Dear Ms Clark,

Subject: Access to documents from Member States on by-catch provisions in 2017 TACs (Ares(2017)1593443)

Thank you for your response to our access to documents request.

In view of the fact that the Member States have not provided scientific evidence to support their new requests for provisions allowing by-catches in fisheries targeting pelagic species, could you confirm that these provisions will not be included in Council Regulation (EU) 2017/127 through an in-year amendment until such time as the evidence is produced and assessed?

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ms Friel,

 

Thank you for your request of 25 July 2017.

 

We note that, in your request, you do not ask for access to any documents,
and that you rather ask for information as a follow-up of an earlier
access to documents request to which we sent you an answer on 24 March
2017.

 

Please note that the services of the Commission, at this stage, reserve
their position regarding the assessment of the situation and on any
possible future initiatives concerning proposals for amendments of Council
Regulation (EU) No 2017/127.

 

Any future proposals by the Commission will follow the principles set out
in the Basic Regulation, 1380/2013, including being based on the best
available scientific advice.

 

Best regards,
