Article 16Conditionality of Community financial assistance and reduction of fishing effort

1.Financial assistance under Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector(1), with the exception of funds for the scrapping of fishing vessels, can be granted only as far as a Member State has complied with Articles 11, 13 and 15 of this Regulation and has provided the information required under Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/99 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 366/2001(2).

In this context, the Commission shall, after having afforded the Member State concerned the possibility of being heard and as far as proportionate to the degree of non compliance, suspend financial assistance under Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 for the Member State concerned.

2.If, on the basis of the information available, the Commission deems that the capacity of the fleet of a Member State exceeds the capacity which it is bound to respect under Articles 11, 13 and 15, it shall inform the Member State concerned thereof. This Member State shall immediately reduce its fishing effort to the level which would have existed had Articles 11, 13 and 15 been complied with, without prejudice to the obligations resulting from these Articles. The Member State concerned shall communicate its reduction plan to the Commission for verification, in conformity with the procedure laid down in Article 30(2), whether or not the reduction is equivalent to the exceeded capacity.
