Control measures adopted by the Northwest Atlantic fisheries organisation NAFO (amend. Regul. 189/92/EEC)

By adopting the report by Mr Robin TEVERSON (ELDR, UK), the European Parliament approved this proposal for regulations with the following amendments: -Parliament considers that, if the prosperity of the fishing industry is to be ensured in the long term, fish stocks, and especially shrimp, in the NAFO area should be protected, -with a view to improving the protection of stocks, it wants the Commission to submit to it and to the Council a report assessing the current and future health of shrimp stocks in the NAFO area and the effects of the regulatory regime on the development of stocks, -it considers that technical means should be made available to prevent shrimp fishing from causing mortality among young cod, redfish and other related species particularly affected by this type of fishing.�
