3 Tuesday, 17 May :30-18:30 Meeting with the scientists from the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, the Inland Fisheries Institute and West Pomeranian University of Technology Venue: National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Gdynia The National Marine Fisheries Research Institute (NMFRI) in Gdynia is Poland s oldest marine science centre. Since 2000, the Institute has been supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). The NMFRI s mission is to provide advice on human activities affecting and affected by marine ecosystems. The main research interests of the NMFRI include disciplines that enable an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, i.e. marine ecology, marine chemistry, fishing gear technology, and fishery economics. The area of innovative and technical research done by the NMFRI comprises fish processing technology and mechanization as well as food and environmental chemistry. *** The Stanisław Sakowicz Inland Fisheries Institute in Olsztyn was founded in The Institute is also subordinate to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The Institute conducts a wide variety of research and publishing activities which aim to disseminate information about and popularize fisheries. The scientific disciplines pursued at the Institute include specializations such as ichthyobiology, limnology, aquatic ecology, hydrobiology, veterinary sciences, and economics. *** The West Pomeranian University of Technology was established in 2009 by merging two institutions, but the Faculty of Food Sciences and Fisheries is over 59 years old, as it was the oldest faculty of the Agricultural Academy in Szczecin. Dr. Zbigniew Steve Karnicki of the National Marine Fisheries Research Institute welcomed participants, briefly presented the history and activity of the NMFRI and introduced the scientists taking part in the meeting.

4 In their presentations the scientists mostly focused on the main species of fish exploited by the Polish fishermen in the Baltic Sea, such as cod, sprat and herring, as well as species grown in aquaculture farms, mainly carp and rainbow trout. Some presentations also focused on different elements affecting the Baltic Sea fisheries, such as climate change, environment pollution, overfishing, etc. The specificities of spawning and recruitment of some of the fish species targeted by fishermen in the Baltic Sea were also discussed. One scientist also presented a series of machines for the automated processing of fresh fish, particularly carp, which was developed by the West Pomeranian University of Technology. The presentations were followed by an extensive debate with the Members. PE v /15 CR\ doc
5 Wednesday, 18 May :00-14:00 Study visit to the sturgeon hatching and rearing centre Venue: Sturgeon stocking centre, Grzmięca, Poland On invitation of the Polish Angling Association (Polski Związek Wędkarski (PZW)), Parliament s mission went on a study visit to a sturgeon hatching and rearing centre, located in the village of Grzmięca, about 180 km south of Gdansk. Members were welcomed by Mr. Mirosław Purzycki, President of the Torun district of the PZW, and Mr. Dionizy Ziemiecki, Chairman of the Board of the PZW. Members of the EP had a chance to visit and get acquainted with a modern centre for hatching and rearing of sturgeon and trout. The centre currently carries out a project called Reinstitution of Atlantic sturgeon and the creation of selective aggregation of selection and development of natural resources in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, a partnership between the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and the Torun district of the PZW, for which part of the funding came from the European Regional Development Fund. The first phase of this project already was successfully implemented, when a batch of small CR\ doc 5/15 PE v01-00
6 sturgeons was released into the Polish waters. After the visit to the hatching and rearing centre, guests were invited to a conference where the President of the PZW Mr. Dionizy Ziemiecki presented the results of studies on the growing cormorant population in Poland and in Europe and discussed the damage that these aquatic birds cause to environment and particularly to fisheries and the aquaculture sector. In the discussion, Ms Ulrike Rodust stressed the need for cooperation of all Member States in developing mechanisms to regulate the cormorant population. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Jarosław Wałęsa thanked the hosts for a very interesting and useful visit, suggested that such meetings should take place more frequently and invited representatives of the Polish fisheries and aquaculture sector to attend a PECH Committee meeting in Brussels. The now nearly extinct Baltic Sea sturgeon population belongs, as it has been recently discovered, to the Atlantic sturgeon subspecies (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) and not to the European variant (Acipenser sturio) as had been previously thought. This species migrated to the Baltic about 1300 years ago and displaced the native species. Sturgeons are anadromous fish which spend most of their life in salty sea waters, while spawning take place in rivers. In addition, sturgeons are known for the phenomena of PE v /15 CR\ doc
7 homing they return for spawning to the place of their birth. These features characteristic to the species promise a rather good prospects for restoring sturgeon population in Poland and the Baltic Sea. Up until the XIX century it was a very important and heavily exploited fish stock in Poland and other countries of the Baltic Sea. However, overexploitation of the fish stock as well as proliferation of hydropower plants on rivers and general deterioration of environmental conditions resulted in a sharp decline in the population of sturgeon in Poland and elsewhere. The last living wild sturgeon in Poland was harvested from the Vistula River in The last known specimen of the Atlantic sturgeon in the Baltic Sea region was caught in Estonia in It was 2.9 m long, weighed 136 kg, and was estimated to be about 50 years old. Work aimed at reinstitution of sturgeon to Polish waters started in It is coordinated by the Inland Fisheries Institute in Olsztyn, in collaboration with the Institute of Water Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Berlin. In late 2009 more than a 100 tagged sturgeons, caught in the Saint John River (Canada), averaging approximately 1,2 m and weighing more than 10 kg, were released to the Pomeranian Bay, where the species once spawned. In 2013 the project expanded to include some several other countries of the Baltic Sea basin. CR\ doc 7/15 PE v01-00
8 Wednesday, 18 May :30-19:45 Aquaculture round table Venue: National Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Gdynia The round-table debate was moderated by Dr. Karnicki of the National Marine Fisheries. Mr. Jarosław Wałęsa introduced the other members of the PECH mission, Mrs. Ulrike Rodust and Mr. Francisco Millán Mon, and welcomed all the participants. Mr. Wałęsa also expressed his regret that Mr. Marek Gróbarczyk, Polish Minister of Maritime Economy and Inland Navigation, who until November 2015 was himself a member of the Parliament s Committee on Fisheries, had cancelled his official meeting with Parliament s mission, and that the Ministry had also refused to send a single speaker or an observer to this round-table. Mr. Wałęsa stressed that the domestic political situation in Poland should not negatively impact on the quality of fora and discussions like this one. Mr. Wałęsa then stressed the historically strong importance of the aquaculture sector in Poland. Even though local aquaculture does not satisfy the internal Polish demand for fish, it PE v /15 CR\ doc
9 is on the increase, particularly trout-rearing. Therefore, due to high demand and long traditions, the future of aquaculture in Poland looks promising. The DG MARE presentation highlighted that, despite growing output of the EU aquaculture sector, the EU remains by large a net importer of both caught and farmed fish and other marine products. However, a key factor for the EU aquaculture sector is its uncompromised focus on high quality of the products and on sustainability, which is highly appreciated by European consumers. Other presentations focused on challenges and opportunities faced by the freshwater fisheries in Poland, on technical features of aquaculture and on the best practices related to fish processing in Polish factories. Mr. Millán Mon also stressed the great potential of aquaculture sector in the EU, drawing on examples from Spain he is familiar with. Answering questions raised by participants, the Commission representative Mrs. Roller stressed that prospects for organic aquaculture remain limited and will make up only a rather small part of aquaculture output, recalling EU rules on recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), which become more and more popular but cannot be certified as organic. Possible solutions could relate to sustainability certificates. Issues of eco-labelling were also raised: participants questioned the Commission s initiative on extensive labelling requirements that, ideally, should help European consumers make an informed choice. Another issue raised were differences in taxation of the aquaculture sector in the different Member states. National rules on taxation of land use, water use, etc. in some cases have a significant impact on prospects for expansion of aquaculture sector. Mrs. Roller stressed that the EU has virtually no powers to influence national legislation on taxation. CR\ doc 9/15 PE v01-00
10 Thursday, 19 May :30-13:00 Visit to the fish processing plant Gadus Sp. z o.o. Venue: Gadus Sp. z o.o., Gdynia Members of the Committee on Fisheries had a meeting with the managers and employees of Gadus Sp. z o.o., a fishing and fish processing company based in Gdynia, and visited their modern fish processing plant. Gadus Sp. z o.o. was established in 1996 by members of Sztormowski family with long traditions in the fishing sector. Head office and main production sites are located in Gdynia. Over the past 20 years a small local company, which started as an intermediary between the local fisherman and processors of fish, grew into a vertically integrated enterprise that has its own fishing fleet, catching pelagic and white fish, fish processing plants and, the latest PE v /15 CR\ doc
11 addition, a chain of Gadus Delikatesy rybnie retail shops selling various fresh and frozen fish, as well as gourmand fish and seafood products (produced in a new workshop recently opened by the company) directly to the consumers. The company s fishing fleet now includes 16 fishing vessels, with annual catch volumes of tonnes of cod, tonnes of flounder, tonnes of sprat and tonnes of herring. The processing plants are equipped with modern production lines, so that wholesale clients can request specific processing of fresh and frozen products according to their preferences. The company also has its own transport and delivers its goods throughout Europe. This way the company is able to control every part of the production chain from the catch to the final consumer.
