"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Stevenson, and the Committee on Fisheries for their work on this proposal.
With this proposal, we are aligning the management plan for west of Scotland herring to the Treaty of Lisbon. As with previous management plans, we again face the risk of an institutional disagreement between Parliament and the Council.
I welcome the fact that Parliament is fully exercising its new rights under the Treaty. As my colleague, Commissioner Damanaki, has said before, the Commission fully shares Parliament’s position that multiannual management plans should be adopted under the ordinary legislative proposal.
I would also like to thank Parliament for supporting the Commission’s empowerment to adjust parameters in the management plan in case science evolves. This will help ensure that the management plan is adaptive and reflects at all times the best scientific information available.
I would like to refer to some specific amendments. First, regarding the definition of the stock and the area covered by the plan, the rapporteur’s proposed amendment is acceptable. Second, regarding the duration of the empowerment for the Commission, the proposal of a three-year renewable empowerment period is acceptable. However, the management plan foresees a four-year cycle for its review and evaluation. Therefore, it might be useful if the two cycles coincided.
Finally, I would like to react to the proposed amendment whereby the Commission, before adopting delegated acts, would have the obligation to consult the Scientific, Technical, and Economic Committee on Fisheries and the North-Western Waters Regional Advisory Council.
Under the Common Understanding on delegated acts, agreed by Parliament, Council and Commission in May last year, the Commission must ‘carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level’ before adopting delegated acts. The proposed amendment would go beyond this obligation and would limit the Commission’s discretion to seek the best advice in each case. Therefore, we are unfortunately not in a position to support this amendment.
I would again like to thank the rapporteur and the Committee on Fisheries for their work and look forward to the discussion on this subject."@en1
