1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (
1),
and in particular Article 8(4) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 66/98 of 18 December
1997 laying down certain conservation and control measures applicable
to fishing activities in the Antarctic and repealing Regulation (EC) No
2113/96 (2), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles
121 and 122 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,Whereas:
(1) Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 requires the Council to
adopt, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in
particular, of the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and
Economic Committee for Fisheries, the measures necessary to
ensure the rational and responsible exploitation of resources on a
sustainable basis.
(2) Under the terms of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92,
it is incumbent upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4 of
that Regulation, to establish the total allowable catches (TAC) by
fishery or group of fisheries. Fishing opportunities should be
allocated to Member States and third countries in accordance with
Article 8(4)(ii) and (vi) of that Regulation.
(3) In order to ensure effective management of these TACs and
quotas, the specific conditions under which fishing operations
occur should be established.
(4) It is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of
fishery management at Community level, so that Member States
can ensure the management of the vessels flying their flag.
(5) In accordance with the provisions laid down in 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 (
3), it is necessary to indicate which stocks are subject to
the various measures fixed therein.
(6) In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements
or protocols on fisheries relations, the Community has held
consultations on fishing rights with the Kingdom of Norway (4),

remain identical to those applicable immediately prior to the entry
into force of the 1994 Accession Treaty.
(8) Pursuant to Article 124 of the 1994 Act of Accession, fisheries
agreements concluded by the Kingdom of Sweden and the
Republic of Finland with third countries are managed by the
Community. In accordance with these agreements, the Community
has held consultations with the Republic of Poland and with the
Russian Federation.
(9) The Community is a Contracting Party to several regional
fisheries organisations. These fisheries organisations have recom-
mended the setting of catch limitations and other conservation
rules for certain species. These recommendations should therefore
be implemented by the Community.
(10) For reasons of stock conservation, the Inter-American Tropical
Tuna Commission (IATTC) has agreed to set catch limitations for
certain tuna-like stocks in the Pacific Ocean. It is appropriate that
the Community adheres to these limitations in order to collaborate
in the conservation of these stocks.
(11) The execution of fishing opportunities should be in accordance
with the Community legislation on the matter, and in particular
with Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993

Sound (8) and Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 of 30 March
1998 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical
measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms (9).
(12) The duration of the application of certain provisions is limited in
order to enable the Commission to adopt provisions in conformity
with Article 28c of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93.
(13) In order to contribute to the conservation of fish stocks, certain
complementary measures on control and technical conditions of
fishing should be implemented in 2001.
(14) In order to contribute to the conservation of certain species of fish
living in deep waters, TAC and quota management should be
implemented for these species.

Article 17
Technical measures
1.Mesh sizes
The use of trawl net having in any section thereof net meshes of
dimensions less than 130 mm shall be prohibited for direct fishing of the
species referred to in Annex IX. This mesh size shall be reduced to
60 mm for direct fishing of short-finned squid.
Vessels fishing for shrimp ( Pandalus borealis ) shall use nets with a
minimum mesh size of 40 mm.
2.Attachments to nets
The use of any means or device other than those described in this
paragraph which obstructs the meshes of a net or which diminishes their
size shall be prohibited.
Canvas, netting or any other material may be attached to the underside of
the cod end in order to reduce or prevent damage.
Devices may be attached to the upper side of the cod end provided that
they do not obstruct the meshes of the cod end. The use of topside
chafers shall be limited to those mentioned in Annex X.
Vessels fishing for shrimp ( Pandalus borealis ) shall use sorting grids or
grates with a maximum spacing between bars of 22 mm.
3.By-catches
By-catches of the species listed in Annex Ie for which no quotas have
been fixed by the Community for a part of the NAFO Regulatory Area
and taken in that part when fishing directly for any species may not
exceed for each species on board 2 500 kg or 10 % by weight of all fish
on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the Regulatory
Area where directed fishing of certain species is banned, by-catches of
each of the species listed in Annex Ie may not exceed 1 250 kg or 5 %
respectively.
Whenever the total amounts of species subject to by-catch limits in any
haul exceed the limits laid down above, whichever is applicable, vessels
shall immediately change fishing area and move a minimum of five
nautical miles away from the previous haul. Whenever the total amounts
of species subject to by-catch limits in any future haul exceed the said
limits, vessels shall again immediately change fishing area and move a
minimum of five nautical miles away from the previous hauls.
For vessels fishing for shrimp ( Pandalus borealis ), in the event that total
by-catches of all species listed in Annex Ie in any haul exceed 5 % by
weight, vessels shall immediately change fishing area (minimum five
nautical miles) in order to seek to avoid further by-catches of this
species.
The percentages above are calculated as the percentage by weight, for
each species, of the total catch excluding the catch of species subject to
by-catch limits and are based on the catch taken by stock area.
Catches of shrimp shall not be used in the calculation of by-catch level of
groundfish species.
4.Minimum size of fish
Fish from the NAFO Regulatory Area which do not have the size
required as set out in Annex XI may not be processed, retained on board,
transhipped, landed, transported, stored, sold, displayed or offered for
sale, but shall be returned immediately to the sea. Where the quantity of
caught fish not having the required size exceeds in certain fishing waters
10 % of the total quantity, the vessel must move away to a distance of at
least five nautical miles before continuing fishing. Any processed fish of!B2000R2848 — EN — 01.01.2001 — 000.001 — 12
a species for which a minimum fish size is set out in Annex XI that is
below the relevant size set out in Annex XII, shall be deemed to originate
from fish that is below the minimum fish size.
Article 18
Control measures
1. In addition to complying with Articles 6, 8, 11 and 12 of Regulation
(EEC) No 2847/93, masters of vessels shall enter in the logbook the
information listed in Annex XIII.
In complying with Article 15 of the said Regulation, Member States shall
also inform the Commission of catches of species not subject to quota.
2. When fishing directly for one or more of the species listed in Annex
IX, vessels may not carry nets the mesh size of which is smaller than that
laid down in Article 17(1). However, vessels fishing in the course of the
same voyage in areas other than the NAFO Regulatory Area may keep
such nets on board provided these nets are securely lashed and stowed
and are not available for immediate use, that is to say:
(a) nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or
trawling cables and ropes; and
(b) nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of
the superstructure.
3. The masters of vessels flying the flag of a Member State and
registered in the Community shall, in respect of catches of the species
listed in Annex Ie, keep:
(a) a logbook stating, by species and by processed product, the
aggregate output; or
(b) a storage plan of products processed, indicating, by species, where
they are located in the hold.
The masters shall provide the necessary assistance to enable the
quantities declared in the logbook and the processed products stored
on board to be verified.
4. The masters of vessels flying the flag of a Member State and
registered in the Community, fishing for redfish in zone 3M, shall notify
every second Monday to the competent authorities of the Member State
whose flag the vessel is flying or in which the vessel is registered the
quantities of redfish caught in zone 3M in the two-week period ending at
12 midnight on the previous Sunday.
5. Vessels flying the flag of a Member State and registered in the
Community shall not engage in transhipment operations in the NAFO
Regulatory Area unless they have received prior authorisation to do so
from the competent authorities of the Member States whose flag the
vessel is flying or in which the vessel is registered.
Article 19
Redfish fishery
Member States shall report to the Commission every second Tuesday
before 12 noon for the fortnight ending at 12 midnight on the previous
Sunday the quantities of redfish caught in division 3M of the NAFO
Regulatory Area by vessels flying the flag of a Member State and
registered in the Community.!B2000R2848 — EN — 01.01.2001 — 000.001 — 13
Article 20
Statistical and scientific data
1. Member States shall provide, for vessels flying their flag and
registered in the Community and fishing for yellowtail flounder in
division 3LNO of the NAFO Regulatory Area:
(a) nominal catch and discard statistics, broken down by unit areas no
larger than 1° latitude and 1° longitude, based upon the relevant
entries in the logbook as provided for by Article 18(1), summarised
on a monthly basis;
(b) length sampling for both nominal catches and discards, with a
sampling intensity on the same scale as adopted in (a) and
summarised on a monthly basis.
2. Member States shall supply, for vessels flying their flag and
registered in the Community and conducting redfish and flatfish
fisheries on the Flemish Cap:
(a) in addition to the normal reports, statistics on discards of cod, based
upon the relevant entries in the logbook as provided for by Article
18(1), summarised on a monthly basis;
(b) length samples of cod for the two fisheries separately, with depth
information accompanying each sample, summarised on a monthly
basis.
3. Length samples shall be taken from all parts of the respective catch
of each species concerned in such a manner that at least one statistically
significant sample is taken from the first haul taken each day. The size of
a fish shall be measured from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail
fin.
Length samples taken as described in the first subparagraph shall be
deemed to be representative of all catches of the species concerned.
AREA OF CCAMLR

ANNEX IV
SPECIAL MEASURES CONCERNING NORTH SEA HERRING
1. Member States shall adopt special measures concerning the capture,
sorting or landing of herring taken from the North Sea or from theSkagerrak and Kattegat with a view to ensuring the observance of catch
limitations, in particular those set in Annex II. These measures shall
include, in particular:
— special control and inspection programmes;
— fishing effort plans, including lists of authorised vessels and, where
deemed necessary on the basis of quota exhaustion beyond the level of
70 %, limitations on the activity of authorised vessels,
— control of transhipment and of practices which incur discarding,
— where possible, temporary prohibition of fishing in areas where high
by-catch rates of herring, in particular juveniles, are known to occur.
2. In case of landings of herring unsorted from the remainder of the catch,
Member States shall ensure that adequate sampling programmes are inplace in order to monitor effectively all landings of by-catches of herring.
It shall be prohibited to land catches of fish containing unsorted herring in
harbours where these sampling programmes are not in place.
3. Commission inspectors shall, in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation
(EEC) No 2847/93 and whenever the Commission deems it necessary for
the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, carry out independent inspections to
verify the implementation by the competent authorities of the samplingprogrammes and of the detailed measures mentioned in paragraph 1.
4. The Commission shall prohibit landings of herring if it is deemed that
implementation of the measures mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 does not
achieve a strict control of fishing mortality of herring in all fisheries.
All landings of herring caught in ICES areas IIIa, IV and VIId by vessels which
carry on board only towed nets of mesh sizes equal to or greater than 32
millimetres, while taking these catches in these areas, will be counted against a
relevant quota as defined in Annex I to this Regulation.
6. All landings of herring caught in ICES areas IIIa, IV and VIId by vessels
which carry on board towed nets of mesh size less than 32 millimetres,
while taking these catches in these areas, will be counted against a relevant
quota as defined in Annex II to this Regulation. Herring landed by vesselsoperating within these conditions shall not be offered for sale for humanconsumption.!

(EC) No 88/98, and in order to guarantee the selectivity of the trawls,
Danish seines and similar nets with special mesh openings as referred to in
Annex IV to the same Regulation, the two models of exit windowsdescribed in Appendix I to this Annex shall be authorised in 2001.
2. Summer ban for Baltic cod
Fishing for cod shall be prohibited in the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the
Øresund from 1 July to 20 August inclusive.
3. Closure of Bornholm Deep

turtles as follows:
— Whenever a sea turtle is sighted in the net, a speedboat should be
stationed close to the point where the net is lifted out of the water.
— If a turtle is entangled in the net, net roll should stop as soon as the
turtle comes out of the water and should not start again until the turtle
has been disentangled and released.
— If a turtle is brought aboard the vessel, it should, if necessary, be
resuscitated before being returned to the water.
