".
The Commission’s main objective in tabling this proposal for a regulation to recover eel stocks is to set up national Eel Management Plans.
The proposal is intended to guarantee a 40% escape rate of adult silver eels from each river basin, an objective that will be difficult to meet. The proposal also treats all Member States in the same way, without taking account of their particular characteristics.
It is also proposed that there be a ban on fishing eel during the first 15 days of the month, which is excessive and would have a major socio-economic impact. These measures would have to be met by July 2007, a relatively short space of time.
In this regard, Parliament’s proposals strike a better balance and rectify some of the worst aspects of the Commission’s proposal, thereby helping to contribute towards the recovery of eel stocks.
The report replaces the ban on fishing in the first half of every month with a season in which the fishing effort is reduced by half. It also raises the 40% escape rate objective. It gives Member States the opportunity to operate solely in relevant river basins. Furthermore, the deadline for implementation has been extended to 2008. All of which gives greater powers to the Member States."@en1
