Paragraph 3 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
| 3a. Points out that setting fishing quotas for a period of one year makes it difficult to plan and conduct business activities in the fisheries sector and to collect data on changes in stock sizes; stresses that multiannual quotas could give nature time to recover and provide businesses with the stability they need to plan investments, maintain employment and maintain port infrastructure; points out that the setting of fishing quotas should take into account not only environmental objectives, but also the socio-economic realities of coastal communities for which fishing is the basis of local development, employment and related sectors, including tourism; |
