COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 57/2011

of 18 January 2011

fixing for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in certain non-EU 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) | According to Article 43(3) of the Treaty, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

According to Article 43(3) of the Treaty, the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, shall adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities.

| (2) | Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1) requires that measures governing access to waters and resources and the sustainable pursuit of fishing activities be established taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice and in particular reports drawn up by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). |
| --- | --- |

(2)

Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (1) requires that measures governing access to waters and resources and the sustainable pursuit of fishing activities be established taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice and in particular reports drawn up by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF).

| (3) | It is incumbent upon the Council to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities by fishery or by group of fisheries, including certain conditions functionally linked thereto, as appropriate. Fishing opportunities should be distributed among Member States in such a way as to assure each Member State relative stability of fishing activities for each stock or fishery and having due regard to the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy established in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. |

It is incumbent upon the Council to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities by fishery or by group of fisheries, including certain conditions functionally linked thereto, as appropriate. Fishing opportunities should be distributed among Member States in such a way as to assure each Member State relative stability of fishing activities for each stock or fishery and having due regard to the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy established in Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.

| (4) | Where a total allowable catch (TAC) is allocated to one Member State only, it is appropriate to empower the Member State concerned in accordance with Article 2(1) of the Treaty to determine the level of such TAC. Provisions should be made to ensure that, when fixing that TAC level, the Member State concerned acts in a manner fully consistent with the principles and rules of the Common Fisheries Policy and ensures that the stock in question is exploited at levels that shall, with as high a probability as possible, produce maximum sustainable yield from 2015 onwards, including by taking the necessary measures to collect relevant data, assess the stock concerned and determine maximum sustainable yield levels of that stock. |

Where a total allowable catch (TAC) is allocated to one Member State only, it is appropriate to empower the Member State concerned in accordance with Article 2(1) of the Treaty to determine the level of such TAC. Provisions should be made to ensure that, when fixing that TAC level, the Member State concerned acts in a manner fully consistent with the principles and rules of the Common Fisheries Policy and ensures that the stock in question is exploited at levels that shall, with as high a probability as possible, produce maximum sustainable yield from 2015 onwards, including by taking the necessary measures to collect relevant data, assess the stock concerned and determine maximum sustainable yield levels of that stock.

| (5) | The TACs should be established on the basis of the available scientific advice, by taking into account the biological and socio-economic aspects whilst ensuring fair treatment between fishing sectors, as well as in the light of the opinions expressed during the consultation of stakeholders, in particular at the meetings with the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture and the Regional Advisory Councils concerned. |

The TACs should be established on the basis of the available scientific advice, by taking into account the biological and socio-economic aspects whilst ensuring fair treatment between fishing sectors, as well as in the light of the opinions expressed during the consultation of stakeholders, in particular at the meetings with the Advisory Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture and the Regional Advisory Councils concerned.

| (6) | For stocks subject to specific multiannual plans, the TACs should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in those plans. Consequently, the TACs for stocks of hake, of Norway lobster, of sole in the Bay of Biscay, the Western Channel and the North Sea, of plaice in the North Sea, of herring to the west of Scotland and of cod in the Kattegat, North Sea, Skagerrak, eastern Channel, to the west of Scotland and in the Irish Sea should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in: Council Regulation (EC) No 811/2004 of 21 April 2004 establishing measures for the recovery of the northern hake stock (2); Council Regulation (EC) No 2166/2005 of 20 December 2005 establishing measures for the recovery of the Southern hake and Norway lobster stocks in the Cantabrian Sea and Western Iberian peninsula (3); Council Regulation (EC) No 388/2006 of 23 February 2006 establishing a multiannual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Bay of Biscay (4); Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2007 of 7 May 2007 establishing a multi-annual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Western Channel (5); Council Regulation (EC) No 676/2007 of 11 June 2007 establishing a multiannual plan for fisheries exploiting stocks of plaice and sole in the North Sea (6); Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock (7); Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks (8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 of 6 April 2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (9). |
| --- | --- |

(6)

For stocks subject to specific multiannual plans, the TACs should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in those plans. Consequently, the TACs for stocks of hake, of Norway lobster, of sole in the Bay of Biscay, the Western Channel and the North Sea, of plaice in the North Sea, of herring to the west of Scotland and of cod in the Kattegat, North Sea, Skagerrak, eastern Channel, to the west of Scotland and in the Irish Sea should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in: Council Regulation (EC) No 811/2004 of 21 April 2004 establishing measures for the recovery of the northern hake stock (2); Council Regulation (EC) No 2166/2005 of 20 December 2005 establishing measures for the recovery of the Southern hake and Norway lobster stocks in the Cantabrian Sea and Western Iberian peninsula (3); Council Regulation (EC) No 388/2006 of 23 February 2006 establishing a multiannual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Bay of Biscay (4); Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2007 of 7 May 2007 establishing a multi-annual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Western Channel (5); Council Regulation (EC) No 676/2007 of 11 June 2007 establishing a multiannual plan for fisheries exploiting stocks of plaice and sole in the North Sea (6); Council Regulation (EC) No 1300/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a multi-annual plan for the stock of herring distributed to the west of Scotland and the fisheries exploiting that stock (7); Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks (8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009 of 6 April 2009 concerning a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean (9).

| (7) | In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (10), the stocks that are subject to the various measures referred to therein should be identified. |

| (9) | Norway lobster is caught in mixed demersal fisheries together with various other species. In a zone to the west of Ireland known as the Porcupine Bank there is an urgent conservation need to reduce catches of Norway lobster as much as possible. It is therefore appropriate to limit the fishing opportunities in this area only to the catching of pelagic species with which Norway lobster is not caught. |

Considering the recent developments in fisheries targeting boarfish in ICES subareas VI, VII and VIII and in order to ensure sustainable management of this stock, it is appropriate to provide for catch limits for this stock.

| (11) | It is necessary to establish the fishing effort ceilings for 2011 in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2166/2005, Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 509/2007, Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007, Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and Articles 5 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009, while taking into account Council Regulation (EC) No 754/2009 of 27 July 2009 excluding certain groups of vessels from the fishing effort regime laid down in Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 (11). |

It is necessary to establish the fishing effort ceilings for 2011 in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 2166/2005, Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 509/2007, Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007, Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and Articles 5 and 9 of Regulation (EC) No 302/2009, while taking into account Council Regulation (EC) No 754/2009 of 27 July 2009 excluding certain groups of vessels from the fishing effort regime laid down in Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 (11).

| (12) | A group of French vessels is excluded from the application of the fishing effort regime laid down in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 by virtue of Regulation (EC) 754/2009. On the basis of information provided by France in 2010, the exclusion of that group of vessels from the effort regime no longer constitutes a reduction of the administrative burden. Therefore one of the conditions for exclusion is no longer fulfilled. It is therefore appropriate to re-include that group of French vessels in the abovementioned fishing effort regime. Since the fishing management period established by Annex IIA to Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 (12) ceases to apply on 31 January 2011, this re-inclusion should apply starting from 1 February 2011. |

| (15) | In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements or protocols on fisheries relations with Norway (13), the Faroe Islands (14) and Greenland (15), the Union has held consultations on fishing rights with those partners. The consultations with the Faroe Islands have not been finalised and the arrangements for 2011 with that partner are expected to be concluded in early 2011. In order to avoid interruption of Union fishing activities whilst allowing for the necessary flexibility for the conclusion of those arrangements in early 2011, it is appropriate for the Union to establish the fishing opportunities for stocks subject to the agreement with the Faroe Islands on a provisional basis. |

| (16) | The Union is a contracting party to several fisheries organisations and participates in other organisations as a cooperating non-party. Moreover, by virtue of the 2003 Act of Accession, fisheries agreements previously concluded by the Republic of Poland, such as the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Pollock resources in the central Bering Sea, are as from the date of accession of Poland to the European Union managed by the Union. Those fisheries organisations have recommended the introduction for 2011 of a number of measures, including fishing opportunities for EU vessels. Those fishing opportunities should be implemented in the law of the Union. |

| (17) | At its Annual Meeting in 2010, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) failed to reach consensus on the adoption of conservation measures for yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna and skipjack tuna. Nevertheless, the majority of Contracting Parties, including the Union, considered that the fishing opportunities for those three stocks should be regulated in order to ensure their sustainable management. It is therefore appropriate for the Union to adopt measures to that effect. |

| (18) | At its Annual Meeting in 2010, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) adopted tables indicating the under-utilisation and over-utilisation of the fishing opportunities of the ICCAT Contracting Parties. In that context, ICCAT adopted a decision observing that, during the year 2009, the Union had under-exploited its quota for Northern and Southern swordfish, bigeye tuna and Northern albacore. In order to respect the adjustments to the Union quotas established by the ICCAT, it is necessary for the distribution of the fishing opportunities arising from this under-utilisation to be carried out on the basis of the respective contribution of each Member State towards the under-utilisation without modifying the distribution key established in this Regulation concerning the annual allocation of TACs. At the same meeting the recovery plan for bluefin tuna was amended. ICCAT further adopted recommendations on the conservation of bigeye thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks and oceanic whitetip sharks. In order to contribute to the conservation of fish stocks it is necessary to implement those measures in the law of the Union. |

| (20) | During the Third International Meeting, held in May 2007, for the creation of a Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO) in the high seas of the South Pacific (SPRFMO), the participants adopted interim measures, including fishing opportunities, in order to regulate pelagic fishing activities as well as bottom fisheries in that area until the establishment of such RFMO. Those interim measures have been revised at the 8th International Consultations for the Establishment of the SPRFMO in November 2009 and are expected to be revised again at the forthcoming 2nd Preparatory Conference for the SPRFMO Commission in January 2011. According to the agreement reached by the participants, those interim measures are voluntary and are not legally binding under international law. It is nevertheless advisable, in the light of the related provisions of the United Nations Fish Stock Agreement, to implement those measures in the law of the Union. |

It is therefore necessary for the provisions that implement such measures in the law of the Union to apply retroactively. In particular, since certain fishing opportunities in the CCAMLR Convention Area are laid down for a period of time starting from 1 December 2010, it is appropriate that the relevant provisions of this Regulation apply from that date. Such retroactive application would be without prejudice to the principle of legitimate expectations as CCAMLR members are forbidden to fish in the Convention Area without authorisation. |

ANNEX IIA

FISHING EFFORT FOR VESSELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF CERTAIN STOCKS IN ICES DIVISIONS IIIa, VIa, VIIa, VIId, ICES SUBAREA IV AND EU WATERS OF ICES DIVISIONS IIa AND Vb

1.   Scope

1.1.   This Annex shall apply to EU vessels carrying on board or deploying any of the gears referred to in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and present in any of the geographical areas referred to in point 2 of that Annex.

1.2.   This Annex shall not apply to vessels of less than 10 metres’ length overall. These vessels shall not be required to carry special fishing permits issued in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1627/94. Member States concerned shall assess the fishing effort of those vessels by effort groups to which they belong, using appropriate sampling methods. During 2011, the Commission shall seek scientific advice for evaluating the effort deployment of those vessels, with a view to their future inclusion into the effort regime.

2.   Regulated gears and geographical areas

For the purposes of this Annex, the regulated gears referred to in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and geographical areas referred to in point 2 of that Annex shall apply.

3.   Maximum allowable fishing effort

3.1.   The maximum allowable effort referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007 for the 2011 management period, from 1 February 2011 to 31 January 2012, for each of the effort groups of each Member State is set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

3.2.   The maximum levels of annual fishing effort set in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1954/2003 (1) shall not affect the maximum allowable fishing effort set in this Annex.

4.   Member States’ obligations

4.1.   Member States shall manage the maximum allowable effort in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007, Article 4 and Articles 13 to 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and Articles 26 to 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.

4.2.   Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 shall apply to vessels falling under the scope of this Annex. The geographical area referred to in that Article shall be understood, for the purpose of cod management, as each of the geographical areas referred to in point 2 of this Annex and, for the purpose of sole and plaice management, as ICES subarea IV.

5.   Allocation of fishing effort

5.1.   If a Member State deems so appropriate in order to reinforce the sustainable implementation of this effort regime, it shall not permit fishing with a regulated gear in any of the geographical areas to which this Annex applies by any of its vessels which has no record of such fishing activity, unless it ensures that equivalent capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from fishing in the regulated area.

5.2.   A Member State may establish management periods for allocating all or parts of the maximum allowable effort to individual vessels or groups of vessels. In such case, the number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed at the discretion of the Member State concerned. During any such management periods, the Member State may reallocate effort between individual vessels or groups of vessels.

5.3.   If a Member State authorises vessels to be present within an area by hours, it shall continue measuring the consumption of days in accordance with the conditions referred to in point 4 of this Annex. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of effort within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period.

6.   Communication of relevant data

6.1.   Without prejudice to Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, Member States shall transmit to the Commission, on its request, the data on fishing effort deployed by their fishing vessels in the previous month and the months before, using the reporting format set out in Appendix 2.

6.2.   The data shall be sent to the appropriate electronic mailbox address, which the Commission shall communicate to the Member States. When a data transfer to the Fisheries Data Exchange System (or any future data system decided by the Commission) will become operational, the Member State shall transmit the data to the system before the fifteenth of each month, referring to the effort deployed up to the end of the previous month. The Commission shall notify Member States the date at which the system shall be used for transmission at least two months in advance of the first due date. The first fishing effort declaration that will be sent to the system shall include the effort deployed since 1 February 2011. Member States shall transmit to the Commission, on its request, the data on fishing effort deployed by their fishing vessels during the month of January 2011.

NUMBER OF DAYS PRESENT WITHIN THE AREA ALLOCATED TO EU VESSELS

5.   Maximum number of days

| 5.1. | During the 2011 management period, the maximum number of days at sea for which a Member State may authorise a vessel flying its flag to be present within the area having carried on board any regulated gear is shown in Table I. |
| --- | --- |

5.1.

| 5.2. | For the purposes of fixing the maximum number of days at sea an EU vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within the area, the following special conditions shall apply in accordance with Table I:






  (a) | the total landings of hake in the year 2008 or 2009 made by the vessel shall represent less than 5 tonnes or less than 3 % according to the landings in live weight consigned in the fishing logbook; and |
| --- | --- | --- |

5.2.

(a)

the total landings of hake in the year 2008 or 2009 made by the vessel shall represent less than 5 tonnes or less than 3 % according to the landings in live weight consigned in the fishing logbook; and

| (b) | the total landings of Norway lobster in the year 2008 or 2009 made by the vessel shall represent less than 2,5 tonnes according to the landings in live weight consigned in the fishing logbook. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the total landings of Norway lobster in the year 2008 or 2009 made by the vessel shall represent less than 2,5 tonnes according to the landings in live weight consigned in the fishing logbook.

| 5.3. | The special conditions referred to in point 5.2. might be transferred from one vessel to one or more other vessels which replace that vessel in the fleet, provided that the replacing vessel uses similar gear and does not have in any year of its operation a record of landings of hake and Norway lobster higher than the weights specified in point 5.2. |
| --- | --- |

5.3.

| 5.4. | A Member State may manage its fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. By that system it may authorise any vessel concerned for any regulated gear and special conditions as set out in Table I to be present within the area for a maximum number of days which is different from that set out in that Table, provided that the overall amount of kilowatt days corresponding to the regulated gear and to the special conditions referred to in point 5.2. is respected.
  This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of that Member State and qualified for the regulated gear and, where applicable, the special conditions. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if this point were not applied. For as long as the number of days is unlimited according to Table I, the relevant number of days the vessel would benefit from is 360. |
| --- | --- |

5.4.

This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of that Member State and qualified for the regulated gear and, where applicable, the special conditions. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if this point were not applied. For as long as the number of days is unlimited according to Table I, the relevant number of days the vessel would benefit from is 360.

| 5.5. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 5.4. shall submit a request to the Commission with reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping and special conditions as laid down in Table I the details of the calculation based on:






  — | list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power, |
| --- | --- | --- |

5.5.

—

list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power,

| — | track records of 2008 and 2009 for such vessels reflecting the catch composition defined in special conditions referred to in point 5.2.(a) or (b), if these vessels are qualified for such special conditions, |
| --- | --- |

—

track records of 2008 and 2009 for such vessels reflecting the catch composition defined in special conditions referred to in point 5.2.(a) or (b), if these vessels are qualified for such special conditions,

| — | the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea which each vessel would benefit from in application of point 5.4. |
| --- | --- |

—

the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea which each vessel would benefit from in application of point 5.4.

On the basis of that description, the Commission may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in point 5.4.

6.   Management periods

| 6.1. | A Member State may divide the days present within the area given in Table I into management periods of durations of one or more calendar months. |
| --- | --- |

6.1.

| 6.2. | The number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed by the Member State concerned.
  Where a Member State authorises vessels to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 4.1. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period. |
| --- | --- |

6.2.

Where a Member State authorises vessels to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 4.1. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period.

7.   Allocation of additional days for permanent cessation of fishing activities

| 7.1. | An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated to Member States by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place between 1 February 2010 and 31 January 2011 either in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (1), Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 (2) or resulting from other circumstances duly motivated by Member States. Any vessels for which it can be demonstrated that they have been definitively withdrawn from the area may also be considered.
  The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the gears in question shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using those gears during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.
  This point shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 3 or 5.3. of this Annex, or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea. |
| --- | --- |

7.1.

The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the gears in question shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using those gears during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.

This point shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 3 or 5.3. of this Annex, or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.

| 7.2. | Member States wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 7.1. shall submit a request to the Commission with reports in electronic format containing, for the gear grouping and special conditions as laid down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:






  — | lists of withdrawn vessels with their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power, |
| --- | --- | --- |

7.2.

—

lists of withdrawn vessels with their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power,

| — | the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea according to the grouping of fishing gears and, if necessary, special conditions. |
| --- | --- |

—

the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea according to the grouping of fishing gears and, if necessary, special conditions.

| 7.3. | On the basis of such a request the Commission may amend the number of days defined in point 5.1. for that Member State in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. |
| --- | --- |

7.3.

| 7.4. | During the 2011 management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional numbers of days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the regulated gears. Additional days stemming from a withdrawn vessel that benefited from a special condition referred to in point 5.2.(a) or (b) may not be allocated to a vessel remaining active that does not benefit from a special condition. |

NUMBER OF DAYS PRESENT WITHIN THE AREA ALLOCATED TO EU VESSELS

6.   Maximum number of days

| 6.1. | During the 2011 management period, the maximum number of days at sea for which a Member State may authorise a vessel flying its flag to be present within the area having carried on board and used any one of the fishing gears referred to in point 2 is shown in Table I. |
| --- | --- |

6.1.

| 6.2. | During the 2011 management period, a Member State may manage its fishing effort allocation according to a kilowatt days system. By that system it may authorise any vessel concerned to be present within the area for a maximum number of days which is different from that set out in Table I for any one of the groupings of fishing gears laid down in that Table, provided that the overall amount of kilowatt days corresponding to such a grouping is respected.
  For a specific grouping of fishing gears, the overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of the Member State concerned and qualified for that specific grouping. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if this point were not applied. |
| --- | --- |

6.2.

For a specific grouping of fishing gears, the overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of the Member State concerned and qualified for that specific grouping. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if this point were not applied.

| 6.3. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.2. shall submit a request to the Commission with reports in electronic format containing for each grouping of fishing gears the details of the calculation based on:






  — | list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power, |
| --- | --- | --- |

6.3.

—

list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their EU fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power,

| — | the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea which each vessel would benefit from in application of point 6.2. |
| --- | --- |

—

the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea which each vessel would benefit from in application of point 6.2.

On the basis of that description, the Commission may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.2.

7.   Management periods

| 7.1. | A Member State may divide the days present within the area given in Table I into management periods of durations of one or more calendar months. |
| --- | --- |

7.1.

| 7.2. | The number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed at the discretion of the Member State concerned.
  In case that a Member State authorises vessels to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 3. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area that do not coincide with the end of a 24-hours period. |
| --- | --- |

7.2.

In case that a Member State authorises vessels to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 3. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area that do not coincide with the end of a 24-hours period.

8.   Allocation of additional days for permanent cessations of fishing activities

| 8.1. | An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within the geographical area when carrying on board any of the gears referred to in point 2 may be allocated to Member States by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place since 1 January 2004 either in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 or Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 or Regulation (EC) No 744/2008 (1), or resulting from other circumstances duly motivated by Member States.
  The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the gear in question shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.
  This point shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 4.2. or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea. |
| --- | --- |

8.1.

The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the gear in question shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.

This point shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 4.2. or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.

| 8.3. | On the basis of such a request the Commission may amend the number of days defined in point 6.2. for that Member State in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. |
| --- | --- |

8.3.

| 8.4. | During the 2011 management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional numbers of days at sea to all or parts of the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the relevant grouping of fishing gears. |
| --- | --- |

8.4.

| 8.5. | A Member State may not re-allocate in the 2011 management period any additional number of days resulting from a permanent cessation of activity previously allocated by the Commission, unless the Commission has taken a decision that reassesses those additional numbers of days on the basis of the current gear groupings and limitations in days at sea. Upon the Member State's request to reassess the number of days, the Member State is provisionally authorised to reallocate 50 % of the additional number of days, until the Commission takes its decision. |
| --- | --- |

8.5.

9.   Allocation of additional days for enhanced scientific observer coverage

| 9.1. | Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying onboard any of the groupings of fishing gear referred to in point 2 may be allocated between 1 February 2011 and 31 January 2012 to Member States by the Commission on the basis of an enhanced programme of scientific observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry. Such a programme shall focus in particular on levels of discarding and on catch composition and go beyond the requirements on data collection, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 and Regulation (EC) No 665/2008 (2) for national programmes.
  Observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel and any crew member. |
| --- | --- |

9.1.

Observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel and any crew member.

| 9.2. | Member States wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 9.1. shall submit a description of their enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the Commission for approval. |
| --- | --- |

9.2.

| 9.3. | On the basis of this description, and after consultation with STECF, the Commission may amend the number of days defined in point 6.1. for that Member State and for the vessels, the area and gear concerned by the enhanced programme of observers in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 30(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. |
| --- | --- |

9.3.

| 9.4. | If an enhanced scientific observer coverage programme submitted by a Member State has been approved by the Commission in the past and the Member State wishes to continue its application without changes, the Member State shall inform the Commission of the continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which the programme applies.

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 Guyanese 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.
