Amendment

(3)  The declining condition of Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) has been linked to that situation. According to ICES, the stock suffers from an unsustainably low biomass due to a combination of declining recruitment, environmental factors and changes in the ecosystem leading to a high natural mortality (about three times the fishing mortality), and an excessive fishing mortality given the status of the stock. The biomass of commercial sized cod is presently at the lowest level observed since the 1950s. Moreover, ICES estimates that the spawning stock biomass will remain below the sustainability reference point in the medium-term (2024) even with no fishing at all. In its stock advice for 2020 ICES therefore advises zero catches.

(5) Based on the stock assessment for Eastern Baltic cod, the Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/12485, prohibiting until 31 December 2019 to fish for cod in ICES subdivisions 24 to 26.

(5) Based on the stock assessment for Eastern Baltic cod, the Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/12485, prohibiting until 31 December 2019 to fish for cod in ICES subdivisions 24 to 26. That prohibition has had a significant impact on the Eastern Baltic region, especially on the small artisanal fishing sector. The prohibition also has had an impact on the Western Baltic fisheries.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6) On 15 October 2019, the Council adopted a political agreement on fishing opportunities for 2020 in the Baltic Sea. That agreement entails a necessary and unprecedented reduction of 92% of fishing opportunities for 2020 compared to 2019 for Eastern Baltic cod, and limits the use of this TAC to by-catches only. No targeted fishery for this stock is therefore to be allowed. Since in ICES subdivision 24 mostly Eastern Baltic cod is present, the use of the Western Baltic cod TAC in subdivision 24 is also limited to by-catches of Eastern Baltic cod.

Amendment

(7) The fishing fleets so far dependent on Eastern Baltic cod do not have the possibility to fish for other stocks as an alternative. It is estimated that offsetting the economic losses caused by the Eastern Baltic cod closure would require additional catches of around 20,000 tonnes in alternative species. However, the Council also agreed severe reductions for other stocks, and notably a reduction of 65% for Western Baltic herring, 60% for Western Baltic cod, 32% for plaice, 27% for herring in the Gulf of Bothnia and 22% for sprat.

The Western Baltic herring TAC was significantly reduced for the third consecutive year. The TAC for Western Baltic cod was also significantly reduced. Western Baltic cod and Western Baltic herring are therefore subject to reductions that are similar in impact to those which apply to Eastern Baltic cod.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8) Commission analysis shows that the fleet segments with the highest dependency on Eastern Baltic cod encompass more than 300 vessels, mainly trawlers and netters in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, and to a lesser extent, Denmark. These fleet segments are of significant socioeconomic importance, representing between roughly 20% and 50% of the respective national fleet in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, expressed in full-time equivalents. Only a minority seem resilient enough to survive a short-term – but not a medium or long-term – closure. The rest either suffer already from a poor situation that will be worsened by the closure or will see their profitability completely erode. Indeed, the quota uptake for Eastern Baltic cod has been below 60% for many years already, dropping further to 40% in 2018 and even lower in 2019 until the start of the Commission emergency measures in mid-July (19%), reflecting the biological problem with this fishery. Given that Eastern Baltic cod is not expected to recover to healthy levels even in the medium term, there will be a persistent structural imbalance for these fleet segments, thus justifying the restructuring of the fleet.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(11)  According to ICES advice published on 29 May 2019, approximately 70% of the cod landings in subdivisions 24-28 were taken by trawlers with a BACOMA with a 120 mm escape window or T90, and 15% of the cod landings were taken by gillnetters with mesh sizes between 110 mm and 156 mm. These métiers are generally considered to target cod and the minimum mesh sizes for them are set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 of the European Parliament and of the Council.7 The other métiers in the top 15 in terms of the amount of cod landings each contributed less than 5% to the total cod landings. It is important to ensure that the capacity levels of fleets fishing for Eastern Baltic cod do not increase and permanent cessation with public funds delivers an effective reduction of fleet capacity. The Member State capacity level of these two fleet segments should be capped at levels of active vessels in the most recent years before the application of emergency measures, i.e. 2017 and 2018, and should be reduced when vessels are withdrawn with public aid, with the aim of rebuilding the stock of Eastern Baltic cod.

(11) It is important to ensure that the capacity levels of fleets fishing for Baltic cod do not increase and permanent cessation with public funds delivers an effective reduction of fleet capacity. The Member State capacity level of the fleet segments concerned should be reduced to below the levels of active vessels in two of the five years immediately preceding the application of emergency measures, i.e. the years 2014 - 2018, and should be reduced when vessels are withdrawn with public aid, with the aim of rebuilding the stocks of Baltic cod.

Amendment

(16) In order to mitigate the adverse economic effects caused by the exceptional and persistent environmental situation in the Baltic Sea and the resulting severe reductions in fishing opportunities and in view of the specific measures provided for in the Multiannual plan for the Baltic Sea, public support for the permanent cessation of fishing activities through the scrapping of fishing vessels should be available to allow Member States to meet the objectives of their action plans under Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and reduce any identified structural imbalance in the fishing segments covered by the Baltic multiannual plan. Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly to reintroduce support for permanent cessation for the vessels that have significant dependence on Eastern Baltic cod.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The ecosystem in the Baltic Sea has been in a fragile state for decades. According to the findings of the most recent scientific studies of the state of the Baltic Sea, in addition to fishing a range of environmental factors, such as oxygen depletion, pollution levels, warming, lack of food, the prevalence of parasites and increased numbers of predators, are responsible for this worrying state of affairs.

 

Following the emergency measures for Eastern Baltic cod taken by the Commission on 23 July 2019, which are continuing to have a direct impact on the fisheries sector throughout the Baltic Sea region, on 15 October 2019 the Council adopted the quotas for 2020, including for Western and Eastern Baltic cod and Western Baltic herring. The TAC for Western Baltic herring was significantly reduced for the third year in a row (2018 -39%; 2019 -48%; 2020 -65%). The TAC for Western Baltic cod was also significantly reduced (-60%) and is now at the 2017/2018 level, which followed substantial cuts in 2017 (-56%) and 2016 (-20%). The reduction for Eastern Baltic cod in 2020 was particularly severe. The Council effectively banned fishing; only by-catches of cod are still allowed.

 

These results of these exceptional measures will be redundant fleet capacities and severe socio-economic problems for the relevant coastal communities and fishing businesses throughout the Baltic Sea region. As those affected in the fisheries sector can do nothing to mitigate the adverse consequences themselves, it is only right that the EU should take appropriate measures to reduce the impact. These should include the unbureaucratic provision of support to cushion the financial impact of the measures to reduce the capacity of the fleets concerned (permanent cessation). Where fishing capacity is out of kilter with fishing opportunities, Member States must develop and implement appropriate national action plans and inform the Commission of the progress made with them at least once a year. As an additional control measure, the principle of designated ports should be retained and relaxed only if stocks recover.

 

Introducing aid for permanent cessation is a response to an exceptional situation. This support will be made available in an unbureaucratic, flexible and prompt manner by redeploying existing funds within the EMFF, on the basis of co-financing at national level. This includes investments that contribute to the diversification of fishermen’s incomes. Support granted in the past for the temporary cessation of fishing activities will not count towards aid for the permanent cessation of fishing activities. They are two different forms of support which should not be lumped together.
