recovery of
the stocks of cod and northern hake,
respectively in the Regulations (EC) No 2056/2001 (6)
and No 1162/2001 (7), and has presented a proposal for
a Regulation containing recovery plans for these stocks.

It is therefore necessary to ensure that the TACs for
2002 on these stocks and associated ones are consistent
with the recovery plans.

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

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.

5. 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 mm, 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 mm, 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 of 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 of the same Regulation, the two gear models authorised in 2002 will be the 130mm and the model
specified in the Appendix to this Annex. This provision will be fully enforced as of 1 April 2002.

2. Summer ban for Baltic cod

Fishing for cod shall be prohibited in the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the Sound from 1 June to 31 August inclusive.

3. Mesh size for fishing for cod with towed nets

Notwithstanding the provisions of Annex IV of Council Regulation (EC) No 88/98, the minimum mesh size for
fishing for cod with trawls, Danish seines and similar nets shall be 130 mm. This mesh size shall apply to any
cod-end or extension piece found on board a fishing vessel and attached to or suitable for attachment to any
towed net.

4. Rules on the use of gillnets for fishing for cod in the Baltic Sea

Notwithstanding the provisions of Annex IV of Council Regulation (EC) No 88/98, the minimum mesh size for
fishing for cod in the Baltic sea will be 110 mm. This rule shall be applicable as of 1 September 2002.

The nets shall not exceed a maximum length of 12 km for vessels with an overall length of up to and including 12
metres.

The nets shall not exceed a maximum length of 24 km for vessels with an overall length of more than 12 metres.

The soaking time of the nets shall not exceed 48 hours counting from the time the nets are first put in the water
to the time when the nets are fully recovered on board the fishing vessel.

5. By-catch of cod in the Baltic Sea

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 88/98 the by-catch of cod taken
when fishing for herring and sprat with mesh sizes of 32 mm or smaller shall not exceed 3 % by weight. Of this
by-catch of cod, no more than 5 % of undersized cod shall be kept on board.

6. Closure of Bornholm Deep

All fishing shall be prohibited from 15 May to 31 August 2002 within the area bounded by the following
coordinates:

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

The window shall be inserted into the top panel of the codend. The window shall terminate not more than 4 meshes
from the codline, inclusive of the hand braided row of meshes through which the codline is passed (Figure 2).

Size of the window

The width of the window, expressed in number of mesh bars, shall be equal to the number of open diamond meshes in
the top panel divided by two. If necessary, it will be allowed to maintain at the most 20 % of the number of open
diamond meshes in the top panel divided evenly on the both sides of the window panel (Figure 3).

Length of the window shall be at least 3,5 meters.

The netting of the window

The meshes shall have a minimum mesh opening of 120 millimetres. The meshes shall be square meshes i.e. all four
sides of the window netting will be cut all bars. The netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and
perpendicular to the length of the codend. The netting shall be knotless braided single twine or a netting with similar
proven selective properties (stiffness, strengths and stability). The diameter of the single yarn shall be at least 4,9
millimetres.

Other specification

The mounting specifications are defined in Figures 4a to c. The length of the lifting strap shall not be less than 4 m.

Figure 1

A trawl gear can be divided into three different sections according to their shape and function. Trawl body is always a
tapered section often between 10 and 40 m long. Extension piece is an untapered section normally manufactured of
either one or two pieces of 49,5 mesh long nets giving a stretched length between 6 or 12 m. Codend is also an
untapered section often made of double twine in order to have a better resistance against heavy wearing. The length of
codend is often 49,5 meshes i.e. ca 6 meter although shorter codends (2 to 4) exists in smaller vessels. The part below
the lifting strap is called lifting bag.

Figure 2

The distance of window panel from codline is 4 meshes. There are 3,5 diamond meshes in the upper panel and one
0,5 mesh deep hand-braided (cid:145)codline(cid:146) row.

Figure 3

Twenty percent of diamond meshes in the upper panel along a perpendicular row running from one selvedge to
another may be maintained. For example (like in figure) if the upper panel would be 30 open meshes wide 20 % of
that would be 6 meshes. Then three open meshes are divided on both sides of the window panel. Consequently the
width of the window panel would then become 12 mesh bars (30 (cid:150) 6 = 24 diamond meshes divided by two is 12
mesh bars).

with the following requirements:

(a)

the netting shall not have a mesh size less than that specified for the net itself;

(b)

the netting may be fastened to the cod-end only along the forward and lateral edges of the netting and shall be
fastened in such a manner that it extends forward of the splitting strap no more than four meshes and ends not
less than four meshes in front of the codline mesh; where a splitting strap is not used, the netting shall not extend
to more than one-third of the cod-end measured from not less than four meshes in front of the codline mesh;

(c)

the number of meshes in the width of the netting shall be at least one and a half times the number of meshes in

axis of the cod-end.

(cid:145)Multiple flap(cid:146) top-side chafer

Pieces of netting having in all their parts meshes the dimensions of which, whether the pieces of netting are wet or dry,
are not less than those of the meshes of the net to which they are attached, provided that:

(i)

each piece of netting:

(a)

is fastened only by its forward edge across the cod-end at right angles to its longitudinal axis;

(b)

is at least equal in width to the width of the cod-end (such width being measured at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the cod-end 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
cod-end.

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

A rectangular piece of netting made of the same twine material as the cod-end, or of a single, thick, knotless twine
material, attached to the rear portion of the upper side of the cod-end and extending over all or any part of the upper

ANNEX XV

Compulsory research trawls in CCAMLR Sub-area 48.3 in directed fisheries for Champsocephalus gunnari
during the spawning season

1. All fishing vessels taking part in the fishery for Champsocephalus gunnari in Sub-area 48.3 of CCAMLR between 1
March and 31 May 2002 shall be required to conduct a minimum of 20 research hauls during that period. Twelve
research hauls shall be carried out in the Shag Rocks (cid:151) Black Rocks area. These shall be distributed between the
four sectors illustrated in Figure 1: four each in the NW and SE sectors, and two each in the NE and SW sectors. A
further eight research hauls shall be conducted on the north-western shelf of South Georgia over water less than
300 m deep, as illustrated in Figure 1.

2.

3.

Each research haul must be at least 5 nautical miles distant from all others. The spacing of stations is intended to
be such that both areas are adequately covered in order to provide information on the length, sex, maturity and
weight composition of Champsocephalus gunnari.

If concentrations of fish are located en route to South Georgia, they should be fished in addition to the research
hauls.

4. The duration of research hauls must be a minimum of 30 minutes with the net at fishing depth. During the day,

the net must be fished close to the bottom.

5. The catch of all research hauls shall be sampled by the international scientific observer on board. Samples should
aim to comprise at least 100 fish, sampled using standard random sampling techniques. All fish in the sample
should be at least examined for length, sex and maturity determination, and where possible, weight. More fish
should be examined if the catch is large and time permits.

Figure 1

Distribution of 20 exploratory fishing hauls on Champsocephalus gunnari at Shag Rocks (12) and South Georgia (8)
from 1 March to 31 May 2002. Haul locations around South Georgia (stars) are illustrative.
