The impact of the implementation of the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU on fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins

2024/2126(INI)·10th term·PECH·INI
Summary

This own-initiative report examines the impact of implementing the Maritime Spatial Planning Directive 2014/89/EU on fisheries in selected fishing areas and sea basins. The amendments stress that fisheries and aquaculture, especially small-scale fishers and shellfish farmers, are under pressure from offshore renewable energy, marine protected areas and other blue-economy sectors, and call for better coordination between Member States, sea-basin and cross-border approaches, robust scientific and socio-economic assessments, and transparent stakeholder participation. Several address Brexit effects, coastal erosion, generational renewal, and the revision of the Directive under the expected EU Oceans Act.

8 roll-call votes

In 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 →
