COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 43/2014

of 20 January 2014

fixing for 2014 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Union waters and, to Union vessels, in certain 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) | Article 43(3) of the Treaty provides that the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, is to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

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

| (2) | Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) requires that conservation measures be adopted taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice, including, where relevant, reports drawn up by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). |

(2)

Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) requires that conservation measures be adopted taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice, including, where relevant, 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, including certain conditions functionally linked thereto, as appropriate. Fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in such a way as to ensure relative stability of fishing activities of each Member State for each fish stock or fishery and having due regard to the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy established in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. |

Fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in such a way as to ensure relative stability of fishing activities of each Member State for each fish stock or fishery and having due regard to the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy established in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.

| (4) | The total allowable catch (TACs) should be established on the basis of available scientific advice, taking into account 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 of the Regional Advisory Councils concerned. |

(4)

The total allowable catch (TACs) should be established on the basis of available scientific advice, taking into account 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 of the Regional Advisory Councils concerned.

| (5) | 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 Southern hake and Norway lobster, of sole in the Western Channel, of plaice and sole in the North Sea, of herring to the west of Scotland, of cod in the Kattegat, to the west of Scotland, the Irish Sea, the North Sea, Skagerrak and the Eastern Channel and of bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in Council Regulations (EC) No 2166/2005 (2), (EC) No 509/2007 (3), (EC) No 676/2007 (4), (EC) No 1300/2008 (5), (EC) No 1342/2008 (6) (the "Cod Plan") and (EC) No 302/2009 (7).
  With regard, however, to the stocks of northern hake (Council Regulation (EC) No 811/2004 (8) and sole in the Bay of Biscay (Council Regulation (EC) No 388/2006 (9), the minimum targets of the relevant recovery and management plans have been reached and, therefore, it is appropriate to follow scientific advice provided in order to achieve or maintain the TACs at maximum sustainable yield levels, as the case may be. |

With regard, however, to the stocks of northern hake (Council Regulation (EC) No 811/2004 (8) and sole in the Bay of Biscay (Council Regulation (EC) No 388/2006 (9), the minimum targets of the relevant recovery and management plans have been reached and, therefore, it is appropriate to follow scientific advice provided in order to achieve or maintain the TACs at maximum sustainable yield levels, as the case may be.

| (6) | For stocks for which there is no sufficient or reliable data in order to provide size estimates, management measures and TAC levels should follow the precautionary approach to fisheries management as defined in Article 4(1)(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, while taking into account stock-specific factors, including, in particular, available information on stock trends and mixed fisheries considerations. |

In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (10), the stocks that are subject to the various measures referred to therein should be identified.

| (8) | Where a TAC relating to a stock is allocated to one Member State only, it is appropriate to empower that Member State 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. |

| (11) | For certain species, such as certain species of sharks, even a limited fishing activity could result in a serious risk to their conservation. Fishing opportunities for such species should therefore be fully restricted through a general prohibition on fishing those species. |

For certain species, such as certain species of sharks, even a limited fishing activity could result in a serious risk to their conservation. Fishing opportunities for such species should therefore be fully restricted through a general prohibition on fishing those species.

| (12) | The use of fishing opportunities available to Union vessels set out in this Regulation is subject to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (12), and in particular to Articles 33 and 34 of that Regulation, concerning the recording of catches and fishing effort and the notification of data on the exhaustion of fishing opportunities. It is therefore necessary to specify the codes to be used by Member States when sending data to the Commission relating to landings of stocks subject to this Regulation. |

The use of fishing opportunities available to Union vessels set out in this Regulation is subject to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (12), and in particular to Articles 33 and 34 of that Regulation, concerning the recording of catches and fishing effort and the notification of data on the exhaustion of fishing opportunities. It is therefore necessary to specify the codes to be used by Member States when sending data to the Commission relating to landings of stocks subject to this Regulation.

| (13) | For certain TACs Member States should be allowed to grant additional allocations for vessels participating in trials on fully documented fisheries. The aim of those trials is to test a catch-quota system, i.e. a system where all catches should be landed and counted against quotas in order to avoid discards and the waste of otherwise usable fish resources they entail. Uncontrolled discards of fish are a threat to the long term sustainability of fish as a public good and thus to the Common Fisheries Policy objectives. By contrast, catch-quota systems inherently present the fishers with an incentive to optimise the catch selectivity of their operations. In order to achieve a rational management of discards, a fully documented fishery should cover every operation at sea, rather than what is landed at port. The conditions for Member States to grant such additional allocations should therefore include an obligation to ensure the use of close circuit television cameras (CCTV) associated to a system of sensors (jointly referred to as "CCTV system"). This should enable the recording, in detail, of all retained and discarded parts of catches. A system based on human observers operating in real time on board would be less efficient, more costly, and less reliable. Consequently, the use of CCTV systems is, at this time, a prerequisite for the achievement of discard reduction schemes such as fully documented fisheries. In the use of such system, the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (13) should be complied with. |

| (14) | In order to ensure that trials of fully documented fisheries can effectively evaluate the potential of catch-quota systems to control the absolute fishing mortality of the stocks concerned, it is necessary for all fish caught in those trials, including those under minimum landing size, to be counted against the total allocation assigned to the participating vessel, and for fishing operations to cease when that total allocation has been fully utilised by that vessel. It is also appropriate to allow transfers of allocations between vessels participating in the fully documented fisheries trials and non-participating vessels provided that it can be demonstrated that discards by non-participating vessels do not increase. |

| (15) | In November 2013, STECF assessed positively the rebuilding management plan proposed by the Pelagic Regional Advisory Council (PELRAC) for the stock of herring in ICES VIaS, VIIb and VIIc. The distribution of this herring stock overlaps with that of its northern neighbouring stock in a mixing zone located between 56° N and 57° 30′ N within ICES VIa. In order to ensure the correct assessment of these two stocks as regards their conservation state and to control the fishing mortality inflicted on each of them, it is necessary to exclude all catches taken in the mixing zone. |

| (16) | It is appropriate, following advice from the ICES, to maintain and revise a system to manage sandeel in Union waters of ICES divisions IIa and IIIa and ICES subarea IV. Given that the ICES scientific advice is expected to become available only in February 2014, it is appropriate to set the TAC and quotas provisionally at zero until such advice is released. |

| (17) | Since there is no scientific evidence that the TAC areas for pollack correspond to distinct biological stocks and the distribution of this species is continuous from the North of the British Isles to the South of the Iberian Peninsula, it is appropriate, in order to guarantee full use of fishing opportunities, to allow for the implementation of a flexible arrangement between some of these TAC areas. In the same vein, it is appropriate to allow a higher degree of flexibility arrangements between some management areas in respect of certain stocks whose distribution extends over several management areas and where the same biological stocks are concerned. |

| (18) | In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements or protocols on fisheries relations with Norway (14), the Faroe Islands (15) and Iceland (16), the Union has held consultations on fishing rights with those partners. The consultations with Norway and the Faroe Islands on arrangements for 2014 have not been finalised. In order to avoid the interruption of Union fishing activities, whilst allowing for the necessary flexibility for the conclusion of those arrangements early in 2014, it is appropriate to establish the fishing opportunities for stocks subject to those arrangements on a provisional basis. It has not been possible to conclude consultations with Iceland on fisheries arrangements for 2014. In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreement and protocol on fisheries relations with Greenland (17), the Joint Committee has established the concrete level of fishing opportunities available for the Union in Greenland waters in 2014. |

| (19) | At its Annual Meeting in 2013, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) adopted a one year extension of the existing TAC and quotas for bluefin tuna, and confirmed TACs and quotas for North-Atlantic swordfish, Southern-Atlantic swordfish and North-Atlantic Albacore at the current level for the 2014-2016 period. As a result, the Union quota for these stocks remains the same as in 2013. Although the TAC of Southern-Atlantic albacore was also maintained at the current level for the 2014-2016 period, individual quotas of Contracting Parties, including the Union, were slightly reduced in order to grant a quota to another Contracting Party. All these measures should be implemented in the law of the Union. |

| (26) | The 10th Annual Meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) in 2013 modified its measures regarding fishing opportunities by setting a total amount of days that can be fished in the high seas and by adapting the closure concerning aggregation devices (FAD) fishing. The revision of the measure of FAD fishing requires that the Union as a Contracting Party to WCPFC decides on one of two available options, either to confirm the current period of FAD fishing closure or to opt for a reduction of FAD sets. Until such a decision is taken, the currently applicable closure adopted by the WCFPC should continue to be implemented in the law of the Union. |

| (28) | At its 35th Annual Meeting in 2013, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) adopted a number of fishing opportunities for 2014 of certain stocks in Subareas 1-4 of the NAFO Convention Area. In that context, NAFO adopted a procedure for increasing the TAC for white hake in NAFO Subdivision 3NO fixed for 2014, if certain conditions related to the situation of this stock are met. A Contracting Party to NAFO may notify to the Executive Secretary of NAFO that higher than normal catches per unit of effort have been observed for the stock of white hake in NAFO Subdivision 3NO. If the in-year 2014 TAC increase is confirmed by a positive vote within NAFO, it should be implemented into the law of the Union and the quotas of the Member States concerned should be increased. |

| (29) | Certain international measures which create or restrict fishing opportunities for the Union are adopted by the relevant Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) at the end of the year and become applicable before the entry into force of this Regulation. It is therefore necessary for the provisions that implement such measures in the law of the Union to apply retroactively. In particular, since the fishing season in CCAMLR Convention Area runs from 1 December to 30 November, and thus certain fishing opportunities or prohibitions in the CCAMLR Convention Area are laid down for a period of time starting from 1 December 2013, it is appropriate that the relevant provisions of this Regulation apply from that date. Such retroactive application will be without prejudice to the principle of legitimate expectations as CCAMLR members are forbidden to fish in the CCAMLR Convention Area without authorisation. |

ANNEX IIA

FISHING EFFORT FOR VESSELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF CERTAIN COD, PLAICE AND SOLE STOCKS IN ICES DIVISIONS IIIA, VIA, VIIA, VIID, ICES SUBAREA IV AND UNION WATERS OF ICES DIVISIONS IIA AND VB

1.   Scope

| 1.1. | This Annex shall apply to Union 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 specified in point 2 of this Annex. |
| --- | --- |

1.1.

| 1.2. | This Annex shall not apply to vessels of less than 10 metres' length overall. Those vessels shall not be required to carry fishing authorisations issued in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Member States concerned shall assess the fishing effort of those vessels by effort groups to which they belong, using appropriate sampling methods. During 2014, 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. |
| --- | --- |

1.2.

2.   Regulated gears and geographical areas

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

3.   Authorisations

If a Member State deems so appropriate in order to reinforce the sustainable implementation of this effort regime, it may introduce a prohibition to fish with a regulated gear in any of the geographical areas to which this Annex applies by any of vessels flying its flag which has no record of such fishing activity, unless it ensures that equivalent capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from fishing in that area.

4.   Maximum allowable fishing effort

| 4.1. | 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 2014 management period, i.e. from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015, for each of the effort groups of each Member State is set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex. |
| --- | --- |

4.1.

| 4.2. | 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. |
| --- | --- |

4.2.

5.   Management

| 5.1. | 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. |
| --- | --- |

5.1.

| 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 concerned may reallocate effort between individual vessels or groups of vessels. |
| --- | --- |

5.2.

| 5.3. | If a Member State authorises vessels flying its flag 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 5.1. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State concerned 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. |
| --- | --- |

5.3.

6.   Fishing effort report

7.   Kilowatt day system

| 7.1. | A Member State may manage its fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. Through that system it may authorise any vessel concerned by 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 is respected. |
| --- | --- |

7.1.

| 7.2. | 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 point 7.1. 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. |
| --- | --- |

7.2.

| 7.3. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 7.1. shall submit a request to the Commission, with reports in electronic format containing, for the regulated gear and special conditions as laid down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:






  (a) | list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power; |
| --- | --- | --- |

7.3.

(a)

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

| (b) | track record of 2011 and 2012 for such vessels reflecting the catch composition defined in the special condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b), if these vessels are qualified for such special conditions; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

track record of 2011 and 2012 for such vessels reflecting the catch composition defined in the special condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b), if these vessels are qualified for such special conditions;

| (c) | 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 7.1. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

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 7.1.

| 7.4. | On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the conditions referred to in point 7 are complied with and, where applicable, may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in point 7.1. |
| --- | --- |

7.4.

8.   Allocation of additional days for permanent cessation 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 area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place between 1 February 2013 and 31 January 2014 either in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 (1) or Regulation (EC) No 744/2008 (2). Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly motivated request from the Member State concerned. Such written request shall identify the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never return to fishing activities. |
| --- | --- |

8.1.

| 8.2. | The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the regulated gear 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 that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day. |
| --- | --- |

8.2.

| 8.3. | Points 8.1. and 8.2. shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 3 or 6.4., or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea. |
| --- | --- |

8.3.

| 8.4. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1. shall submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June 2014, 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:






  (a) | lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power; |
| --- | --- | --- |

8.4.

(a)

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

| (b) | 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. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

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.

| 8.5. | On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate that Member State a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5.1. for that Member State. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2). |
| --- | --- |

8.5.

| 8.6. | During the 2014 management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional 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 6.1.(a) or (b) may not be allocated to a vessel remaining active that does not benefit from a special condition. |
| --- | --- |

8.6.

| 8.7. | When the Commission allocates additional days at sea due to a permanent cessation of fishing activities during the 2014 management period, the maximum number of days per Member State and gear shown in Table I shall be adjusted accordingly for the 2014 management period. |
| --- | --- |

8.7.

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 on board any regulated gear may be allocated to a Member State 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 shall go beyond the requirements on data collection, as laid down in Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (3) and its implementing rules for national programmes. |
| --- | --- |

9.1.

| 9.2. | Scientific observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the vessel and any crew member. |
| --- | --- |

9.2.

| 9.3. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 9.1. shall submit a description of its enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the Commission for approval. |
| --- | --- |

9.3.

| 9.4. | On the basis of that description, and after consultation with STECF, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate the Member State concerned a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5.1. for that Member State and for the vessels, the area and gear concerned by the enhanced programme of scientific observers. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2). |
| --- | --- |

9.4.

| 9.5. | 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 concerned wishes to continue its application without changes, it shall inform the Commission of the continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which the programme applies. |
| --- | --- |

9.5.

| --- | --- |

11.2.

| 11.3. | Where a Member State authorises vessels flying its flag to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 10. 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. |
| --- | --- |

11.3.

CHAPTER V

Exchanges of fishing effort allocations

12.   Transfer of days between fishing vessels flying the flag of a member state

| 12.1. | A Member State may permit any fishing vessel flying its flag to transfer days present within the area for which it has been authorised to another vessel flying its flag within the area, provided that the product of the days received by a vessel multiplied by its engine power in kilowatts (kilowatt days) is equal to or less than the product of the days transferred by the donor vessel and the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel. The engine power in kilowatts of the vessels shall be that recorded for each vessel in the Union fishing fleet register. |
| --- | --- |

12.1.

| 12.2. | The total number of days present within the area transferred in accordance with point 12.1., multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of the donor vessel, shall not be higher than the donor vessel's average annual days track record in the area as verified by the fishing logbook in the years 2011 and 2012 multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel. |
| --- | --- |

12.2.

| 12.3. | The transfer of days as described in point 12.1. shall be permitted between vessels operating with any regulated gear and during the same management period. |

6.   Kilowatt day system

| 6.1. | During the 2014 management period, a Member State may manage its fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. Through that system it may authorise any vessel concerned by any regulated gear 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 is respected. |
| --- | --- |

6.1.

| 6.2. | 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. 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 point 6.1. were not applied. |
| --- | --- |

6.2.

| 6.3. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1. shall submit a request to the Commission, with reports in electronic format containing, for the regulated gear as laid down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:






  (a) | list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power; |
| --- | --- | --- |

6.3.

(a)

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

| (b) | 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 6.1. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

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 6.1.

| 6.4. | On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the conditions referred to in point 6 are complied with and, where applicable, may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1. |
| --- | --- |

6.4.

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 a Member State 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 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 or Regulation (EC) No 744/2008. Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly motivated request from the Member State concerned. Such written request shall identify the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never return to fishing activities. |
| --- | --- |

7.1.

| 7.2. | The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using a given gear grouping shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear grouping 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 that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day. |
| --- | --- |

7.2.

| 7.3. | Points 7.1.and 7.2. 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. |
| --- | --- |

7.3.

| 7.4. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 7.1. shall submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June 2014, with reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping as laid down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:






  (a) | lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power; |
| --- | --- | --- |

7.4.

(a)

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

| --- | --- |

(b)

the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea according to the grouping of fishing gears.

| 7.5. | On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate that Member State a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5 for that Member State. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2). |
| --- | --- |

7.5.

| 7.6. | During the 2014 management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the regulated gears. |
| --- | --- |

7.6.

| 7.7. | Any additional number of days resulting from a permanent cessation of fishing activities allocated by the Commission for the 2013 management period shall be included in the maximum number of days per Member State shown in Table I and shall be allocated to the gear groupings in Table I. These additional days shall be subject to the adjustment in days at sea ceilings resulting from this Regulation for the 2014 management period. |
| --- | --- |

7.7.

| 7.8. | By way of derogation from points 7.1 to 7.5, the Commission may exceptionally grant a Member State an allocation of additional days during the 2014 management period on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place from 1 February 2004 to 31 January 2013, provided that they have not been already included in any request for additional days during that period. |
| --- | --- |

7.8.

8.   Allocation of additional days for enhanced scientific observer coverage

| 8.1. | Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated between 1 February 2014 and 31 January 2015 to a Member State 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 its implementing rules for national programmes. |
| --- | --- |

8.1.

| 8.2. | Scientific observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel and any crew member. |
| --- | --- |

8.2.

| 8.3. | A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1. shall submit a description of its enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the Commission for approval. |
| --- | --- |

8.3.

| 8.4. | On the basis of that description, and after consultation with STECF, the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate the Member State concerned a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5 for that Member State and for the vessels, the area and gear concerned by the enhanced programme of scientific observers. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2). |
| --- | --- |

8.4.

| 8.5. | 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 concerned wishes to continue its application without changes, it shall inform the Commission of the continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which the programme applies. |
| --- | --- |

8.5.

(1)  To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the ship 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.
