The impact on fisheries of marine litter
The dossier concerns the impact on fisheries of marine litter. The amendments cite the MARPOL and Barcelona Conventions and Sustainable Development Goal 14, and describe marine waste from land-based and sea-based sources ranging from nanoplastics and microplastics to lost containers and fishing gear. They address pollution of beaches, the water column and sea beds, effects on fishing communities, outermost regions and islands, and reduction, recycling and reuse of plastics.
Plenary votes
1 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
