Translation of "static target " (English → French) :

9. Notes that the CFP measures vessel capacity in terms of power (kilowatt) and size (gross tonnage) and that, however, these measures do not take into account technological progress in fishing methods, which complicates the task of setting appropriate targets for its reduction; notes that the Commission wants to maintain these static parameters until the end of 2015;

3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, it shall be permitted to conduct fishing activities using inshore static nets fixed with stakes, scallop dredges, gears that target queen scallops, mussel dredges, handlines, mechanised jigging, gill and tangle nets, draft nets and beach seines, pots and creels within the specified areas and time periods, provided that:

New conditions will also apply to static nets involving an increase in mesh sizes in some targeted fisheries.

As we all know, nothing is static in the area of health. That's why our strategies for managing risk to health and promoting population health all need to be targeted, but also need to be flexible.

Mr. Hooper: I think it comes back again to Senator Campbell's question and my comment about the relatively static nature of our target inventory.

In the light of these fundamental considerations, and reflecting the debate in Council, COREPER should urgently scrutinise all the elements of the Commission Proposal and should take note in its examination of the following points in particular: - the proposed aggregate capacity reduction rates are generally considered to be too high; - the appropriate relationship should be ensured between the scientific recommendations and proposed reductions; - the need to address the issue of technical progress; - the scope for deployment by Member States at national level of effort management schemes as an alternative or complement to capacity reductions, based on a fully transparent approach; - the permanency, or otherwise, of activity reductions; ...[+++] - the need to ensure sufficient flexibility in fleet segmentation so as to reflect the varying situations in Member States, including the treatment of multi-purpose fleets targeting several stocks and the need for appropriate weightings; - the agreed scope for widening the specific treatment of small-scale fishery; - the need for the specific treatment of static gear to be non- discriminatory vis-à-vis towed gear, fully transparent and properly monitored; - the need to ensure that the principle of relative stability is fully observed".
