REGULATION (EU) 2017/2107 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 15 November 2017
laying down management, conservation and control measures applicable in the Convention area of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), and amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1936/2001, (EC) No 1984/2003 and (EC) No 520/2007
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),
Whereas:
(1) |
The objective of the common fisheries policy (CFP), as set out in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), is to ensure an exploitation of marine biological resources that provides long-term environmental, economic and social sustainability. |
(2) |
By Council Decision 98/392/EC (4) the Union approved the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains, inter alia, principles and rules with regard to the conservation and management of marine living resources. In the framework of its wider international obligations, the Union participates in efforts made in international waters to conserve fish stocks. |
(3) |
Pursuant to Council Decision 86/238/EEC (5), the Union has been a Contracting Party to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (‘the ICCAT Convention’) since 14 November 1997. |
(4) |
The ICCAT Convention provides a framework for regional cooperation on the conservation and management of tunas and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and the adjoining seas through the setting-up of an International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). |
(5) |
ICCAT has the authority to adopt compulsory decisions (recommendations) for the conservation and management of the fisheries under its purview, which are binding for the Contracting Parties. Those recommendations are essentially addressed to the Contracting Parties to the ICCAT Convention, but also contain obligations for private operators (e.g. vessel masters). The ICCAT recommendations enter into force six months following their adoption and, in respect of the Union, they must be implemented into Union law as soon as possible. |
(6) |
A Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the sustainable management of external fishing fleets (6) will provide that that Regulation is to apply without prejudice to the provisions in Union law implementing provisions adopted by the regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) to which the Union is a Contracting Party. |
(7) |
The last implementation of the ICCAT conservation and enforcement recommendations was done through Council Regulations (EC) No 1936/2001 (7) and (EC) No 520/2007 (8). |
(8) |
The ICCAT recommendation concerning a multiannual recovery plan for Bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean was implemented by Regulation (EU) 2016/1627 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9). This Regulation does not cover such multiannual recovery plan. |
(9) |
When implementing those recommendations, the Union and Member States should endeavour to promote coastal fishing activities and the use of fishing gear and techniques which are selective and have a reduced environmental impact, including gear and techniques used in traditional and artisanal fisheries, thereby contributing to a fair... |
