COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2021/400

of 2 March 2021

establishing a fisheries closure for haddock in area 7a for vessels flying the flag of Belgium

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 (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EU) 2020/123 (2) lays down quotas for 2020.

(2) According to the information received by the Commission, catches of the stock of haddock in area 7a by vessels flying the flag of or registered in Belgium have exhausted the quota allocated for 2020.

(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit certain fishing activities for that stock.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Quota exhaustion The fishing quota allocated to Belgium for the stock of haddock in area 7a for 2020 referred to in the Annex shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.

Article 2 Prohibitions 1. Fishing for the stock referred to in Article 1 by vessels flying the flag of or registered in Belgium shall be prohibited from the date set out in the Annex. In particular it shall be prohibited to search for fish, shoot, set or haul a fishing gear for the purpose of fishing that stock. 2. Transshipping, retaining on board, processing on board, transferring, caging, fattening and landing of fish and fishery products from that stock caught by those vessels shall remain authorised for catches taken prior to that date. 3. Unintended catches of species from that stock by those vessels shall be brought and retained on board the fishing vessels, recorded, landed and counted against quotas in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

Article 3 Entry into force This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 2 March 2021. For the Commission, On behalf of the President, Virginijus SINKEVIČIUS Member of the Commission

(1) OJ L 343, 22.12.2009, p. 1.

(2) Council Regulation (EU) 2020/123 of 27 January 2020 fixing for 2020 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters (OJ L 25, 30.1.2020, p. 1).

(3) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p. 22).
(16)

The Commission notes at the outset that the complainant provided import statistics for the investigation period, for the the third quarter of 2020, and for the period after the initation, i.e. until October 2020. The Jindal Group also provided data for the same time periods as the complainant, ending in the month of October 2020. The analysis of the Commission is based on the most recent data ending in January 2021, as specified in Table 1 above. As explained in recital (12), the relevant post-IP monthly average imports for the period October 2020 until January 2021 were compared to the monthly average imports for the period October 2019 until January 2020, as well as with the monthly average import volumes in the full IP. The period between the IP and the initiation of the investigation, that is the third quarter of 2020, was not considered in this assessment. The relevant data considered by the Commission, cumulated for the countries concerned, showed a further substantial rise in imports after initiation both when compared to the investigation period and to the corresponding period during the IP. The claim of the Jindal Group that no further substantial rise from both India and Indonesia after the initation took place was found to be incorrect in light of the more recent data available to the Commission. The claim of the Jindal Group that imports from Indonesia were concentrated in the first month of each quarter did not change the conclusion that there was a further substantial increase of imports from the countries concerned on the basis of the relevant import data. This concentration of imports is likely to be linked to the mechanics of the free-of-safeguard-duty Tariff-Rate Quota (‘TRQ’) under the safeguard measures on certain steel products (‘safeguard measures’) (3), where the opening of new free-of-safeguard-duty TRQ batches at the beginning of each quarter generally leads to large import volumes concentrated in the early stages of the quarters. The claims by the Jindal Group were therefore dismissed.
(11)

The combination of low regulated termination rates for calls originated from third country-numbers and terminated to Union-numbers and high and non-cost-efficient termination rates for calls to third country-numbers would likely result in higher termination rates for calls originating from Union-numbers and terminating to third country-numbers, which would have a negative impact on retail tariffs in the Union and on the cost structure of Union operators. The different degrees of exposure of Union operators to calls terminated by such third-country operators charging high and non-cost-efficient termination rates would lead to imbalances in the cost structures of Union operators due to factors out of the control of the operators themselves. This would likely prevent the emergence of pan-European retail offerings that include calls to certain third country-numbers, due to higher termination rates for calls to those countries, which could have a negative impact on consumers and especially businesses in the Union. Furthermore, it would distort competition as the asymmetrical impact of the exposure to high termination rates for calls terminated to third country-numbers would result in different competitive conditions faced by different Union operators, which would also ultimately distort investment ability and incentives across the Union (both investment in operators and by operators). All these effects would clearly run counter to the objectives of this Regulation, which are to promote the integration of the single market by removing distortions between operators due to termination rates charged well above cost.
