Member States shall transmit to the Commission the fishing
plan for their vessels fishing for Greenland halibut
in the
NAFO Regulatory Area not later than 20 January 2001 or,
thereafter, at least 30 days before the intended commencement
of such activity. The fishing plan shall identify, inter alia, the
vessel or vessels which will engage in this fishery. The fishing
plan shall represent the total fishing effort to be deployed with
respect to this fishery in relation to the extent of the fishing
opportunities available to the Member State making the
notification.

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.

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.

(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

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,
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 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.

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 the Skagerrak 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:

(cid:151) special control and inspection programmes;

(cid:151) 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,

(cid:151) control of transhipment and of practices which incur discarding,

(cid:151) 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 in place 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 sampling programmes 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 vessels operating within these conditions shall not be
offered for sale for human consumption.

ANNEX V

TRANSITIONAL TECHNICAL MEASURES

1. Exit windows in the Baltic Sea

Notwithstanding the conditions set out in Annex V to Council Regulation (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 windows described 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 (cid:216)resund from 1 July to 20 August inclusive.

3. Closure of Bornholm Deep

All fishing shall be prohibited from 15 May to 31 August 2001 within the area bounded by the following
coordinates:

(cid:151) latitude 55(cid:176) 30¡ N, longitude 15(cid:176) 30¡ E,

(cid:151) latitude 55(cid:176) 30¡ N, longitude 16(cid:176) 10¡ E,

(cid:151) latitude 55(cid:176) 15¡ N, longitude 16(cid:176) 10¡ E,

(cid:151) latitude 55(cid:176) 15¡ N, longitude 15(cid:176) 30¡ E.

4. Sole and fixed gears

Notwithstanding the conditions laid down in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 850/98, a minimum mesh size of 90
mm shall apply to sole (Solea solea) in ICES Divisions IVc and VIId during 2001.

5. Purse seines in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (Regulatory Area of

the Inter-American tropical Tuna

Commission)

As of January 1 2001, purse seiners fishing for tuna in the Regulatory area of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna
Commission shall retain on board all the bigeye, skipjack and yellowfin tuna caught, except fish considered unfit
for human consumption for reasons other than size, in order to provide a disincentive to the capture of these
small fish. A single exception shall be the final set of a trip, when there may be insufficient well space remaining
to accommodate all the tuna caught in that set.

Purse seine vessels shall promptly release unharmed, to the extent practicable, all sea turtles, sharks, billfishes, rays,
mahi-mahi and other non-target species. Fishermen are encouraged to develop and use techniques and equipment
to facilitate the rapid and safe release of any such animals.

To require specific measures for application to encircled or entangled sea turtles as follows:

(cid:151) 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.

(cid:151) 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.

(cid:151) If a turtle is brought aboard the vessel, it should, if necessary, be resuscitated before being returned to the

water.

6. Technical conservation measures in the Skagerrak and in the Kattegat

Notwithstanding the conditions set out in Annex IV to Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98, the following rules
shall apply in 2001:

(a) a mesh size of 35 mm shall apply when fishing for prawns (Pandalus borealis);

(b) a mesh size of 30 mm shall be used when fishing for argentine (Argentina spp.);

30.12.2000

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

L 334/73

(c) when fishing for whiting with a mesh size of 70 to 89 mm, the by-catch shall not exceed 30 % for the
following species: cod, haddock, hake, plaice, witch, lemon sole, turbot, brill, flounder, megrim, dab, saithe and
lobster;

(d) when fishing for Norway lobster with a mesh size of 70 to 89 mm, the by-catches should not exceed 60 % for
the following species: hake, plaice, witch, lemon sole, turbot, brill, flounder, megrim, dab, saithe and lobster;

(e) when fishing for prawns (Pandalus borealis) with a mesh size of 35 to 69 mm, the by-catches should not exceed
50 % for the following species: cod, haddock, hake, plaice, witch, lemon sole, turbot, brill, flounder, mackerel,
megrim, whiting, dab, saithe, Norway lobster and lobster;

(f)

in all fisheries other than those covered in (c), (d) and (e) above, using a mesh size below 70 mm, the
by-catches should not exceed 10 % for the following species: cod, haddock, hake, plaice, witch, lemon sole,

Appendix I to Annex V

Exit windows (model 1)

Two exit windows with plastic coated, fully opened diamond meshes shall be attached to the codend of trawls and
Danish seines in the cod fishery. The mesh opening shall be no less than 105 mm. The exit windows shall be attached
with a separate piece of netting (between the ordinary diamond meshes and the meshes of the exit window). The mesh
size of the separate netting shall be identical to the bar length of the exit window times the square root of two.

The exit window shall be attached on both sides of the codend, and the distance between the rear end of the codend
and the window shall be 40 to 50 cm. The length of the window shall be 80 % of the total length of the codend and
the height of the window shall be 50 cm (see Figure 1). The window shall be mounted in a way that gives an opening
between the upper and lower seams of the window of 15 to 20 cm.

Exit windows (model 2)

Identification of the window

The windows shall be rectangular sections of netting in the codend. There shall be two windows in the codend.

Size of the window

Each window shall have a minimum width of 45 cm along its entire length. Each window shall have a minimum
length of 3,5 m measured along its sides (figure 2) and the length of the window shall not be less than 80 % of the
total length of the codend.

Netting of the window

The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be square meshes, i.e. all four sides of
the window netting will be cut by all bars. The netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and
perpendicular to the length of the codend. The window width shall be eight open square meshes.

Location of the window

The codend shall be divided into upper and lower panels by selvedges running down the port and starboard sides. The
two windows shall be located in the lower panel, immediately adjacent to and below the selvedges. The windows shall
terminate between 40 to 50 cm from the codline (see figure 2).

The forward end of the window shall be joined to eight meshes’ width of the normal codend netting. One side shall
join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent to the selvedge and the other side shall be joined to the normal
codend lower panel netting following a straight line of meshes, all knots cut.

Mesh size in the whole codend

All parts of the codend shall conform to a minimum mesh size of 105 mm.

is at least equal in width to the width of the codend (such width being measured at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the codend at the point of attachment);

(c)

is not more than 10 meshes long.

(ii)

the aggregate length of all the pieces of netting so attached does not exceed two-thirds of the length of the codend.

Large mesh (modified Polish-type) top-side chafer

A rectangular piece of netting made of the same twine material as the codend, or of a single, thick, knotless twine
material, attached to the rear portion of the upper side of the codend and extending over all or any part of the upper
side of the codend, having in all its parts a mesh size twice that of the codend when measured wet and fastened to the
codend along the forward, lateral and rear edges only of the netting in such a way that each mesh of the netting
exactly coincides with four meshes of the codend.
