Multiannual plan for the stocks of cod, herring and sprat in the Baltic Sea and the fisheries exploiting those stocks

Proposal for a regulation
COM(2014)0614 - C8-0174/2014 – 2014/0285(COD)

Committee on Fisheries

Amendment 6
Anja Hazekamp

Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 1 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

1 a. Target fishing mortality range

Western Baltic cod 0

Eastern Baltic cod 0

(To replace the mortality ranges in the table)

Justification

Since the cod is classified by IUCN as an endangered species and the Baltic stocks are in a deplorable state, Baltic cod should not be fished. The mortality ranges suggested by the Commission proposal are dangerously high, especially regarding the Eastern Baltic cod, for which adequate data is lacking.
