         COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/92
         of 28 January 2021
         fixing for 2021 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
         THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
         Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Article 43(3) of the Treaty provides that the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, is to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) requires that conservation measures be adopted, taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice, including, where relevant, reports drawn up by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) and other advisory bodies, as well as any advice received from advisory councils.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     It is incumbent upon the Council to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities, including certain conditions functionally linked thereto, as appropriate. Pursuant to Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, fishing opportunities are to be fixed in accordance with the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) set out in Article 2(2) of that Regulation. Pursuant to Article 16(1) of that Regulation, fishing opportunities allocated to Member States are to ensure relative stability of fishing activities of each Member State for each fish stock or fishery.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     The total allowable catch (TAC) should therefore be established, in line with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, on the basis of available scientific advice, taking into account biological and socio-economic aspects whilst ensuring fair treatment between fishing sectors, as well as in the light of the opinions expressed during the consultation of stakeholders, in particular at the meetings of the advisory councils.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     Pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation applies fully from 1 January 2019 and all species subject to catch limits are to be landed. Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 provides that, when the landing obligation in respect of a fish stock is introduced, fishing opportunities are to be fixed taking into account the change from fixing fishing opportunities that reflect landings to fixing fishing opportunities that reflect catches. On the basis of the joint recommendations submitted by the Member States and in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the Commission adopted a number of delegated regulations laying down details for the implementation of the landing obligation in the form of specific discard plans.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     The fishing opportunities for stocks of species falling under the landing obligation should take into account the fact that discarding is in principle no longer allowed. Therefore, the fishing opportunities should be based on the advice figure for total catches (instead of the advice figure for wanted catches), as provided by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). The quantities that, by way of exception from the landing obligation, may continue to be discarded should be deducted from that advice figure for total catches.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     There are certain stocks for which ICES has issued scientific advice for no catches. If TACs for those stocks are established at the level indicated in the scientific advice, the obligation to land all catches, including by-catches from those stocks, in mixed fisheries would lead to the phenomenon of ‘choke species’. In order to strike the right balance between continuing fisheries in view of the potentially severe socio-economic implications, and the need to achieve a good biological status for those stocks, taking into account the difficulty of fishing all stocks in a mixed fishery at maximum sustainable yield (MSY) at the same time, it is appropriate to establish specific TACs for by-catches for those stocks. The level of those TACs should be such that mortality for those stocks is decreased and that it provides incentives for improvements in selectivity and avoidance.
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     In order to guarantee to the extent possible the use of fishing opportunities in mixed fisheries in accordance with Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, it is appropriate to establish a pool for quota exchanges for those Member States that have no quota to cover their unavoidable by-catches.
                  
               
                     (9)
                  
                  
                     In order to reduce catches of the stocks for which by-catch TACs are established, fishing opportunities for the fisheries in which fish from those stocks is caught should be fixed at levels that help the biomass of vulnerable stocks to recover to sustainable levels. Technical and control measures that are intrinsically linked to fishing opportunities should also be established to prevent illegal discarding.
                  
               
                     (10)
                  
                  
                     In accordance with the Western Waters multiannual plan established by Regulation (EU) 2019/472 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (‘the Western Waters multiannual plan’), the target fishing mortality, in line with the ranges of FMSY defined in Article 2 of that Regulation, was to be achieved as soon as possible, and on a progressive and incremental basis by 2020 for the stocks listed in Article 1(1) of that Regulation and is to be maintained thereafter within the ranges of FMSY, in accordance with Article 4 of that Regulation. The overall fishing mortality for European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in ICES divisions 8a and 8b should therefore be set in line with MSY, taking into account commercial and recreational catches and including discards (3 108 tonnes altogether according to the ICES advice). Member States are to take appropriate measures to ensure that the fishing mortality from their fleets and from their recreational fishermen does not exceed FMSY point value, as required by Article 4(3) and (4) of Regulation (EU) 2019/472.
                  
               
                     (11)
                  
                  
                     Measures for recreational fisheries for European seabass should also be continued, taking account of the significant impact of such fisheries on the stocks concerned. Within the limits of the scientific advice, the bag limits should be continued. Considering the lack of sufficient selectivity and that higher number of specimens are likely to be caught than the established limits, fixed nets should be excluded. Having considered environmental, social and economic circumstances, and especially the dependency of commercial fishermen on those stocks in coastal communities, those measures for European seabass would strike an appropriate balance between the interests of commercial and recreational fishermen. In particular, those measures would allow recreational fishermen to exercise their fishing activities by taking into account their impact on those stocks.
                  
               
                     (12)
                  
                  
                     As regards the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) stock, ICES has advised that all anthropogenic mortalities, including those due to recreational and commercial fisheries, should be reduced to zero, or kept as close to zero as possible. Moreover, the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) adopted Recommendation GFCM/42/2018/1 establishing management measures for European eel in the Mediterranean. It is appropriate to maintain the level-playing field across the Union and hence to maintain also for the Union waters of the ICES area as well as brackish waters such as estuaries, coastal lagoons and transitional waters a consecutive three-month closure period for all fisheries of European eel at all life stages. As the fishing closure period should be consistent with the conservation objectives set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1100/2007 (3) and with the temporal migration patterns of European eel, for the Union waters of the ICES area it is appropriate to set it in the period between 1 August 2021 and 28 February 2022.
                  
               
                     (13)
                  
                  
                     For some years, certain TACs for stocks of elasmobranchs (skates, sharks, rays) have been set at zero, with a linked provision establishing an obligation to immediately release accidental catches. The reason for that specific treatment was the poor conservation status of those stocks and the assumption that discarding, because of high survival rates, would not raise fishing mortality rates and would be beneficial for the conservation of those species. As of 1 January 2019, however, catches of those species have to be landed, unless they are covered by any of the derogations from the landing obligation provided for in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Point (a) of Article 15(4) of that Regulation allows such derogations for species in respect of which fishing is prohibited and which are identified as such in a Union legal act adopted in the area of the CFP. Therefore, it is appropriate to prohibit fishing of those species in the areas concerned.
                  
               
                     (14)
                  
                  
                     Pursuant to Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, for stocks subject to specific multiannual plans the TACs should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in those plans.
                  
               
                     (15)
                  
                  
                     The North Sea multiannual plan was established by Regulation (EU) 2018/973 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) and entered into force in 2018. The Western Waters multiannual plan entered into force in 2019. Fishing opportunities for stocks listed in Article 1 of those plans should be fixed in accordance with targets (ranges of FMSY) and safeguards provided for in those plans. The ranges of FMSY have been identified in the relevant ICES advice. Where no adequate scientific information is available, fishing opportunities for by-catch stocks should be fixed in accordance with the precautionary approach, as set out in those multiannual plans.
                  
               
                     (16)
                  
                  
                     In accordance with Article 8 of the Western Waters multiannual plan, where scientific advice indicates that the spawning stock biomass of any of the stocks referred to in Article 1(1) of that plan is below the limit reference point (Blim), further remedial measures are to be taken to ensure rapid return of the stock to levels above the level capable of producing MSY. In particular, those remedial measures may include suspending the targeted fishery for the stock concerned and the adequate reduction of fishing opportunities for those stocks or other stocks in the fisheries.
                  
               
                     (17)
                  
                  
                     The TACs for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/1627 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5).
                  
               
                     (18)
                  
                  
                     On 17 December 2018 ICES published scientific advice on the inter-area flexibility for horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) between ICES divisions 8c and 9a. ICES advised the inter-area flexibility between those two stocks should not exceed the difference between the catch corresponding to a fishing mortality of Fp.05 and the established TAC. There should also be no transfer of TAC to a stock with a spawning-stock biomass below the Blim. Under the conditions of that scientific advice, the inter-area flexibility (special condition) for horse mackerel between ICES subarea 9 and ICES division 8c for 2021 should be established at 10 %.
                  
               
                     (19)
                  
                  
                     For stocks for which there is no sufficient or reliable data in order to provide size estimates, management measures and TAC levels should follow the precautionary approach to fisheries management as defined in point (8) of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, while taking into account stock-specific factors, including, in particular, available information on stock trends and mixed fisheries considerations.
                  
               
                     (20)
                  
                  
                     Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (6) introduced additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs including, under Articles 3 and 4 of that Regulation, flexibility provisions for precautionary and analytical TACs. Under Article 2 of that Regulation, when establishing the TACs, the Council is to decide to which stocks Article 3 or 4 of that Regulation is not to apply, in particular on the basis of the biological status of the stocks. In 2014, a further year-to-year flexibility mechanism was introduced by Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 for all stocks that are subject to the landing obligation. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive flexibility that would undermine the principle of rational and responsible exploitation of marine biological resources, hinder the achievement of the objectives of the CFP and deteriorate the biological status of the stocks, it should be decided that Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 apply to analytical TACs only where the year-to-year flexibility provided for in Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 is not used.
                  
               
                     (21)
                  
                  
                     Moreover, given that the biomass of the stocks of COD/03AS, COD/5BE6A, WHG/56-14, WHG/07A and PLE/7HJK is below Blim and that only by-catch and scientific fisheries are permitted in 2021, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden have undertaken not to apply Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 in respect of those stocks for transfers from 2020 to 2021 so that catches in 2021 will not exceed the TAC established for those stocks.
                  
               
                     (22)
                  
                  
                     Where a TAC relating to a stock is allocated to one Member State only, it is appropriate to empower that Member State, in accordance with Article 2(1) of the Treaty, to determine the level of such TAC. Provisions should be made to ensure that, when determining that TAC level, the Member State concerned acts in a manner fully consistent with the principles and rules of the CFP.
                  
               
                     (23)
                  
                  
                     It is necessary to establish the fishing effort ceilings for 2021 in accordance with Articles 5, 6, 7 and 9 of, and Annex I to, Regulation (EU) 2016/1627.
                  
               
                     (24)
                  
                  
                     In order to guarantee full use of fishing opportunities, it is appropriate to allow for the implementation of a flexible arrangement between certain TAC areas where the same biological stock is concerned.
                  
               
                     (25)
                  
                  
                     For certain species, such as certain species of sharks, even a limited fishing activity could result in a serious conservation risk. Fishing opportunities for such species should therefore be fully restricted through a general prohibition on fishing those species.
                  
               
                     (26)
                  
                  
                     At the 12th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, held in Manila from 23 to 28 October 2017, a number of species were added to the lists of protected species in Appendices I and II to that Convention. Therefore, it is appropriate to provide for the protection of those species with respect to Union fishing vessels fishing in all waters and non-Union fishing vessels fishing in Union waters.
                  
               
                     (27)
                  
                  
                     The use of fishing opportunities available to Union fishing vessels set out in this Regulation is subject to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 (7), and in particular to Articles 33 and 34 of that Regulation, concerning the recording of catches and fishing effort and the notification of data on the exhaustion of fishing opportunities. It is therefore necessary to specify the codes to be used by Member States when sending data to the Commission relating to landings of stocks subject to this Regulation.
                  
               
                     (28)
                  
                  
                     It is appropriate, following advice from ICES, to maintain a specific system to manage sandeel and associated by-catches in Union waters of ICES divisions 2a and 3a and ICES subarea 4. Given that the ICES scientific advice is expected to become available only in February 2021, it is appropriate to establish the TAC and quotas for that stock provisionally at zero until such advice is released.
                  
               
                     (29)
                  
                  
                     The Union TAC for Greenland Halibut in international waters of ICES subareas 1 and 2 is without prejudice to the Union’s position on the appropriate Union share in this fishery.
                  
               
                     (30)
                  
                  
                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) adopted a conservation measure for the two redfish stocks in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters, prohibiting directed fisheries of those stocks. In addition, it prohibited fishing activities in the area where redfish aggregates in order to minimise by-catches. That NEAFC measure, based on the ICES advice for zero catches, should be implemented in Union law. The NEAFC was not able to adopt a recommendation for redfish in ICES subareas 1 and 2. For that stock, the relevant TAC should be established in line with the Union position expressed within the NEAFC.
                  
               
                     (31)
                  
                  
                     Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) annual meeting for 2020 was replaced by a decision-making process by correspondence, which started in October 2020 and which should end in early January 2021. One of the main objectives of that decision-making process was to allow the rollover of existing measures ending in 2020 with minor technical adaptations where necessary.
                  
               
                     (32)
                  
                  
                     ICCAT Recommendation 19-04 for a management plan for bluefin tuna establishes a TAC only for 2019 and 2020. Therefore, a decision is still to be taken by ICCAT on the TAC level for 2021. Considering the decision-making process in 2020, it has been proposed to follow the scientific advice, which recommends that the TAC be maintained at 36 000 tonnes. While there seems to be a consensus on the level of TAC, there is a risk that ICCAT will not formally adopt it before this Regulation is adopted. The TAC should therefore be established at that level, but should be revised as soon as possible if ICCAT adopts a different TAC.

                     During the 2020 ICCAT decision-making process, the Union proposed a comprehensive plan that included a TAC with the aim of stopping immediately the overfishing of shortfin mako in the Northern Atlantic, together with a series of flanking measures to reduce its mortality further. In the absence of consensus within ICCAT, and in light of the dire situation of that stock and considering that the Union is responsible for two thirds of the catch level, the Union should establish a unilateral catch limit for that species. That catch limit would correspond to the Union share of the limit as required by the scientific committee at ICCAT level.

                     ICCAT Recommendation 17-04 on a harvest control rule (HCR) for North Atlantic albacore only establishes a TAC for the period 2018–2020. Therefore, a decision is still to be taken by ICCAT on the TAC level for 2021. Considering the decision-making process in 2020, it has been proposed to follow the scientific advice, which recommends that the new TAC be established on the basis of the current interim HCR and that a pro-rata increase in the catch and other limits be implemented for one year only. While there seems to be a consensus on the level of TAC, there is a risk that ICCAT will not formally adopt it before this Regulation is adopted. The TAC should therefore be established at that level, but should be revised as soon as possible if ICCAT adopts a different TAC.

                     Considering the decision-making process in 2020, ICCAT has not yet formally adopted the TACs for bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, and white marlin. While there seems to be a consensus on the level of the TACs, there is a risk that ICCAT will not formally adopt them before this Regulation is adopted. The TACs should therefore be established at that level, but should be revised as soon as possible if ICCAT adopts different TACs.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the Parties to the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) adopted catch limits for both target and by-catch species for the period from 1 December 2020 to 30 November 2021. The uptake of the quotas during 2020 should be considered when fixing fishing opportunities for 2021.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) maintained the previously adopted conservation and management measures. Those measures should continue to be implemented in Union law.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) did not reach consensus on the extension of the most recent tropical tuna measure, which expired on 31 December 2020. As a result, the tropical tuna fishery in the Eastern Pacific Ocean will not be regulated as from 1 January 2021. In view of the precautionary principle of the CFP, it is appropriate that the Union continue to apply provisions on tropical tuna as set out in Council Regulation (EU) 2020/123 (8) until a new tropical tuna measure is agreed by IATTC.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT) confirmed the TAC for the southern bluefin tuna for 2021 adopted at the annual meeting in 2016. Those measures should be implemented in Union law.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO) decided to apply in 2021 the 2020 TACs for the main species under its purview until its next annual meeting in 2021. Those measures should be implemented in Union law.

                     At its annual meeting in 2020, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) extended the conservation and management measures for tropical tunas. It also clarified the catch limits applicable to Union longliners fishing for bigeye tuna. Those measures should be implemented in Union law.

                     At its 42nd annual meeting in 2020, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) adopted a number of fishing opportunities for 2021 for certain stocks in subareas 1 to 4 of the NAFO Convention Area. Those measures should be implemented in the Union law.

                     As regards the fishing opportunities for snow crab around the area of Svalbard, the Treaty of 9 February 1920 relating to Spitsbergen (Svalbard) ('the 1920 Treaty of Paris') grants equal and non-discriminatory access to resources for all Parties to that Treaty, including with respect to fishing. The view of the Union concerning that access, as regards fishing for snow crab on the continental shelf around Svalbard, has been set out in two notes verbales to Norway dated 25 October 2016 and 24 February 2017. In order to ensure that the exploitation of snow crab within the area of Svalbard is made consistent with such non-discriminatory management rules as may be set out by Norway, which enjoys sovereignty and jurisdiction in the area within the limits of that Treaty, it is appropriate to fix the number of vessels that are authorised to conduct such fishery. The allocation of such fishing opportunities among Member States is limited to 2021. It is recalled that in the Union primary responsibility for ensuring compliance with applicable law lies with the flag Member States.

                     In accordance with the Declaration addressed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on the granting of fishing opportunities in EU waters to fishing vessels flying the flag of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the exclusive economic zone off the coast of French Guiana (9) issued by the Union, it is necessary to fix the fishing opportunities for snapper available to Venezuela in Union waters.

                     Given that certain provisions are to be applied on a continuous basis, and in order to avoid legal uncertainty during the period between the end of 2021 and the date of entry into force of the Regulation fixing the fishing opportunities for 2022, the provisions concerning prohibitions and closed seasons set out in this Regulation should continue to apply at the beginning of 2022, until the entry into force of the Regulation fixing the fishing opportunities for 2022.

                     In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission as regards authorising individual Member States to manage fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt-day system. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10).

                     In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission as regards the granting of additional days at sea for permanent cessation of fishing activities and for enhanced scientific observer coverage , and as regards the establishment of spreadsheet formats for the collection and transmission of information concerning transfer of days at sea between fishing vessels flying the flag of a Member State. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011.

                     In order to avoid the interruption of fishing activities and to ensure the livelihood of the fishermen of the Union, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2021, except for the provisions concerning fishing effort limits, which should apply from 1 February 2021, and certain provisions concerning particular regions, which should have a specific date of application. For reasons of urgency, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication.
                  
               
                     (51)
                  
                  
                     Certain international measures which create or restrict fishing opportunities for the Union are adopted by the relevant regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) at the end of the year and become applicable before the entry into force of this Regulation. It is therefore necessary for the provisions that implement such measures in Union law to apply retroactively. In particular, since the fishing season in the CCAMLR Convention Area runs from 1 December to 30 November, and thus certain fishing opportunities or prohibitions in the CCAMLR Convention Area are laid down for a period of time starting from 1 December 2020, it is appropriate that the relevant provisions of this Regulation apply from that date. Such retroactive application does not prejudice the principle of legitimate expectations as CCAMLR members are forbidden to fish in the CCAMLR Convention Area without authorisation.

                     Due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, a large number of stocks are becoming shared stocks. The Commission will undertake bilateral consultations with the United Kingdom, bilateral consultations with Norway and trilateral consultations with the United Kingdom and Norway on the basis of the draft Union position to be endorsed by the Council. As those consultations have not yet been concluded, the Council should, in a manner that fully respects the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the rights and obligations of the coastal States as well as their sovereignty and jurisdiction, establish provisional TACs to be fished in Union and international waters, and waters to which the Union vessels are granted access by third countries.
                  
               
                     (53)
                  
                  
                     The provisional TACs should aim to ensure the continuation of sustainable Union fishing activities until those consultations are concluded in compliance with the Union legal framework and international obligations or, if they cannot be concluded successfully, until the Council establishes unilateral Union TACs in 2021. Those provisional fishing opportunities should in no circumstances impede the fixing definitive fishing opportunities in accordance with international agreements, in particular the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part (11), which applies provisionally from 1 January 2021 (12), and the outcome of consultations, the Union legal framework and the scientific advice. As a general approach, they should correspond to 25 % of the Union share of the fishing opportunities fixed for 2020. The Union share of those fishing opportunities was calculated according to the principle of relative stability and the 'Hague Preferences'. This approach is without prejudice to an approach that may be taken in the future international agreements. In a very limited number of cases, a different percentage should be used where the stocks are predominantly fished in the beginning of the year or scientific advice requires severe reductions in fishing opportunities. The Union has consulted the relevant third countries on the approach for establishing provisional TACs.

                     According to scientific advice, the spawning-stock biomass of European seabass in the Celtic Sea, Channel, Irish Sea and southern North Sea (ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7a, and 7d to 7h) has been declining since 2009 and is currently below MSY Btrigger and just above Blim. The fishing mortality due to the measures taken by the Union has decreased and is currently below FMSY point value. However, recruitment is low, fluctuating without trend since 2008. Therefore, the catch limits should be provisionally continued pending the consultations with third countries, while ensuring that the target fishing mortality for this stock does not exceed MSY. Provided that European seabass in that area is a stock shared with third countries, provisional measures should be set for the first quarter of 2021 for this stock, pending the outcome of international negotiations and consultations.
                  
               
                     (55)
                  
                  
                     ICES advice for 2021 indicates that the stocks of cod and whiting in the Celtic Sea are below Blim. Specific remedial measures were already taken for those stocks pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2020/123. The purpose of those measures was to contribute to the recovery of the stocks concerned. The measures for cod aim at improving selectivity by making the usage of gear that has lower levels of by-catches of cod mandatory in the areas where cod catches are significant, thus decreasing the fishing mortality of that stock in mixed fisheries. The measures for whiting consist of technical modifications to characteristics of gear to decrease by-catches of whiting. In accordance with Article 8 of the Western Waters multiannual plan, where scientific advice indicates that the spawning stock biomass of any of the stocks referred to in Article 1(1) of that plan is below Blim, further remedial measures are to be taken to ensure the rapid return of the stock to levels above the level capable of producing MSY. In particular, those remedial measures may include suspending the targeted fishery for the stock concerned and the adequate reduction of fishing opportunities for those stocks or other stocks in the fisheries that have by-catches of cod or whiting.
                  
               
                     (56)
                  
                  
                     The measures to reduce bycatches of gadoids are functionally linked to the TACs of species caught in mixed fisheries together with gadoids (e.g. haddock, megrims, anglerfish and Norway lobster), as, without those measures in place, TAC levels of target species should be reduced to ensure that gadoid stocks are able to recover. It is therefore proposed that those measures also be adopted for 2021, taking into account further assessment of those measures and work undertaken by the Member States of the North Western Waters.
                  
               
                     (57)
                  
                  
                     In line with the regionalisation process of the CFP, the Member States of the North Western Waters have submitted a joint recommendation on a broader range of specific measures to reduce bycatches of cod and whiting in the Celtic Sea and adjacent areas based on the remedial measures that were in place in 2020. Additional selectivity measures aiming to reduce gadoid bycatches in the Irish Sea and West of Scotland are also included in that joint recommendation, based on similar measures that were in place in 2020.
                  
               
                     (58)
                  
                  
                     The STECF considers that, overall, the proposed measures are more selective or at least as selective as the technical measures in Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13), and the Commission is currently considering including those measures in a delegated act based on the joint recommendation submitted by the Member States having a direct management interest in the North Western Waters.
                  
               
                     (59)
                  
                  
                     As those measures are more comprehensive and will apply on a more stable basis, the functionally linked technical measures should only apply in the absence of a delegated act adopted in accordance with Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1241 and amending Annex VI of that Regulation by introducing corresponding technical measures for the North Western Waters.

                           Union fishing vessels;
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           third-country vessels in Union waters.
                        
                     
            
               2.   This Regulation also applies to:

               1.   Where a reference is made to this paragraph in a fishing opportunities table in Annex IA or Annex IB, the fishing opportunities in that table are provisional and shall apply from 1 January to 31 March 2021. Those provisional fishing opportunities shall be without prejudice to the fixing of definitive fishing opportunities for 2021 in accordance with the outcomes of international negotiations or consultations, the scientific advice, the applicable provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and relevant multiannual plans.
            
            
               2.   Union vessels may fish for stocks in accordance with the provisional fishing opportunities referred to in paragraph 1 in Union and international waters and in waters of third countries that have granted access to their waters for Union vessels.
            
         
         
            Article 8
            Conditions for landing catches and by-catches
            
               1.   Catches that are not subject to the landing obligation under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 shall be retained on board or landed only if they:
               
                           (a)
                        
                        
                           have been taken by vessels flying the flag of a Member State having a quota and that quota has not been exhausted; or
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           consist of a share in a Union quota which has not been allocated by quota among Member States, and that Union quota has not been exhausted.
                        
                     
            
               2.   The stocks of non-target species within safe biological limits referred to in Article 15(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 are identified in Annex I to this Regulation for the purposes of the derogation from the obligation to count catches against the relevant quotas provided for in that Article.
            
         
         
            Article 9
            Quota-exchange mechanism for TACs for unavoidable by-catches with regard to the landing obligation
            
               1.   In order to take into account the introduction of the landing obligation and to make quotas for certain by-catches available to Member States without a quota, the quota-exchange mechanism set out in paragraphs 2 to 5 shall apply to the TACs identified in Annex IA.
            
            
               2.   6 % of each quota from the provisional TACs for cod in the Celtic Sea, cod in the West of Scotland, whiting in the Irish Sea and plaice in ICES divisions 7h, 7j and 7k, and 3 % of each quota from the provisional TAC for West of Scotland whiting, allocated to each Member State, shall be made available for a pool for quota exchanges, which shall open as of 1 January 2021. Member States without quota shall have exclusive access to the quota pool until 31 March 2021.
            
            
               3.   The quantities drawn from the pool may not be exchanged or transferred to the following year. Any unused quantities shall be returned, after 31 March 2021, to those Member States that have initially contributed to the pool for quota exchanges.
            
            
               4.   The quotas provided in return shall be preferably taken from a list of TACs identified by each Member State contributing to the pool as listed in the Appendix to Annex IA.
            
            
               5.   The quotas referred to in paragraph 4 shall be of equivalent commercial value by using a market exchange rate or other mutually acceptable exchange rates. In absence of alternatives, the equivalent economic value in accordance to the average Union prices of the previous year, as provided by the European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products, shall be used.
            
            
               6.   In cases where the quota-exchange mechanism set out in paragraphs 2–5 of this Article does not allow Member States to cover their unavoidable by-catches to a similar extent, Member States shall endeavour to agree on quota exchanges pursuant to Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, ensuring that quotas exchanged are of equivalent commercial value.
            
         
         
            Article 10
            Fishing effort limits in ICES division 7e
            
               1.   For the periods referred to in point (b) of Article 1(2), the technical aspects of the rights and obligations related to Annex II for the management of the sole stock in ICES division 7e are set out in Annex II.
            
            
               2.   The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate a requesting Member State a number of days at sea additional to those referred to in point 5 of Annex II, on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within ICES division 7e when carrying on board any regulated gear, on the basis of such a request by that Member State, in accordance with point 7.4 of that Annex. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 58(2).
            
            
               3.   The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate a requesting Member State a maximum of three days between 1 February 2021 and 31 January 2022 additional to those referred to in point 5 of Annex II, on which a vessel may be present within ICES division 7e on the basis of an enhanced programme of scientific observer coverage as referred to in point 8.1 of that Annex. Such an allocation shall be done on the basis of the description submitted by that Member State in accordance with point 8.3 of Annex II and following consultation with the STECF. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 58(2).
            
         
         
            
               Article 11
            
            Measures on European seabass fisheries
            
               1.   It shall be prohibited for Union fishing vessels, as well as for any commercial fisheries from shore, to fish for European seabass in ICES divisions 4b and 4c, and in ICES subarea 7. It shall be prohibited to retain, tranship, relocate or land European seabass caught in that area.
            
            
               2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, in January 2021, Union fishing vessels in ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7d, 7e, 7f and 7h may fish for European seabass, and retain, tranship, relocate or land European seabass caught in that area with the following gear and within the following limits:
               
                           (a)
                        
                        
                           using demersal trawls (26), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 520 kilogrammes per two months and 5 % of the weight of the total catches of marine organisms on board caught by that vessel per fishing trip;
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           using seines (27), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 520 kilogrammes per two months and 5 % of the weight of the total catches of marine organisms on board caught by that vessel per fishing trip;
                        
                     
                           (c)
                        
                        
                           using hooks and lines (28), not exceeding 1,43 tonnes per vessel;
                        
                     
                           (d)
                        
                        
                           using fixed gillnets (29), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 0,35 tonnes per vessel.
                        
                     The derogations set out in the first subparagraph shall apply to Union fishing vessels that have recorded catches of European seabass over the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 September 2016: in point (c) with recorded catches using hooks and lines, and in point (d) with recorded catches using fixed gillnets. In the case of a replacement of a Union fishing vessel, Member States may allow the derogation to apply to another fishing vessel provided that the number of Union fishing vessels subject to the derogation and their overall fishing capacity do not increase.
            
            
               3.   The catch limits set out in paragraph 2 shall not be transferable between vessels and, where a monthly limit applies, from one month to another. For Union fishing vessels using more than one gear in a single calendar month, the lowest catch limit set out in paragraph 2 for either gear shall apply.
               Member States shall report to the Commission all catches of European seabass per type of gear no later than 15 days after the end of each month.
            
            
               4.   France and Spain shall ensure that fishing mortality of European seabass stock in ICES divisions 8a and 8b from their commercial and recreational fisheries do not exceed the FMSY point value resulting in 3 108 tonnes of total catches, as required by Article 4(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/472.
            
            
               5.   In recreational fisheries, including from shore, in ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 6a, 7a to 7k:
               
                           (a)
                        
                        
                           from 1 January to 28 February, only catch-and-release fishing with a rod or a handline for European seabass shall be allowed. During that period, it shall be prohibited to retain, relocate, tranship or land European seabass caught in that area;
                        
                     
                           (b)
                        
                        
                           from 1 to 31 March not more than two specimens of European seabass may be caught and retained per fisherman per day; the minimum size of European seabass retained shall be 42 cm.
                        
                     Point (b) of the first subparagraph shall not apply to fixed nets, which shall not be used to catch or retain European seabass during the period referred to in that point.
            
            
               6.   In recreational fisheries, including from shore, in ICES divisions 8a and 8b, a maximum of two specimens of European seabass may be caught and retained per fisherman per day. This paragraph shall not apply to fixed nets, which shall not be used to catch or retain European seabass.
            
            
               7.   Paragraphs 5 and 6 shall be without prejudice to more stringent national measures on recreational fisheries.
            
         
         
            Article 12
            Measures on European eel fisheries in Union waters of the ICES area
            Any targeted, incidental and recreational fishery of European eel shall be prohibited in Union waters of the ICES area and brackish waters such as estuaries, coastal lagoons and transitional waters for a consecutive three-month period to be determined by each Member State concerned between 1 August 2021 and 28 February 2022. Member States shall communicate the determined period to the Commission no later than 1 June 2021.

                                       (i)
                                    
                                    
                                       a fishing gear that is constructed with a minimum of one metre spacing between the fishing line and ground gear; or
                                    
                                 
                                       (ii)
                                    
                                    
                                       any means proven to be at least equally selective for avoidance of cod, according to the assessment by ICES or the STECF, and approved by the Commission.
                                    
                                 
                     
            
               2.   Member States may exempt from the application of point (b) of paragraph 1 vessels fishing with bottom trawls whose catches, measured before any discards, consist of less than 1,5 % of cod, provided that those vessels are subject to a progressive increase of observer coverage at sea up to at least 20 % of all their fishing trips as of 1 July 2021.
            
            
               3.   Union vessels fishing with bottom trawls and seines in ICES divisions 7f to 7k and in the area west of 5° W longitude in ICES division 7e shall be prohibited from fishing unless they use a minimum cod-end mesh size of at least 100 mm. Nevertheless, that minimum cod-end mesh size requirement shall not apply to vessels whose by-catches of cod do not exceed 1,5 %, according to the assessment by the STECF, when fishing outside the areas referred to in paragraph 1.
            
            
               4.   Measures referred to in paragraph 3 shall apply to Union vessels fishing with bottom trawls and seines in ICES divisions 7b and 7c from 1 June 2021. Union vessels fishing in those areas may also use other fishing gear which, according to the assessment by the STECF, results in the same or better selectivity characteristics in mixed demersal fisheries as that of a minimum cod-end mesh size of at least 100 mm, and which has been approved by the Commission.
            
            
               5.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, in ICES divisions 7f and 7g, the part of ICES division 7h north of latitude 49° 30' North and the part of ICES division 7j north of latitude 49° 30' North and east of longitude 11° West:

            Quota transfers and exchanges
            
               1.   Where, under the rules of a regional fisheries management organisation (RFMO), quota transfers or exchanges between the Contracting Parties to the RFMO are permitted, a Member State (‘the Member State concerned’) may discuss with a Contracting Party to the RFMO and, as appropriate, establish a possible outline of an intended quota transfer or exchange.
            
            
               2.   Upon notification to the Commission by the Member State concerned, the Commission may endorse the outline of the intended quota transfer or exchange that the Member State has discussed with the relevant Contracting Party to the RFMO. Thereupon, the Commission shall express, without undue delay, the consent to be bound by such quota transfer or exchange with the relevant Contracting Party to the RFMO. The Commission shall notify the secretariat of the RFMO of the agreed quota transfer or exchange in accordance with the rules of that organisation.
            
            
               3.   The Commission shall inform the Member States of the agreed quota transfer or exchange.
            
            
               4.   The fishing opportunities received from or transferred to the relevant Contracting Party to the RFMO under the quota transfer or exchange shall be deemed to be quotas allocated to, or deducted from, the allocation of the Member State concerned, as of the moment that the quota transfer or exchange takes effect in accordance with the terms of the agreement reached with the relevant Contracting Party to the RFMO or in accordance with the rules of the relevant RFMO, as appropriate. Such allocation shall not change the existing distribution key for the purpose of allocating fishing opportunities among Member States in accordance with the principle of relative stability of fishing activities.
            
            
               5.   This Article shall apply until 31 January 2022 for quota transfers from a RFMO Contracting Party to the Union and their subsequent allocation to Member States.

                        Picked dogfish shall not be targeted in the areas covered by this TAC. When accidentally caught in fisheries where picked dogfish is not subject to the landing obligation, specimens shall not be harmed and shall be released immediately, as required by Articles 20 and 57 of this Regulation. By derogation from Article 14, a vessel engaged in the by-catch avoidance programme that has been positively assessed by the STECF may land not more than 2 tonnes per month of picked dogfish that is dead at the moment when the fishing gear is hauled on board. Member States participating in the by-catch avoidance programme shall ensure that the total annual landings of picked dogfish on the basis of this derogation do not exceed the above quantities. They shall communicate the list of participating vessels to the Commission before allowing any landings. Member States shall exchange information about avoidance areas.

                                    The NAFO Commission agreed at its 2020 Annual Meeting that the Union (Estonia) will transfer 25 fishing days of its fishing days allocation for 2021 to France, in respect of St Pierre et Miquelon. Those 25 fishing days have been deducted from Estonia’s number of fishing days, which would otherwise have been 416 days, under this interim regime for 2020 that will not create any catch history.

                        The TAC set out above is not allocated between SIOFA Parties, hence the Union’s share is undetermined. It may only be fished by vessels with observers on board during the fishing season from 1 December 2020 to 30 November 2021. No more than two longlines not exceeding 6 250  hooks are set per grid cell established by SIOFA and an interval of at least 30 days is applied between fishing trips according to the access conditions established by SIOFA. Catches of vessels not targeting this species shall not exceed 0,5 tonnes of Dissostichus spp. per fishing season. When a vessel reaches this limit, it may no longer fish in Williams Ridge.

                        6.1.
                     
                     
                        During the current management period, a Member State may manage its fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. Through that system it may authorise any vessel concerned by any regulated gear as set out in Table I to be present within the area for a maximum number of days which is different from that set out in that Table, provided that the overall amount of kilowatt days corresponding to the regulated gear is respected.
                     
                  
                     
                        6.2.
                     
                     
                        This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of the Member State concerned and qualified for the regulated gear. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if point 6.1 were not applied.
                     
                  
                     
                        6.3.
                     
                     
                        A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1 shall submit a request to the Commission, for the regulated gear as set out in Table I, with reports in electronic format containing the details of the calculation based on:

                                    the list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power;
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea from which each vessel would benefit in application of point 6.1.

                        On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the conditions referred to in point 6 are complied with and, where applicable, may authorise the Member State concerned to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1.
                     
                  7.   ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR PERMANENT CESSATION OF FISHING ACTIVITIES
            
                     
                        7.1.
                     
                     
                        An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place during the preceding management period either in accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) or with Council Regulation (EC) No 744/2008 (2). Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly reasoned request from the Member State concerned. Such written request shall identify the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never return to fishing activities.
                     
                  
                     
                        7.2.
                     
                     
                        The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using a given gear grouping shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear grouping during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.
                     
                  
                     
                        7.3.
                     
                     
                        Points 7.1 and 7.2 shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 4.2, or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.
                     
                  
                     
                        7.4.
                     
                     
                        A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 7.1 shall submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June of the current management period, with reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping as set out in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power;
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea according to the grouping of fishing gear.
                                 
                              
                  
                     
                        7.5.
                     
                     
                        During the current management period, a Member State may re-allocate any additionally granted days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in its fleet and qualified for the regulated gear.
                     
                  
                     
                        7.6.
                     
                     
                        When the Commission allocates additional days at sea due to a permanent cessation of fishing activities during the preceding management period the maximum number of days per Member State and gear set out in Table I shall be adjusted accordingly for the current management period.
                     
                  8.   ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR ENHANCED SCIENTIFIC OBSERVER COVERAGE
            
                     
                        8.1.
                     
                     
                        Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated between 1 February 2021 and 31 January 2022 to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of an enhanced programme of scientific observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry. Such a programme shall focus in particular on levels of discarding and on catch composition and go beyond the requirements on data collection, as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and its implementing rules for national programmes.
                     
                  
                     
                        8.2.
                     
                     
                        Scientific observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel and any crew member.
                     
                  
                     
                        8.3.
                     
                     
                        A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1 shall submit a description of its enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the Commission for approval.
                     
                  
                     
                        8.4.
                     
                     
                        If an enhanced scientific observer coverage programme submitted by a Member State has been approved by the Commission in the past and the Member State concerned wishes to continue its application without changes, it shall inform the Commission of the continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which the programme applies.

               Management
            
            9.   GENERAL OBLIGATION
            Member States shall manage the maximum allowable effort in accordance with Articles 26 to 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
            10.   MANAGEMENT PERIODS
            
                     
                        10.1.
                     
                     
                        A Member State may divide the days present within the area set out in Table I into management periods of durations of one or more calendar months.
                     
                  
                     
                        10.2.
                     
                     
                        The number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed by the Member State concerned.
                     
                  
                     
                        10.3.
                     
                     
                        Where a Member State authorises vessels flying its flag to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 9. Upon the request of the Commission, the Member State concerned shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period.
                     
                  CHAPTER V

            11.   TRANSFER OF DAYS BETWEEN FISHING VESSELS FLYING THE FLAG OF A MEMBER STATE
            
                     
                        11.1.
                     
                     
                        A Member State may permit any fishing vessel flying its flag to transfer days present within the area for which it has been authorised to another vessel flying its flag within the area, provided that the product of the number of days received by a vessel and its engine power in kilowatts (kilowatt days) is equal to or less than the product of the number of days transferred by the donor vessel and its engine power in kilowatts. The engine power in kilowatts of the vessels shall be that recorded for each vessel in the Union fishing fleet register.
                     
                  
                     
                        11.2.
                     
                     
                        The total number of days present within the area transferred in accordance with point 11.1, multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of the donor vessel, shall not be higher than the donor vessel’s average annual days track record in the area as verified by the fishing logbook in the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel.
                     
                  
                     
                        11.3.
                     
                     
                        The transfer of days in accordance with point 11.1 shall be permitted between vessels operating with any regulated gear and during the same management period.
                     
                  
                     
                        11.4.
                     
                     
                        Upon the request of the Commission, Member States shall provide information on the transfers that have taken place. Formats of spreadsheet for the collection and transmission of that information may be established by the Commission, by means of implementing acts. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 58(2).
                     
                  12.   TRANSFER OF DAYS BETWEEN FISHING VESSELS FLYING THE FLAG OF DIFFERENT MEMBER STATES
            Member States may permit transfer of days present within the area for the same management period and within the area between any fishing vessels flying their flags provided that points 4.1, 4.3, 5, 6 and 10 apply. Where Member States decide to authorise such a transfer, they shall notify the Commission, before the transfer takes place, of the details of the transfer, including the number of days to be transferred, the fishing effort and, where applicable, the fishing quotas relating thereto.

               (6)  To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the vessel owner applying for the fishing authorisation and a processing undertaking situated in the Department of French Guiana, and that it includes an obligation to land at least 75 % of all snapper catches from the vessel concerned in that department so that they may be processed in that undertaking’s plant. Such a contract must be endorsed by the French authorities, which shall ensure that it is consistent both with the actual capacity of the contracting processing undertaking and with the objectives for the development of the Guianese economy. A copy of the duly endorsed contract shall be appended to the fishing authorisation application. Where such an endorsement is refused, the French authorities shall give notification of this refusal and state their reasons for it to the party concerned and to the Commission.
