Article 2 1. The maximum number of long-liners referred to in Article 1 shall be 10; no vessel may exceed 500 GRT. 2.

Article 3 1. The catch of bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus thynnus) of a unitary weight of less than 6,4 kilograms shall be prohibited. 2.

The programme shall be submitted to the Commission before 28 February 1990. Article 6 1. An application for licences shall be submitted by the Japanese authorities no later than 15 working days before the desired date of commencement of validity. The Commission shall issue the licences to the Japanese authorities and shall notify the competent supervisory authorities thereof. 2. The issue of licences to Japanese vessels shall be subject to an undertaking by the owner of the vessel to permit an observer to come on board at the Commission's request. 3. Unused licences may be cancelled with a view to the issuing of new licences. Cancellation shall take effect on the date the new licence is issued by the Commission. New licences shall be issued in accordance with paragraph 1.

Article 9 1. A vessel which has failed to comply with the obligations laid down in this Regulation shall have its licence withdrawn; such licence shall not be replaced. 2. If a vessel fishing without a valid licence in the waters referred to in Article 1 is owned or managed by a natural or legal person owning or managing one or more other vessels to which licences have been issued one of those licences may be withdrawn. Article 10 If, for a period of one month, the Commission receives no communication as laid down in Article 4 (2) for a vessel in possession of a licence referred to in that Article, the licence of that vessel shall be withdrawn. Article 11 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
