1.For certain stocks, a Member State may grant an additional allocation to vessels flying its flag and participating in trials on fully documented fisheries. Those stocks are identified in Annex I.
2.The additional allocation referred to in paragraph 1 shall not exceed the overall limit set out in Annex I as a percentage of the quota allocated to that Member State.
1.The additional allocation referred to in Article 14 shall comply with the following conditions:
(a)the vessel makes use of close circuit television cameras (CCTV) associated to a system of sensors (jointly referred to as "the CCTV system") to record all on board fishing and processing activities;
(b)the additional allocation granted to an individual vessel that participates in trials on fully documented fisheries shall not exceed any of the following limits:
75 % of the discards of the stock, as estimated by the relevant Member State, produced by the type of vessel to which the individual vessel that has been granted the additional allocation belongs.

(c)all catches by the vessel from the stock subject to the additional allocation, including fish that are under minimum landing size as defined in Annex XII of Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98(3), shall be counted against the individual allocation of the vessel, as resulting from any additional allocation granted under Article 14.
(d)once the individual allocation for any stock subject to the additional allocation has been fully utilised by a vessel, the vessel in question must cease all fishing activity in the relevant TAC area.
(e)in respect of the stocks for which this Article may be used, the Member States may allow transfers of the individual allocation or any part thereof from vessels not participating in trials on fully documented fisheries to vessels participating in those trials provided that it can be demonstrated that discards by the non-participating vessels do not increase.
2.Notwithstanding paragraph 1(b)(i), a Member State may exceptionally grant to a vessel flying its flag an additional allocation exceeding 75 % of the estimated discards of the stock produced by the type of vessel to which the individual vessel that has been granted the additional allocation belongs, provided that:
(a)the rate of stock discards, as estimated for the relevant type of vessel, is less than 10 %;
(b)the inclusion of that type of vessel is important to evaluate the potential of the CCTV system for control purposes;
(c)an overall limit of 75 % of the estimated stock discards produced by all vessels participating in the trials is not exceeded.
3.Prior to granting the additional allocation referred to in Article 14, a Member State shall submit the following information to the Commission:
(a)the list of vessels flying its flag and participating in trials on fully documented fisheries;
(b)the specifications of the remote electronic monitoring equipment installed on board those vessels;

To the extent that the recordings obtained in accordance with Article 15(1)(a) involve the processing of personal data within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC, that Directive shall apply to the processing of such data.
Where a Member State detects that a vessel participating in trials on fully documented fisheries fails to comply with the conditions set out in Article 15, it shall immediately withdraw the additional allocation granted to that vessel and exclude it from participation in those trials for the remainder of the year 2014.
The Commission may request any Member State that avails itself of this Chapter to submit its assessment of the discards produced per type of vessel to a scientific advisory body for review, in order to monitor the implementation of the requirement set out in Article 15(1)(b)(i). In the absence of an assessment confirming such discards, the Member State concerned shall take any appropriate measure to ensure compliance with that requirement and shall inform the Commission thereof.
1. This Article shall apply to the following stocks:

2. For any of the stocks identified in paragraph 1, a Member State may opt to increase its initial set in Annex I quota by up to 10 %. The Member State concerned shall notify its decision to the Commission in writing. Upon such notification, the increased quota shall be considered as the quota allocated to that Member State for 2014.
3. Any quantities used in 2014 under such increased quota, that exceed the initial quota, shall be deducted on a tonne-for-tonne basis for the purpose of calculating the quota of the Member State concerned for the relevant stock for 2015.
4. Any quantities not used under the initial quota up to 10 % of that quota shall be added for the purpose of calculating the quota of the Member State concerned for the relevant stock for 2015.
5.
