Today, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU have reached a political agreement on the European Commission proposal establishing a multi-annual plan for demersal stocks in the North Sea, the second of its kind. Europêche welcomes the final adoption of this legislative proposal which, in the context of regionalisation, will bring decision-making closer to Member States and fishermen through the adoption of joint recommendations. However, many questions such as the implementation of landing obligation and negotiations with third countries still remain open and unclear.
El Consejo de la UE y el Parlamento Europeo han alcanzado un acuerdo político sobre un nuevo marco legislativo para la gestión sostenible de las flotas pesqueras externas. El nuevo régimen establece normas estrictas, transparentes y armonizadas para la expedición y gestión de autorizaciones de pesca a los buques de la UE que pescan fuera de las aguas comunitarias ya los buques extranjeros que faenan en aguas de la UE. Mientras Europêche coincidía en la necesidad de modernizar el sistema, el organismo pesquero instó a la supresión de determinadas disposiciones que amenazaban la supervivencia de las empresas pesqueras responsables. En este sentido, la asociación de pescadores celebra que su llamado a eliminar el infame "sistema de doble penalización" del texto del Reglamento fue finalmente aprobado por los colegisladores.
Le Conseil de l'UE et le Parlement européen ont conclu un accord politique sur un nouveau cadre législatif pour la gestion durable des flottes de pêche extérieures. Le nouveau régime prévoit des règles strictes, transparentes et harmonisées pour la délivrance et la gestion des autorisations de pêche aux navires de l'UE pêchant en dehors des eaux communautaires et aux navires étrangers opérant dans les eaux de l'UE. Bien que Europêche soit d'accord sur la nécessité de moderniser le système, l'organisme de pêche a insisté sur la suppression de certaines dispositions qui menaçaient la survie des entreprises de pêche responsables. En ce sens, l'association de pêche célèbre que leur appel à éliminer l'infâme «système de double peine» du texte du règlement a finalement été approuvé par les co-législateurs.
The Council of the EU and the European Parliament have reached a political agreement on a new legislative framework for the sustainable management of the external fishing fleets. The new regime sets out strict, transparent and harmonised rules for issuing and managing fishing authorisations to EU vessels fishing outside Community waters and to foreign vessels operating in EU waters. While Europêche agreed on the need to modernise the system, the fishing body urged the deletion of certain provisions which were threatening the survival of responsible fishing companies. In this sense, the fishing association celebrates that their call to eliminate the infamous “double penalty system” from the text of the Regulation was finally endorsed by the co-legislators.
