(4) At the end of that fishing season France reported catches of anchovy in the Bay of Biscay for a total amount of 4 198 tonnes.

(5) France has requested pursuant to Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 that part of its anchovy’s quota for the 2011-2012 fishing season be withheld and transferred to the following fishing season. Within the limits indicated by that Regulation, the quantities withheld should be added to the quota established by Council Regulation (EU) No 694/2012 [^ntr5-L_2012290EN.01000801-E0005] for the 2012-2013 fishing season.
