   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   Adds new prohibitions and reporting duties, including a ban on catching cetaceans by longline and purse seine vessels, a ban on fishing in silky shark pupping areas, and rules on bluefin tuna margins of error. Changes reporting and notification duties for member states and the Commission on inspection vessels, vulnerable marine ecosystems, instrumented buoys and DFAD marking. Adds recitals on food sovereignty, socio-economic impact, strict transposition and delegated acts, and requires the Commission to engage with Parliament and the Council and assess the transposition process every three years. Extends the one-specimen retention limit for South Atlantic shortfin mako to smaller vessels, changes the time format to 23:59, adds a definition of electronic monitoring, and drops a sentence from the explanatory statement. The other changes are formal or wording: corrected citations, cross-references, punctuation and rephrased provisions.
