Traduction de «dérive nord-atlantique » (Français → Anglais) :

If the cod have migrated northwards due to global warming, pollution or the North Atlantic drift, then no amount of draconian measures will make them return.

For instance, the GEAC’s brief: advised Committee members not to view the 0A fishery in isolation from other fisheries in the Northwest Atlantic; argued that turbot in Subarea 0 is a component of a larger stock complex and that the TAC for turbot further south (in Subarea 2 and Divisions 3KLMNO) had been reduced by over 50% at NAFO’s September 2003 Annual Meeting because of conservation concerns; and noted that the fish is generally believed to spawn in northern waters (Divisions 0A and 0B), with spawn and larvae drift bringing younger fish to southern areas (Division 3L) and with a general northern migration taking place as the fish a ...[+++]ge ([73]) The DFO, for its part, stated that north-south stock interactions are at present unclear, and that it had not yet been determined that Division 0A is a nursery area for turbot ([74]) We heard that the waters around Pond Inlet and Ellesmere Island had yet to be surveyed.

Following the checks carried out under Article 29 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 instituting a control policy applicable to the common fisheries policy , and on the basis of all the information to be provided by the Member States concerned, the Commission is currently proceeding to the preparation of a report on the application of Community legislation relating to the use of driftnets in the Northeast Atlantic and in the Mediterranean, which will be sent to the members of the European Parliament Committee on Fisheries as soon as it is finalised.

However, vessels that have been driftnetting for the last two years in a limited section of the North-east Atlantic which includes high seas, may use, until December 31.1993, two contiguous nets of up to 2,5 km each in length, provided they are suspended two meters below the surface.

With this year's Northeast Atlantic tuna fishery (Albacore, also known as long-finned tuna or white tuna) expected to get under way within the next week or two, the European Commission held a meeting in Brussels on 16 May with the enforcement authorities of France, Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom to discuss and agree a set of measures designed to ensure efficient enforcement of the regulations concerning the use of drift nets and avoid any repetition of the unacceptable conflicts between different groups of fishermen which featured during the 1994 fishery.

The "Northern Horizon" is setting sail today from the port of Hull (U.K.) to take up duty as the Commission's chartered surveillance vessel for driftnet fishing in the NE Atlantic and Mediterranean.
