Fishing vessels: emergency measure for scrapping

The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on the report by Daniel VARELA SUANZES-CARPEGNA (EPP-ED, Spain) and made some amendments to the Commission's proposal. (Please refer to the document dated 12/11/02.) Parliament pointed out once again that not all Member States have implemented mechanisms for the regulation and adjustment of their fleet, and that the Commission has not performed the monitoring needed to ensure that they are put into effect. The financing of the Community measure requires additional funding from heading 2 of the financial perspective under the 2003 budget, which can only be provided by the mobilisation of additional appropriations.�
