"The Commission will request the ranges of FMSY and other biological reference points from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). The Commission considers that, as a general rule, the fishing opportunities should be based on the best available scientific advice provided by ICES. In the unlikely event that ICES is either unable to provide the ranges of FMSY and other biological reference points or where there are serious reasons to believe that the advice issued by ICES does not meet the requirement for the best available scientific advice, the fishing opportunities will be based on the best available scientific advice that has either been issued or reviewed by an independent scientific body that is recognised at the Union or international level."

Reason:Commissioner Oettinger comprehensively addressed the requests raised in the resolution in the plenary debate that took place on 29 May 2018.
As regards the sharing of information and data, the Commission provided, together with its Communication on the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027, detailed tables of the budgetary allocations of individual programmes in current and constant 2018 prices, in order to provide a complete picture and facilitate negotiations. Concerning the overall size of the budget and the cuts on the Cohesion and Common Agricultural Policies, the Commissioner confirmed that the proposal adopted on 2 May 2018 (completed by the sectoral policies adopted between end of May and mid-June), is a fair and balanced proposal. It strikes the right balance between competing pressures: the new challenges facing our Union, delivering on the positive agenda agreed by Leaders in Bratislava and Rome on the future of Europe, and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom.
