Change 1
ChangedJ. whereas in 2023 the EU fishing fleet numbered 70 280 vessels, of which 53 260 were still active in 2025; whereas engaged crew amounted to 119 479 fishers, corresponding to 73 974 full-time equivalents, marking a decline of around 2 % compared with 2022; whereas in 2023 the fleet landed 3.393,39 million tonnes of seafood valued at EUR 6.16,1 billion, representing a decrease of 2.62,6 % in volume and 12–1312-13 % in value compared to the previous year; whereas revenue in 2023 fell to EUR 6.476,47 billion (a decrease of 10.610,6 %) and net profit decreased sharply to EUR 59 million, down 61 % from 2022, resulting in a net profit margin of just 0.90,9 %; whereas these figures highlight a loss of structural, economic and strategic capacity, as well as fishing opportunities and fishing grounds, which must be urgently addressed to ensure the EU’s food sovereignty and the viability of the sector15;sector;

Updates decimal separators and footnote markers in the recital on fleet figures, with no change to the figures themselves.
Change 2
ChangedO. whereas illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which may account for up to 19 % of global catches16,catches, presents serious threats to marine ecosystems, fish stocks and the livelihoods of fishing communities, thereby jeopardising food security and the sustainability of the sector and its professionals; whereas the EU has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to IUU fishing, both within its own waters and in non-EU countries; whereas this approach should guide the EU in relation to the requirements set out in the sustainable development chapters of its new generation of free trade agreements;

Removes a footnote marker from the recital on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
Change 3
Changed10. Welcomes the Vademecum adopted by the Commission presenting best practices that Member States could use for allocating fishing opportunities in order to improve transparency, promote sustainable fishing, and highlight possibilities used by Member States to support different fleet segments, such as small-scale fisheries, as well as dedicated implementation dialogues; insists on the recommendations included in its resolution of 7 June 2022 on the implementation of Article 17 of the CFP Regulation17;Regulation;

Change 4
Changed21. Calls on the Commission, alongside the Member States, to remain vigilant in ensuring that non-EU countries exporting fisheries and aquaculture products to the EU adhere to international standards, particularly those promoting decent working conditions; urges, furthermore, the timely implementation and rigorous enforcement of relevant regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive18Directive and the Fisheries Control Regulation, to prevent the entry into the EU of products linked to a high risk of human rights abuses and/or IUU fishing, while, in line with WTO commitments, appropriately sanctioning businesses that violate these regulations and as a result threaten efforts to create a level playing field;

Calls on the Commission and the Member States to fully implement Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 on the prohibition of products made with forced labour on the Union market19,market, in particular with regard to fishing and aquaculture products, and to promote the strengthening and harmonisation of import controls, enforcement regimes and sanctions across the Member States to ensure that products stemming from forced labour do not enter the EU market;

Change 6
Changed44. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to ensure strong, easily accessible and clearly ring-fenced funding for the implementation of the CFP in the new MFF, with a view to providing support for the development of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors and their transition towards greater sustainability and competitiveness; stresses that such funding should also contribute to ensuring a fair standard of living for fishers and aquaculture farmers, enhance the sector’s attractiveness for a new generation, and strengthen its contribution to food security, while duly recognising the unique characteristics of fisheries and aquaculture; rejects, in this context, the proposed 67 % reduction in ring-fenced funding; recognises that the current EMFAF alone is insufficient to cover the substantial costs of modernising and renewing the EU’s fishing fleet and that significant investments, estimated at between EUR 10 billion and EUR 25.625,6 billion20,billion, are required to renew, modernise and decarbonise the fisheries sector, which small businesses cannot always afford through ordinary resources alone;

Updates the decimal separator and removes a footnote marker in the paragraph on funding and investment estimates.
Change 7
Changed47. Believes that an EU fleet renewal plan is crucial for a successful decarbonisation and transition to more sustainable fishing; calls on the Commission to consider raising the ceiling for de minimis aid for the fisheries, aquaculture and shellfish farming sectors, as provided for in Regulation (EU) 2023/239121,2023/2391, to support the adoption of low-emission technologies, sustainable renewal or adaptation of the fleet, and energy efficiency throughout the supply chain; notes, furthermore, that emissions or fuel used for fishing activities should not be taxed following an EU-level obligation until new propulsion technologies and carbon-neutral fuels are commercially available and accessible; urges the Commission to ensure that social and economic sustainability, especially for coastal artisanal fishing, are on an equal footing with environmental sustainability; considers, furthermore, that innovative practices must be developed with the full cooperation of the industry and believes that sub-state legislatures and governments with competencies in fisheries management have a crucial role to play in ensuring locally adapted and effective solutions; calls on the Commission to ensure that price shocks in fuel costs are mitigated for the sector;

Stresses that small-scale coastal fishing, particularly in island and outermost regions, is a cornerstone of the economic, social and cultural fabric of many local communities; calls, as a matter of priority, on the Member States to strengthen financial and policy support for traditional sustainable fisheries practices, small-scale and artisanal fisheries, as well as shellfish gatherers; recognises the need for specific measures and increased support for the outermost regions in order to support the sector in overcoming structural disadvantages and ensuring the viability of local fishing communities; encourages these regions and the respective Member States to use all possibilities under the CFP to allow for the necessary and better adaptation of rules and procedures to local specificities and realities; calls on the Commission to evaluate the possibility of re-establishing a programme of options specifically relating to remoteness and insularity, based on the so-called Fisheries POSEI Regulation22,Regulation, which is now integrated into the current EMFAF, in order to support the sector in overcoming structural disadvantages and ensuring the viability of local fishing communities;
