REGULATION (EU) No 579/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 8 June 2011

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms and Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 establishing transitional technical measures from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 (3) provides for the continuation of temporary technical measures previously covered by Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 43/2009 (4), thereby allowing those measures to continue to apply until the adoption of permanent measures.

(2)

In view of the forthcoming reform of the common fisheries policy (CFP) and its relevance for the content and scope of new permanent technical measures, it is appropriate to delay the adoption of such measures until a new legislative framework is in place.

(3)

In order to maintain the proper conservation and management of marine resources, and given that it can reasonably be expected that a new legislative framework will apply as from 1 January 2013, the technical measures currently in force should continue to apply until that date.

(4)

Consequently, since the temporary technical measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1288/2009 will cease to apply from 1 July 2011, that Regulation should be amended to extend their validity until 31 December 2012.

(5)

Fishing quotas for Boarfish (Caproidae) were established for the first time under Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 (5). It is therefore appropriate to clarify that boarfish may be targeted using towed nets with a mesh size range of 32 to 54 millimetres. Consequently, Annexes I and II to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 (6) should be amended accordingly,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
