REGULATION (EU) 2022/2056 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 19 October 2022
laying down conservation and management measures applicable in the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention Area and amending Council Regulation (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) |
An 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 the exploitation of living aquatic resources in a way that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions. |
(2) |
The Union has, by means of Council Decision 98/392/EC (4), approved the United Nations Convention of 10 December 1982 on the Law of the Sea and has, by means of Council Decision 98/414/EC (5), ratified the Agreement on the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks, which contain principles and rules with regard to the conservation and management of the living resources of the sea. In the framework of its wider international obligations, the Union participates in efforts made in international waters to conserve fish stocks and strives to strengthen global ocean governance and to promote sustainable fisheries management. |
(3) |
By means of Council Decision 2005/75/EC (6), the European Community approved its accession to the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (the ‘Convention’), that establishes the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). |
(4) |
The WCPFC has the authority to adopt legally binding decisions (‘Conservation and Management Measures’ or ‘CMM’) for the conservation of fisheries resources under its purview. Those decisions are mainly addressed to the contracting parties to the Convention, but also contain obligations for the operators (for instance, masters of fishing vessels). |
(5) |
Upon their entry into force, the CMMs are binding on all contracting parties to the Convention, including the Union. |
(6) |
While relevant key provisions of the CMMs are implemented on an annual basis in the context of the fishing opportunities Regulation, the remaining provisions were last implemented under Title V of Council Regulation (EC) No 520/2007 (7). It is therefore necessary to ensure that the CMM adopted by the WCPFC are implemented into Union law fully and in a timely manner and are, therefore, uniformly and effectively implemented within the Union, and give clarity and predictability to operators of Union fishing vessels. |
(7) |
Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, Union activities in international fisheries organisations are to be based on the best available scientific advice so as to ensure that fishery resources are managed in accordance with the objectives of the CFP, in particular to ensure that the exploitation of living marine biological resources is environmentally sustainable in the long-term and restores and maintains populations of harvested species above levels which can produce the maximum sustainable yield, to provide conditions for an economically viable and competitive fishing... |
