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

Whereas:

(1)Firstly, following the publication of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 of 30 July 2012 operating deductions                              from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2012 on account of overfishing in the previous years(2), the Portuguese fisheries authorities discovered and notified a mistake in the declarations of catches landed by Spain in                              their country.

(2)Having been consulted, the Spanish fisheries authorities confirmed and corrected the reporting mistake.

(3)After correction, it appears that the Portuguese quotas of the 2011 stocks for cod in NAFO area 3M (COD/N3M.), Greenland halibut                              in NAFO area 3LMNO (GHL/N3LMNO), redfish in NAFO area 3LN (RED/N3LN.), and in EU and international waters of V; international                              waters of XII and XIV (RED/51214D) were not overfished.

(4)The deductions to these 2012 Portuguese fishing quotas as set out in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012                              should therefore no longer be applicable.

(5)Secondly, Council Regulation (EU) No 1225/2010 of 13 December 2010 fixing for 2011 and 2012 the fishing opportunities for                              EU vessels for fish stocks of certain deep-sea fish species(3) stipulates, for the stock of red seabream in EU and international waters of IX (SBR/09-), that a maximum of 8 % may be fished                              in EU and international waters of VI, VII and VIII (SBR/*678-).

(6)In the framework of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2011 of 20 July 2011 adding to the 2011 fishing quotas                              certain quantities withheld in the year 2010 pursuant to Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96(4), the 2011 Spanish quota of red seabream in EU and international waters of IX (SBR/09-) has been increased from 614 to 684                              tonnes.

(7)Another 30 more tonnes of that stock have been added to the 2011 Spanish quota following an exchange concluded with Portugal                              on 2 August 2011.

(8)Considering the 2011 Spanish final adapted quota for red seabream in EU and international waters of IX (SBR/09-) amounting                              to 714 tonnes, a maximum of 57,12 tonnes, corresponding to 8 %, of red seabream may have been fished by Spain in EU and international                              waters of VI, VII and VIII (SBR/*678-). It is this amount that should have been taken into account to fix the Spanish final                              quota of SBR/*678- to be deducted according to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012.

(9)The deduction applied to the Spanish quota of SBR/*678- should be reduced accordingly.

(10)Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 should therefore be amended accordingly and the amendments should have retroactive                              effect to the date of entry into force of that Regulation,
