TITLE II FISHING OPPORTUNITIES
Article 5
TACs and allocations
The TACs for EU vessels in EU waters or in certain non-EU waters and the allocation of such TACs among Member States, and the conditions functionally linked thereto, where appropriate, are set out in Annex I.
Article 6
TACs to be determined by Member States
The TACs for certain fish stocks shall be determined by the Member State concerned. Those stocks are identified in Annex I.
The TACs to be determined by a Member State shall:
- (a) be consistent with the principles and rules of the Common Fisheries Policy, in particular the principle of sustainable exploitation of the stock; and
- (b) result:
- (i) if analytical assessments are available, in the exploitation of the stock consistent with maximum sustainable yield from 2015 onwards, with as high a probability as possible;
- (ii) if analytical assessments are unavailable or incomplete, in the exploitation of the stock consistent with the precautionary approach to fisheries management.
By 15 March 2013, each Member State concerned shall submit to the Commission the following information:
- (a) the TACs adopted;
- (b) the data collected and assessed by the Member State concerned on which the TACs adopted are based;
- (c) details on how the TACs adopted comply with paragraph 2.
Article 7
Additional allocations for vessels participating in trials on fully documented fisheries
For certain stocks, a Member State may grant an additional allocation to vessels flying its flag and participating in trials on fully documented fisheries. Those stocks are identified in Annex I.
The additional allocation referred to in paragraph 1 shall not exceed the overall limit set out in Annex I as a percentage of the quota allocated to that Member State.
The additional allocation referred to in paragraph 1 shall comply with the following conditions:
- (a) the vessel makes use of close circuit television cameras (CCTV) associated to a system of sensors (jointly referred to as "the CCTV system") to record all on board fishing and processing activities;
- (b) the additional allocation granted to an individual vessel that participates in trials on fully documented fisheries shall not exceed any of the following limits:
- (i) 75 % of the discards of the stock, as estimated by the relevant Member State, produced by the type of vessel to which the individual vessel that has been granted the additional allocation belongs.
- (ii) 30 % of the vessel’s individual allocation prior to participating in the trials.
- (c) all catches by the vessel from the stock subject to the additional allocation, including fish that are under minimum landing size as defined in Annex XII of Regulation (EC) No 850/98, shall be counted against the individual allocation of the vessel, as resulting from any additional allocation granted under this Article.
- (d) once the individual allocation for any stock subject to the additional allocation has been fully utilised by a vessel, the vessel in question must cease all fishing activity in the relevant TAC area.
- (e) in respect of the stocks for which this Article may be used, the Member States may allow transfers of the individual allocation or any part thereof from vessels not participating in the fully documented fisheries trials to vessels participating in those trials provided that it can be demonstrated that discards by the non-participating vessels do not increase.
Notwithstanding point (i) of point (b) of paragraph 3, a Member State may exceptionally grant to a vessel flying its flag an additional allocation exceeding 75 % of the estimated discards of the stock produced by the type of vessel to which the individual vessel that has been granted the additional allocation belongs, provided that:
- (a) the rate of stock discards, as estimated for the relevant type of vessel, is less than 10 %;
- (b) the inclusion of that type of vessel is important to evaluate the potential of the CCTV system for control purposes;
- (c) an overall limit of 75 % of the estimated stock discards produced by all vessels participating in the trials is not exceeded.
To the extent that the recordings obtained in accordance with point (a) of paragraph 3 involve the processing of personal data within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC, that Directive shall apply to the processing of such data.
Where a Member State detects that a vessel participating in trials on fully documented fisheries fails to comply with the conditions set out in paragraph 3, it shall immediately withdraw the additional allocation granted to that vessel and exclude it from participation in those trials for the remainder of the year 2013.
Prior to granting the additional allocation referred to in paragraphs 1 to 6, a Member State shall submit to the Commission the following information:
- (a) the list of vessels flying its flag and participating in trials on fully documented fisheries;
- (b) the specifications of the remote electronic monitoring equipment installed on board those vessels;
- (c) the capacity, type and specification of gears used by those vessels;
- (d) the estimated discards for each type of vessel participating in the trials;
- (e) the amount of catches of the stock subject to the relevant TAC made in 2012 by the vessels participating in the trials.
The Commission may request any Member State that avails itself of this Article to submit its assessment of the discards produced per type of vessel to a scientific advisory body for review, in order to monitor the implementation of the requirement set out in point (i) of point (b) of paragraph 3. In the absence of an assessment confirming such discards, the Member State concerned shall take any appropriate measure to ensure compliance with that requirement and inform the Commission thereof.
Article 8
Conditions for landing catches and by-catches
Fish from stocks for which TACs are established shall be retained on board or landed only if:
- (a) the catches have been taken by vessels flying the flag of a Member State having a quota and that quota is not exhausted; or
- (b) the catches consist of a share in a EU quota which has not been allocated by quota among Member States, and that EU quota has not been exhausted.
Article 9
Fishing effort limits
From 1 February 2013 to 31 January 2014, the fishing effort measures laid down in:
- (a) Annex IIA, shall apply for the management of cod stocks in the Kattegat, ICES divisions VIIa and VIa, and EU waters of ICES division Vb;
- (b) Annex IIB, shall apply for the recovery of hake and Norway lobster in ICES divisions VIIIc and IXa, with the exception of the Gulf of Cádiz;
