Article 1 
1. This Regulation fixes for 2003 and 2004, for stocks of deep-sea species, fishing opportunities applicable each year to vessels flying the flag and registered in Member States, hereinafter referred to as "Community vessels", in zones where catch limitations are required, and the specific conditions under which these fishing opportunities may be utilised. These fishing opportunities may be revised annually in light of new scientific advice. 2. For the purposes of this Regulation, fishing opportunities shall take the form of Total Allowable Catches (TACs) available to the Community and allocated to Member States. Article 2 The definitions of ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) zones are those given, respectively, in Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December 1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the north-east Atlantic(7), and Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/95 of 23 October 1995 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in certain areas other than those of the North Atlantic(8). Article 3 Fishing opportunities of stocks of deep-sea species for Community vessels in Community waters or in international waters are hereby fixed as set out in Annex I. Article 4 The allocation of fishing opportunities among Member States shall be without prejudice to: (a) exchanges made pursuant to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92; (b) reallocations made pursuant to Articles 21(4), 23(1) and 32(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93; (c) additional landings allowed under Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96; (d) quantities withheld in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96; (e) deductions made pursuant to Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96. Article 5 The stocks which are subject to a precautionary or to an analytical TAC, the stocks to which the year-to-year flexibility conditions stipulated in Articles 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 shall not apply and the stocks to which the penalty coefficients provided for in Article 5(2) of the same Regulation shall apply are fixed for 2002 in Annex II to this Regulation. Article 6 1. Fish from stocks for which fishing opportunities are fixed shall not be retained on board or landed unless: (a) the catches have been taken by vessels of a Member State having a quota and that quota is not exhausted; or (b) catches are taken during the course of scientific investigations carried out under Regulation (EC) No 850/98. All landings shall count against the quota except for catches made under the provisions of point (b). 2. Catches taken under a by-catch quota will not be taken into account in the calculation of the percentage of target species as referred to in Article 5 of Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98. Article 7 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 16 December 2002. For the Council The President M.
