Amendment

Article 3a

Coherence with Union environmental legislation

1. The plan shall apply the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management.

2. In order to ensure that negative impacts of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem are minimised and that fisheries activities avoid the degradation of the marine environment, the plan shall be coherent with, and shall contribute to achievement of the objectives of, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive so as to achieve good environmental status by 2020. In particular, it shall:

(a) aim to ensure that the conditions described in descriptor 3 contained in Annex I to that Directive are fulfilled;

(b) aim to contribute to the fulfilment of descriptors 1, 4 and 6 contained in Annex I to that Directive in proportion to the role played by fisheries in their fulfilment.

Justification

The scope of the Baltic Multiannual Plan needs to reflect the language which was agreed in Article 2(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Moreover, the amendment guarantees coherence with recital (3) of the Commission proposal.
