Technology transfer: feeding sea urchins: testing of camera-equipped suction equipment

When Member States submit joint recommendations in accordance with Article 19 to allow for the use or extend the use of innovative fishing gears including the pulse trawl as described in Part E of Annex V within a specific sea basin, they shall provide an assessment of the likely impacts of using such gears on the targeted species and on sensitive species and habitats.

13. Considers that rules regarding technical measures should be established through the appropriate use of the regionalisation process and be based on common centralised principles and definitions, including common objectives and standards to be applied throughout the EU, including a list of prohibited species and fishing gear, a set of specific rules for the larger sea basins and a number of specific technical regulations, all of which would be adopted by ordinary legislative procedure; notes that regionalisation would apply to rules applicable at regional level or subject to frequent changes and should be re-evalu ...[+++]ated on a regular basis;

23. Calls on the Commission to submit, at the earliest opportunity, a proposal for a regulation laying down common technical measures for fishing in the Adriatic-Ionian sea basin and specifying the admissible fishing effort, fishing periods and fishing gears and other relevant management measures;

J. whereas the Adriatic-Ionian sea basin is a multi-species fishery in which multi-gear fishing activities are carried out, ranging from small-scale artisanal fishing to demersal trawling and from pelagic mid-water trawling to recreational fishing;
