The European Parliament adopted by 668 votes to 7, with 10 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
Parliament’s position adopted at first reading according to the ordinary legislative procedure amends the Commission proposal as follows:
Since it is proposed to make use of delegated acts, Parliament proposes to limit the delegation of power to a period of three years from the date of entry into force of the Regulation and to oblige the Commission to present a report on its exercise in order to have a regular evaluation and questioning of the use of the delegation.
The Commission should carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work for the adoption of delegated acts, including at expert level, so that it has objective, rigorous, complete and up-to-date information.
