There are seven EU proposals for consideration today. The first is COM (2012) 371, a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council establishing specific conditions for fishing for deep sea stocks in the north-east Atlantic and provisions for fishing in international waters of the north-east Atlantic and repealing Regulation No. 2347/2002/EC. It is proposed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed that the proposal does not warrant further scrutiny. Is that agreed? Agreed.

COM (2012) 447 is a proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council amending Council Regulation No. 812/2004/EC laying down measures for incidental catches of cetaceans in fisheries and amending Regulation No. 88/98/EC.
