The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Philippe MORILLON (ALDE, FR) making some amendments to the Commission’s proposal:
- the word "recovery" is replaced by "management" in the title of the legislation and through most of the text;
- the management plan shall aim to maintain the sole stocks concerned within safe biological limits.
This replaces the Commission’s text which speaks of rebuilding the sole stocks concerned to within safe biological limits;
- Parliament has made several amendments to TAC values;
- Commission limits of 50kg are replaced with 100kg;
- the Annex is deleted.
