1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 8..8 SWD(8) 6 final PART /6 COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT Accompanying the document PROPOSAL FOR A REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL Establishing a multiannual plan for the fisheries exploiting demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean Sea {COM(8) final} - {SWD(8) 9 final} EN EN

2 ANNEX 8: ALARMING STATE OF MOST DEMERSAL STOCKS This annex provides an overview of the state of most demersal stocks in the western Mediterranean Sea. It also shows the evolution of the problem over time. Source: Gibin et al. (7). The STECF MED&BS Database Visualisation Dashboard. Scientific Information system and database, JRC9. Evolution of the problem of overfishing for demersal stocks exploited in the western Mediterranean Sea Figure A8. Evolution of the problem of overfishing for most demersal stocks exploited in the western Mediterranean Sea (from to ). Overfishing is expressed as the ratio between current fishing mortality and the target fishing mortality at MSY levels (i.e. F/F MSY ). The red area indicates overfishing (i.e. F > F MSY ) and the green area indicates sustainable fishing activity (i.e. F < F MSY ). This figure indicates that the large majority of stocks have been continuously exploited well beyond sustainable levels. 77
