Securing the objectives of the landing obligation under Article 15 of the Common Fisheries Policy

Adopted

624 in favour · 29 against · 43 abstained. 696 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to submit, based on this evaluation and if appropriate, a legislative proposal in order to better achieve the objectives of reducing discards and improving stocks
• Regrets that the difficulties encountered in implementing the discard ban have led to a negative depiction of fishers and the efforts of the fisheries sector, despite the progress made in achieving the MSY objective
• Stresses the specificities of the outermost regions, particularly in terms of vessels, ageing fleets, and ports with reduced storage and processing capacity, which may render the landing obligation impractical
