# Fish stock conservation: multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean

European Parliament procedure 2011/0144(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 7th term, committee ENVI / PECH). Stage: Procedure completed. 17 committee amendments tabled by 10 Members between 2011-09-15 and 2011-11-28.

## What the amendments focus on

A proposed multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean for fish-stock conservation. The amendments invoke recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the precautionary approach and maximum sustainable yield targets, propose prohibiting purse-seine fishing and identifying spawning-ground sanctuaries, and add enforcement and penalty provisions; one amendment proposes rejecting the Commission proposal.
