19 ANNEX VI 0556/2015 Petition No 0556/2015 by Graham Buckingham (British) on behalf of Bite-Back Shark and Marine Conservation charity, on the reduction of the current 20kg personal import allowance of shark fins to zero The petitioner on behalf of Bite Back, the UK Shark and Marine Conservation charity, is calling on the European Parliament to close the current loophole that allows anyone entering the European Union to import 20kg of shark fins equivalent to 18 dead sharks for personal consumption. The personal import allowance is best known as the rule that restricts individuals from bringing any more than 1 litre of spirits and 200 cigarettes into the Union. Yet the same ruling allows anyone to import 20kg of shark fin worth as much as 4000 Euros to the Member States. The petitioner explains that shark fin soup is the primary incentive for fishermen to hunt sharks, the popularity of which dish even in Europe has contributed to a 90% decline of some key shark species over the past 50 years. The world s fishing fleets are now hunting the last 10% to the brink of extinction. The petitioner calls for this to stop for the sake of the global health of the oceans and the survival of a species. The petitioner underlines that investigations by Bite-Back clearly demonstrate that the personal import allowance is wholly facilitating the UK trade in shark fin soup and in the light of that he urges to make it illegal for individuals to import shark fins in to the UK and the rest of the EU. Information Bite Back Shark and Marine Conservation charity launched a petition website ( which has 120,450 supporters at the moment for the initiative; European Parliaments Research Service uploaded on its website a study titled Shark fins in Europe: implications for reforming the EU finning ban with a view to strengthening the EU Finning Regulation; ( On January 26, 2015 the Committee on Petitions discussed Petition 1816/2013 by Gareth Herd (British) on a ban on the sale of sharks fins in the EU; Parliamentary written question P by MEP Jean Lambert (Verts/ALE) of 17 July 2015 to the Commission addressed the same matter; Recommendation declare admissible; send to the petitioner the Commission reply to Petition 1816/2013; send to the petitioner the written question P and the Commission's reply; in order to further explore the European Parliament s position regarding this matter, send to PECH Committee for an opinion; ORIGINAL PETITION PV\ doc 19/35 PE v02-00

20 Petitioner Fullname Mr. Graham Buckingham Nationality British Name of association Bite-Back Shark and Marine Conservation Title Reduce the 20kg personal import allowance of shark fins to zero Document This is an invitation to change a European ruling. A ruling that s ignorant of the unsustainable slaughter of millions of sharks every year. A ruling that simplifies the trade in a highly controversial and unsustainable dish shark fin soup. Bite-Back, the UK Shark and Marine Conservation charity, is calling on the European Parliament to close the current loophole that allows anyone entering the EU to carry 20kg of shark fins equivalent to 18 dead sharks for personal consumption. The personal import allowance is best known as the ruling that restricts individuals from bringing any more than 1 litre of spirits and 200 cigarettes in to the EU. Yet it s the same ruling that allows anyone to bring 20kg of shark fin worth as much as 4000 Euros to the member states. With no questions asked. Shark fin soup is the primary incentive for fishermen to hunt sharks. The popularity of shark fin soup even in Europe has contributed to a 90% decline of some key shark species over the past 50 years. The world s fishing fleets are now hunting the last 10% to the brink of extinction. For the global health of the oceans and the survival of a species this has to stop. Investigations by Bite-Back clearly demonstrate that the personal import allowance is wholly facilitating the UK trade in shark fin soup. And it has to stop. It s time to make it illegal for individuals to import shark fins in to the UK and the rest of the EU. Please work with Bite-Back Shark and Marine Conservation to change the law. For good.

21 ANNEX VII 1042/2014 Petition No 1042/2014 by O.L. (French), on behalf of the French fishermen s association, on discriminatory aspects of the Regulation 1224/2009 on control system on common fisheries policy The petitioner draws the attention and criticises certain provisions in the Regulation 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. In particular he is challenging the Article 92(2) dealing with the points system related to natural or legal person who committing a serious infringement of the rules of the common fisheries policy, the appropriate number of points are to be assigned to the holder of the fishing licence as a result of the infringement. The points assigned are to be transferred to any future holder of the fishing licence for the fishing vessel concerned where the vessel is sold, transferred or otherwise changes ownership after the date of the infringement. The petitioner believes that this is a breach of the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the EU s Charter. He is calling for the EP to correct this, in his view, penalising Article of the Regulation. Information The text of the Regulation in its Article 92(2) reads: The holder of the fishing licence shall be entitled to review proceedings in accordance with national law.

22 ANNEX VIII 1043/2014 Petition No 1043/2014 by Jean Luc Cap Pilar-Tachet (French) on fisheries policy The petitioner criticises the recent changes in the fisheries sector, it is presumed, following the Regulation 1224/2009 on a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy which introduces a number of changes to the existing system for fishermen. The petitioner is unhappy about the introduction of electronic logbooks, point licenses etc. being introduced which in his view only harm the sector and those involved in it. Information Petition 1042/2014 concerned a similar issue.

23 ANNEX IX 1057/2014 Petition No 1057/2014 by Bruno Dachicourt (French) on behalf of Association of French fishermen, on Common Fisheries Policy The petitioner draws the attention and criticises certain provisions in the Regulation 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. In particular he is challenging the Article 92(2) dealing with the points system related to natural or legal person who committing a serious infringement of the rules of the common fisheries policy, the appropriate number of points are to be assigned to the holder of the fishing licence as a result of the infringement.

Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) financial resources are concentrated in Section III and Title 11, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and the compulsory contributions to Regional Fisheries Management Organisations and Sustainable Fisheries Agreements. 2. Common Fisheries Policy financial needs are a tiny share of the EU Budget, but it is a vital resource for the people and local communities whose livelihood and welfare depend on it. 3. Europe 2020 targets force a better coordinated increase in public and private investment which should be taken into account in the preparation of the draft budget for The Commission effort to enhance the use of the European Structural and Investment Funds in support of key priorities tasks must be reinforced. 4. Taken into account that 2017 budget will coincide with the mid-term review of the multiannual financial framework on the MFF , 2017 is the appropriate period to ensure that the Union is granted sufficient resources to effectively address internal and external actions and contemplate the necessary appropriations to respond to the financing needs. 5. The Committee on Fisheries stresses the need to maintain enough financial previsions for cofinanced activities to enable the coastal and artisanal fleet sectors to obtain funding; recognises that, on the basis of the general framework facilitated by the EMFF, the Member States have to set their funding priorities in such a way as to respond to the specific problems PE v /35 PV\ doc

25 of this sector and support the local and sustainable management of the fisheries concerned. 6. All the Operational Programmes on fisheries have recently been adopted by the Members States, so in the 2017 budgetary exercise the Commission and the national administration should speed up the actions to ensure a timely implementation of the projects concerned. 7. The Committee on Fisheries has doubts that the ongoing migration crisis can be financed within the actual resources available in heading 3. The recent Commission proposal on a European Border and Coast Guard package, an attempt to create synergies between agencies working in related areas, includes the European Fisheries Control Agency. Current financial provisions could be insufficient to achieve the new tasks. 8. The Committee on Fisheries points out that the increase in competences in this Agency should be reflected in its budget, thus we stress the need to exempt all posts of all agencies dealing with the migration crisis from the 5% staff reduction target. Kind regards, Alain CADEC PV\ doc 25/35 PE v02-00
