the best way to achieve the extra reduction of 10% of fishing time for cod over and beyond the summer closures agreed within IBSFC: while several delegations concerned could support an additional 10% reduction of the fishing effort, some of them suggested alternative techniques including one day of closure per week, the first days of the month or an extension of the existing closure period (2 months in the Western Baltic, 3 months in the Eastern Baltic) or even the scrapping of vessels, a few delegations stressed that the situation regarding cod stocks in the Western Baltic was much better than in the Eastern Baltic and therefore asked f ...[+++]or differentiated treatment as regards the possible reduction of the number of days at sea authorised in the different areas of the Baltic Sea; the alternative to a complete ban on all gear catching cod while ensuring a similar level of protection for cod during the closure periods: some delegations suggested exempting certain species from the ban as well as using selective gears to avoid fishing cod as a by-catch while others called for the exemption of certain fishing gears from the ban.

Measures to prevent waste generation and to re-incorporate waste in the economic cycle ("closing the materials loop"), i.e. waste recovery, are therefore an important element of a comprehensive approach to resource management.

(g) "shared access to the local loop" means the provision to a beneficiary of access to the local loop or local sub loop of the notified operator, authorising the use of the non-voice band frequency spectrum of the twisted metallic pair; the local loop continues to be used by the notified operator to provide the telephone service to the public.

(f) "full unbundled access to the local loop" means the provision to a beneficiary of access to the local loop or local sub loop of the notified operator authorising the use of the full frequency spectrum of the twisted metallic pair.

(e) "unbundled access to the local loop" means full unbundled access to the local loop and shared access to the local loop; it does not entail a change in ownership of the local loop.

Permitting 'unbundled access to the local loop' means allowing other operators to use, partially or fully, the local loops installed by incumbent telephone operators.
