Report | June 11, 2015
Fisheries Committee draft report on proposal COM (2012) 371 for a regulation establishing specific conditions to fishing for deep-sea stocks in North-East Atlantic
Regulation (EC) 2347/2002, the “deep-sea access regime” has failed to ensure the sustainable management of deep-sea fisheries and ecosystems in the North-sea Atlantic Ocean. Many deep-sea species captured in the region are not covered by the regulation and therefore remain unmanaged while catches of all managed stocks have been deemed to life outside safe biological limits. The poor state of these stocks is unsurprising, given that only five commercial species are managed, while catches of all managed stocks have been deemed to life outside safe biological limits. The poor state of these stocks is unsurprisingly, given that only five commercial species are managed under total allowable catches (TACs), these limits have frequently been set higher than scientifically advised, and they have often been exceeded in practice.
The regime also leaves vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMES) unprotected from damaging bottom gears. In this respect, it fails to reflect international commitments made by the EU through United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolutions 61/105 and 64/72, which call upon flag states to implement conservation and management measures to protect in VMEs.
There is clear need for a revised management framework for deep-sea fisheries in the North East Atlantic. Oceana welcomes the commission proposal,
