"With regard to the implementation plan adopted at the UN world summit on sustainable development in Johannesburg in 2002, the European Community undertook, among other things, to maintain or renew fish stocks at levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield, with the aim of a more rapid achievement of these goals in the case of exhausted stocks, and by 2015, if possible. Economically speaking, the western stocks are the most important stocks of horse mackerel in Union waters. Biological information on these stocks is insufficient for an overall assessment allowing fish mortality targets to be set for fishing related to the maximum sustainable yield, which could back up the total allowable catch with scientific forecasts in this area. According to the preventive scientific recommendations, the annual catch of western horse mackerel was supposed to be kept below 150 000 tonnes for several years from 2003, on the assumption that stocks would remain sustainable at this level of exploitation, even without an exceptionally large supplementation of stocks in the future.
The areas for which restrictions are set annually on the overall catch of horse mackerel do not line up with the borderline stocks of this fish species in the Atlantic Ocean. We must ensure that the harvesting rules ensure a preventive management plan for these stocks."@en1
