THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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 Union 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(1), (2), (3) and (5) thereof,

| (3) | According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State. |

According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State.

| (4) | Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 (9) has established deductions from fishing quotas for certain stocks in 2016 on account of overfishing in the previous years. |

(4)

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 (9) has established deductions from fishing quotas for certain stocks in 2016 on account of overfishing in the previous years.

| (5) | However, for certain Member States, no deductions could be operated by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 from quotas allocated for the overfished stocks because such quotas were not available for those Member States in the year 2016. |

(5)

However, for certain Member States, no deductions could be operated by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 from quotas allocated for the overfished stocks because such quotas were not available for those Member States in the year 2016.

| (6) | Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that, if it is not possible to operate deductions on the overfished stock in the year following the overfishing because the Member State concerned has no available quota, deductions may be operated on other stocks in the same geographical area or with the same commercial value. According to Commission Communication 2012/C 72/07 (10) such deductions should be preferably operated from quotas allocated for stocks fished by the same fleet as the fleet that overfished the quota, taking into account the need to avoid discards in mixed fisheries. |

Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that, if it is not possible to operate deductions on the overfished stock in the year following the overfishing because the Member State concerned has no available quota, deductions may be operated on other stocks in the same geographical area or with the same commercial value. According to Commission Communication 2012/C 72/07 (10) such deductions should be preferably operated from quotas allocated for stocks fished by the same fleet as the fleet that overfished the quota, taking into account the need to avoid discards in mixed fisheries.

| (7) | In certain cases, exchanges of fishing opportunities concluded in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) enabled partial deductions from the same stocks in the framework of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226. The remaining deductions should be operated on quotas for other stocks pursuant to Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. |

In certain cases, exchanges of fishing opportunities concluded in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11) enabled partial deductions from the same stocks in the framework of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226. The remaining deductions should be operated on quotas for other stocks pursuant to Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.

| (8) | The Member States concerned have been consulted with regard to the proposed deductions from quotas allocated for stocks other than those which have been overfished. |

(8)

The Member States concerned have been consulted with regard to the proposed deductions from quotas allocated for stocks other than those which have been overfished.

| (9) | In 2015, Spain has overfished its quota for skates and rays in Union waters of ICES Subareas VIII and IX (SRX/89-C.). By letter of 30 September 2016, Spain requested to spread the deduction due over 2 years. In view of the information provided and considering that a significant loss of quota would produce excessive discards of the species concerned, in accordance with point 3, letter (b) of the Communication 2012/C 72/07, this request can be accepted. |

| (10) | As regards sandeel in geographical area of ICES divisions IIa, IIIa and subdivision IV, given Denmark has overfished its total allowable catches in Union waters of management area 1 as defined in Annex IID of Regulation (EU) 2015/104 in 2015, it is required to operate deductions. In 2016, minimal catches have been allowed for sandeel in these waters in order to monitor the abundance of sandeel. However, with the said deductions it is impossible to maintain the monitoring system (12) advised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to manage sandeel. Therefore, deductions for the quotas overfished by Denmark in 2015 in this area should be operated from sandeel management area 3. |

Therefore, deductions for the quotas overfished by Denmark in 2015 in this area should be operated from sandeel management area 3.

| (11) | Moreover, certain deductions required by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 appear to be larger than the adapted quota available in the year 2016 and, as a consequence, cannot be entirely operated in that year. According to Communication 2012/C 72/07, the remaining amounts should be deducted from the adapted quotas available in subsequent years until the full overfished amount is paid back. |
