Traduction de «Études sur la moraine de fond » (Français → Anglais) :

The fishing gear deployed in deep-sea fishing (bottom trawls, bottom-set gillnets, bottom-set longlines, traps, etc.) oil prospecting, installation of submarine cables, other prospective studies, etc., on the seabed can constitute serious threats to the survival of this common ecological heritage, as illustrated in scientific studies carried out in the north-eastern Atlantic, western Atlantic and Tasmanian Sea.

If, to be able to fish in these areas we are talking about, we require fleets to submit scientific studies for which the Commission has been unable to put a figure on costs, nor tell us whether the Member States will be in a position to assess the quality and respond to these scientific studies, yet if we require fleets to submit such studies to ascertain if the seabed is vulnerable or not, let us then be reasonable ourselves!

Agrees with the Commission on the need to adopt an ecosystem-based approach for this type of fisheries, whilst warning that the measures must have a minimum level of credibility and must not be applied wholesale but on the basis of environmental impact assessments, so as to avoid zones being closed where there is no risk, while closing zones to bottom fisheries where vulnerable marine ecosystems are known or likely to exist or where fish stocks are outside safe biological limits; research relating to the mapping of the seabed, interaction between the characteristics that make up ecosystems and the natural resources of the oceans mus ...[+++]t be a priority if the aim is for the new European maritime policy to become a reality;

The Commission shall take into accountexperience gained within the relevant international fora, such as the IMO and Euratom and the relevant international agreements, as well as the extent to which these instruments have entered into force and/or have been implemented by Member States and/or have been modified, taking account of all relevant instances of environmental damage resulting from such activities and the remedial action taken and the differences between the liability levels in Member States, and considering the relationship between shipowners' liability and oil receivers' contributions, ...[+++]having due regard to any relevant study undertaken by the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds.
