(4)  Letter ‘A’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Letter ‘C’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan.

(5)  Remaining quantities from previous year(s).

(6)  Additional multiplying factor not applicable because the overfishing does not exceed 10 % of the permitted landings.
