The specific activities undertaken by the European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries with regard to developments in gender equality in the common fisheries policy in recent years include the European Parliament resolution on women’s networks: fishing, farming and diversification (2004/2263(INI)), the European Fisheries Fund 2007-2013 and the 2010 hearing held by the Committee on Fisheries on women and the sustainable development of fisheries areas, which highlighted the difficult conditions faced by women in the fishing world and the need to promote women’s participation in all areas of fisheries policy.

Member States with a track record in bottom fishing catch or effort in the SPRFMO Convention Area over the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2006 shall limit their bottom fishing catch or effort in the Convention Area to those parts of the Convention Area where bottom fishing has occurred in that period and to a level that does not exceed the annual average levels of catches or effort parameters over the period from 1 January 2002 to 31 December 2006’.

(2) The Union is committed to implement the Resolutions adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations, in particular Resolutions 61/105 and 64/72, which call on States and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations to ensure the protection of vulnerable deep-sea marine ecosystems from the destructive impact of bottom fishing gears, as well as the sustainable exploitation of deep-sea fish stocks. Recommendations with measures developed and adopted by the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) to protect deep water vulnerable marine ecosystems against the adverse effects of bottom fishing gear, in accordance with paragra ...[+++]ph 83(a) of Resolution 61/105 and paragraphs 119(a) and 120 of Resolution 64/72, should be formally incorporated into Union law in their entirety.

2. Where, in the course of fishing operations in new and existing bottom fishing areas within the NEAFC Regulatory Area, the quantity of live coral or live sponge caught per gear set exceeds 60 kg of live coral and/or 800 kg of live sponge, the vessel shall inform its flag State, cease fishing and move at least 2 nautical miles away from the position that the evidence suggests is closest to the exact location where this catch was made.
