seas bottom trawling and to conserve and manage the demersal fisheries of the high seas consistent with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the 1995 UN Fish Stocks Agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity and other relevant instruments.
See on täielikult vastavuses Euroopa Ühenduse ja liikmesriikide võetud kohustustega seoses ÜRO kalavarude kokkuleppega, eelkõige kohustusega rakendada laiaulatuslikult ettevaatuspõhimõtet ja kaitsta merekeskkonna bioloogilist mitmekesisust vastavalt 1995. a ÜRO kalavarude kokkuleppe artiklitele 5 ja 6.
This is entirely consistent with the obligations undertaken by the European Community and Member States as contracting Parties to the UN Fish Stocks Agreement, in particular the obligation to apply the precautionary approach widely and to protect biodiversity in the marine environment contained in the Articles 5 & 6 of the 1995 UN Fish Stocks Agreement.
Ainus ettepanek, mida raportöör võiks teha komisjoni kiiduväärt ettepanekule lisaks, oleks paluda edasisi teadusuuringuid, et teha kindlaks, millised teised piirkonnad ELi vetes vajaksid sarnast kaitset ja teha paar muudatusettepanekut selle eesmärgi saavutamiseks.
The only suggestion that your rapporteur would make to improve the Commission's laudable proposal would be to request further scientific studies to see what other areas in EU waters would deserve similar protection, and a couple of amendments to that effect are proposed.
Keskkonna-, rahvatervise- ja toiduohutuse komisjon kutsub kalanduskomisjoni kui vastutavat komisjoni üles viima järgnevad muudatusettepanekud oma raportisse:
The Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety calls on the Committee on Fisheries, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following amendments in its report:
1 a) Määruse (EÜ) nr 2371/2002 artikkel 2 sätestab, et ühise kalanduspoliitika hea juhtimistava põhimõtted sisaldavad otsuste tegemise protsessi, mille aluseks on usaldusväärsed teadusalased nõuanded ning sidusrühmade laialdane kaasamine poliitika kõigil etappidel.
(1a) Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 states that the principles of good governance guiding the common fisheries policy shall include a decision-making process based on sound scientific advice and the broad involvement of stakeholders at all stages of the policy.
See tähendab, et kalavarude majandamise asjus tuleks konsulteerida piirkondlike nõuandekomisjonidega valdkondades, kus pakutakse ühenduse alalhoiu- ja haldusmeetmeid.
This means that the Regional Advisory Councils should be consulted on fisheries management in the areas in which Community conservation and management measures are proposed.
Kalanduspoliitika raammääruses (määrus (EÜ) nr 2371/2002) sätestatud menetluskriteeriumitele mitteviitamine ei oleks õige.
It would be incorrect not to refer to the procedural criteria established in the CFP framework regulation (Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002).
Seega on asjakohane keelustada selliste seadmete kasutamine, mis võivad põhjustada tõsiseid kahjustusi korallriffidele piirkondades, kus nimetatud elupaigad on jätkuvalt soodsas kaitsestaatuses.
It is therefore appropriate to prohibit the use of gear which may cause real damage to coral reefs in areas where these habitats are still in a favourable conservation status.
Tuleks selgidata, et Euroopa Komisjoni meetmed viitavad seadmetele, mis kahjustavad korallriffe.
It should be clarified that the Commission's measures refer to gear which is damaging to coral reefs.
