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 (1) 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, and in particular Articles 106(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Council Regulation (EC) No 1415/2004 of 19 July 2004 fixing the maximum annual fishing effort for certain fishing areas and fisheries (2) establishes the maximum annual fishing effort for certain fishing areas and fisheries, in particular for scallops in certain areas of Ireland.












(2)


Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks and repealing Regulation (EC) No 423/2004 (3) establishes a fishing effort limitation for four cod stocks in certain geographical areas.












(3)


Council Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 of 14 January 2010 fixing for 2010 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required and amending Regulations (EC) No 1359/2008, (EC) No 754/2009, (EC) No 1226/2009 and (EC) No 1287/2009 (4) establishes the maximum allowable fishing effort for the year 2010.












(4)

(5)


According to Article 106(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing effort which has been allocated to it, the Commission shall operate deductions from future fishing effort allocations to that Member State.












(6)


Articles 106(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 establish the criteria and conditions for the operation of such deductions by the Commission.












(7)


Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing effort allocation for the year 2010. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions from the fishing effort allocated to them in the year 2011.

Article 1
The maximum allowable fishing effort fixed in Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 and, for certain fishing areas and fisheries in Council Regulation (EC) No 1415/2004, is reduced for 2011 for certain Member States as set out in the Annex.
