                                 —
                              
                              
                                 Council Regulation (EU) 2020/123 (8).
                              
                           
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     Pursuant to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     Article 105(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that such deductions have to be operated in the following year or years by applying the respective multiplying factors as set out therein.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2019. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2020 and, where relevant, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1726 (9) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/112 (10) have set out deductions from fishing quotas for certain Member States and species for 2019. However, for certain Member States, the deductions to be applied for some species were higher than the respective quotas available in 2019 and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that in such cases the full amount for the respective stocks be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions for 2020 and, where appropriate, from subsequent quotas.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2020 quotas pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 (11).
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     Since quotas are expressed in tonnes, overfishing involving quantities of less than one tonne should not be considered,
                  
               HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
         
            Article 1

               2.   Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to deductions provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013.
            
         
         
            Article 2
            This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
