Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 105(4) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | In 2013 the Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 (2). This Regulation established deductions from mackerel quota in ICES division 8c, subareas 9 and 10; Union waters of CECAF 34.1.1 and from anchovy quota in ICES subarea 8. |

(1)

In 2013 the Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 (2). This Regulation established deductions from mackerel quota in ICES division 8c, subareas 9 and 10; Union waters of CECAF 34.1.1 and from anchovy quota in ICES subarea 8.

| (2) | Spain did not fish 739 tonnes of mackerel quota and 843 tonnes of anchovy from the respective quotas in 2017, thus exercising lower fishing pressure on those stocks compared to the maximum allowed in accordance with the fishing opportunities for 2017. Spain has requested to use those unfished quantities for deductions for 2017 and to decrease the deductions for 2018 accordingly. |
