COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/1239

of 29 July 2021

amending Regulations (EU) 2019/1919, (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 as regards certain fishing opportunities for 2021 in Union and non-Union waters

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | Council Regulation (EU) 2019/1919 (1) allocates the fishing opportunities under the Protocol setting out the fishing opportunities and financial contribution provided for in the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (2) (the ‘Protocol’). The Protocol was extended until 15 November 2020 by the Agreement in the form of an Exchange of Letters (3) on an extension, for a maximum period of one year, to the Protocol. The signing of that Agreement was authorised by Council Decision (EU) 2019/1918 (4), which authorised its provisional application. |

(2)

On 23 October 2020, the Council adopted Decision (EU) 2020/1704 (5), which provides for a second extension, for a maximum of one year, to the Protocol.

| (3) | Article 1 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1919 allocates fishing opportunities to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in category 6 – Pelagic freezer trawlers. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

Article 1 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1919 allocates fishing opportunities to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in category 6 – Pelagic freezer trawlers.

| (4) | Pursuant to the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (6), the United Kingdom is no longer a Member State of the Union since 1 February 2020 and the transition period provided for in that Agreement ended on 31 December 2020. Therefore, the fishing opportunities allocated to the United Kingdom (UK) should be reallocated to the Member States as from 1 January 2021 and the UK should no longer hold a quarterly licence as from 1 January 2021. |

Regulation (EU) 2019/1919 should therefore be amended accordingly.

| (7) | Council Regulation (EU) 2021/91 (7) establishes, for the years 2021 and 2022, the fishing opportunities for Union fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. Council Regulation (EU) 2021/92 (8) establishes for 2021 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters. For stocks shared with the UK, those Regulations set provisional total allowable catches (TACs) applicable until 31 July 2021 for vessels fishing in Union waters, international waters and waters of third countries. |

Council Regulation (EU) 2021/91 (7) establishes, for the years 2021 and 2022, the fishing opportunities for Union fishing vessels for certain deep-sea fish stocks. Council Regulation (EU) 2021/92 (8) establishes for 2021 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters. For stocks shared with the UK, those Regulations set provisional total allowable catches (TACs) applicable until 31 July 2021 for vessels fishing in Union waters, international waters and waters of third countries.

| (8) | In accordance with Article 498(2), (4) and (6) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and the UK (9) (TCA), the Union has held bilateral consultations with the UK and established the level of fishing opportunities for the stocks listed in Annex 35 and in tables A and B of Annex 36 of the TCA, as well as associated conditions for the year 2021, and the level of fishing opportunities for certain deep-sea TACs, as well as associated conditions for years 2021 and 2022. Those consultations were conducted between 20 January 2021 and 2 June 2021 on the basis of the Council Decision of 5 March 2021 (10). The outcome of the consultations was documented in a written record, signed by the heads of delegations of both the Union and the UK and endorsed by the Council on 11 June 2021. It is therefore necessary to replace the provisional TACs that were established in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 by the fishing opportunities agreed with the UK, together with the new associated measures. |

In accordance with Article 498(2), (4) and (6) of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and the UK (9) (TCA), the Union has held bilateral consultations with the UK and established the level of fishing opportunities for the stocks listed in Annex 35 and in tables A and B of Annex 36 of the TCA, as well as associated conditions for the year 2021, and the level of fishing opportunities for certain deep-sea TACs, as well as associated conditions for years 2021 and 2022. Those consultations were conducted between 20 January 2021 and 2 June 2021 on the basis of the Council Decision of 5 March 2021 (10). The outcome of the consultations was documented in a written record, signed by the heads of delegations of both the Union and the UK and endorsed by the Council on 11 June 2021. It is therefore necessary to replace the provisional TACs that were established in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 by the fishing opportunities agreed with the UK, together with the new associated measures.

| (9) | The conclusion of those consultations introduces agreed and ensured fishing opportunities for the Union and the UK for 2021, as well as for certain deep-sea stocks for 2021 and 2022, under the provisions in the TCA on equal access to each other’s waters. |

The conclusion of those consultations introduces agreed and ensured fishing opportunities for the Union and the UK for 2021, as well as for certain deep-sea stocks for 2021 and 2022, under the provisions in the TCA on equal access to each other’s waters.

| (10) | It is now necessary to implement the outcomes of the consultations between the Union and the UK into the Union legal order by replacing the provisional TACs that were established in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 by the fishing opportunities respecting the TAC levels agreed with the UK. |

It is now necessary to implement the outcomes of the consultations between the Union and the UK into the Union legal order by replacing the provisional TACs that were established in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 by the fishing opportunities respecting the TAC levels agreed with the UK.

| (11) | Under the TCA, the Union and the UK share the objective of exploiting shared stocks at rates intended to maintain and progressively restore populations of harvested species above biomass levels that can produce the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). In accordance with the multiannual plans provided for in Regulations (EU) No 1380/2013 (11), (EU) 2019/472 (12) and (EU) 2018/973 (13) of the European Parliament and of the Council, the target fishing mortality in line with the ranges of MSY (FMSY) defined in Regulations (EU) 2019/472 and (EU) 2018/973 was to be achieved as soon as possible, and on a progressive and incremental basis by 2020 for the target stocks listed in those Regulations and is to be maintained thereafter within the ranges of FMSY, in accordance with those Regulations. |

| (12) | There are certain stocks for which the International Council for Exploration of the Sea (ICES), while assessing them against MSY, has issued scientific advice for no catches. If TACs for those stocks were established at the level indicated in such scientific advice, the obligation to land all catches both in the Union and UK waters, including by-catches from those stocks, in mixed fisheries, would lead to the phenomenon of ‘choke species’. In order to balance the need for continuation of those mixed fisheries in view of the potentially severe socio-economic implications on complete interruption of those fisheries with the need to achieve a good biological status for those stocks, and taking into account the difficulty of fishing all stocks in a mixed fishery at MSY at the same time, the Union and the UK agreed that it is appropriate to establish specific TACs for by-catches for those stocks. The level of those TACs should be such that mortality for those stocks is decreased and that it provides incentives for improvements in selectivity and avoidance. The levels of the fishing opportunities for those stocks should be established in line with the written record in order both to ensure a level playing field for Union operators as well as to provide for the significant recovery of the biomass of those stocks at the same time. |

| (13) | While the Union and the UK did not reach an agreement on aligned functionally linked technical measures, both agreed that such measures are necessary, and the UK will adopt such measures in order to contribute to the recovery of the stocks concerned. In the current absence of an agreement, it is necessary to continue, in Union waters, with the application of existing functionally linked technical measures established in Articles 15, 16 and 17 of Regulation (EU) 2021/92, which allow setting the TACs of target species at levels proposed in this Regulation without jeopardising the state of the unavoidable by-catch stocks in Union waters. |

| (14) | Given that the biomass of the stocks of COD/5BE6A, WHG/56-14, WHG/07A and PLE/7HJK is below the biomass limit reference point (Blim) and that only by-catch and scientific fisheries are permitted, the Union and the UK agreed in the written record that inter-annual flexibility is not to be applied, including under Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in respect of these stocks for transfers to 2021 so that catches in 2021 will not exceed the TAC established for those stocks. Therefore, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands have undertaken not to apply Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in respect of those stocks for transfers to 2021. |

| (15) | Given that the biomass of the stock of PRA/03A is below MSY Btrigger, the Union and Norway agreed that inter-annual flexibility is not to be applied, including under Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and under Articles 3 and 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (14) in respect of this stock for transfers to 2021 so that catches in 2021 will not exceed the TAC established for this stock. Therefore, Denmark and Sweden have undertaken not to apply Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 in respect of this stock for transfers to 2021. |

| (17) | European seabass in the Celtic Sea, Channel, Irish Sea and southern North Sea (ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7a, and 7d to 7h) continues below MSY Btrigger and is just above Blim. While fishing mortality has decreased, ICES indications on the fishing pressure continue to be of concern. The importance of agreed measures to ensure aligned conditions and opportunities for the UK and Union fleets is key for seabass as a shared stock, notably on a monthly cap for commercial fisheries with trawl and seine, and on by-catches in shore-based commercial netting, keeping the existing limitation on recreational fishing in place. The Union and the UK also agreed to prioritise the improvement of the ICES assessment tool for seabass to allow for forecast calculations on the basis of MSY models. |

| (19) | Pursuant to Article 498(8) of the TCA, the Union and the UK agreed to set up a mechanism for voluntary in-year transfers of fishing opportunities to take place each year and that the details for such a mechanism are to be defined by the Specialised Committee on Fisheries. In order to allow Member States to transfer or exchange fishing opportunities with the UK pending the adoption by the Specialised Committee on Fisheries of those details, it is appropriate to establish the procedure to carry out such transfers or exchanges. |

| (21) | Regulation (EU) 2021/92, as initially adopted, set at zero the TAC for anchovy in ICES subareas 9 and 10 and in Union waters of CECAF 34.1.1 applicable from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022, awaiting new scientific advice. In the third amendment to the 2021 fishing opportunities, a provisional TAC was established until 30 September 2021 to allow anchovy fishery to continue. ICES issued the scientific advice on 18 June 2021. The TAC for the period starting on 1 July 2021 should therefore be amended in line with the latest scientific advice from ICES. |

| (23) | As regards the fishing opportunities around the area of Svalbard, the Treaty of 9 February 1920 relating to Spitsbergen (Svalbard) (‘the 1920 Treaty of Paris’) grants equal and non-discriminatory access to resources for all Parties to that Treaty, including with respect to fishing. The view of the Union concerning that access has been set out on numerous occasions, most recently in the notes verbales to Norway No 02/21 dated 26 February 2021 and No 08/21 dated 28 June 2021. In order to ensure that the exploitation of resources within the area of Svalbard is consistent with such non-discriminatory management rules as may be set out by Norway, which enjoys sovereignty and jurisdiction in the area within the limits of that Treaty, the Council fixed, for ICES subarea 1 and division 2b, the number of vessels that are authorised to conduct fishery for snow crab and quotas for cod. The allocation of such fishing opportunities among Member States is applicable until 31 December 2021. In the note verbale to Norway No 02/21 dated 26 February 2021, the Union reserved its rights to take all appropriate remedial countermeasures to safeguard legitimate rights and interests of the Union. It is also appropriate to recall that in the Union, primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with applicable law lies with the flag Member States. |

(2)  To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the vessel owner applying for the fishing authorisation and a processing undertaking situated in the Department of French Guiana, and that it includes an obligation to land at least 75 % of all snapper catches from the vessel concerned in that department so that they may be processed in that undertaking’s plant. Such a contract must be endorsed by the French authorities, which shall ensure that it is consistent both with the actual capacity of the contracting processing undertaking and with the objectives for the development of the Guianese economy. A copy of the duly endorsed contract shall be appended to the fishing authorisation application. Where such an endorsement is refused, the French authorities shall give notification of this refusal and state their reasons for it to the party concerned and to the Commission.
