Editorial Information

X1 Substituted by Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EU) No 44/2012 of 17 January 2012 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreements (Official Journal of the European Union L 25 of 27 January 2012).

X2 Substituted by Corrigendum to Council Regulation (EU) No 692/2012 of 24 July 2012 amending Regulations (EU) No 43/2012 and (EU) No 44/2012 as regards the protection of the giant manta ray and certain fishing opportunities (Official Journal of the European Union L 203 of 31 July 2012).

Textual Amendments

F2 Inserted by Council Regulation (EU) No 692/2012 of 24 July 2012 amending Regulations (EU) No 43/2012 and (EU) No 44/2012 as regards the protection of the giant manta ray and certain fishing opportunities.

F3 Substituted by Council Regulation (EU) No 1040/2012 of 7 November 2012 amending Regulation (EC) No 754/2009 as regards exclusion of certain groups of vessels from the fishing effort regime laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and amending Regulations (EU) No 43/2012 and (EU) No 44/2012 as regards certain fishing opportunities.

F4 Substituted by Council Regulation (EU) No 297/2013 of 27 March 2013 amending Regulations (EU) No 44/2012, (EU) No 39/2013 and (EU) No 40/2013 as regards certain fishing opportunities.

ANNEX IIA

Fishing effort for vessels in the context of the management of certain cod, plaice and sole stocks in the Skagerrak, that part of ICES division IIIa not covered by the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, ICES subarea IV, EU waters of ICES division IIa and ICES division VIId U.K.

1. Scope U.K.

1.1. This Annex shall apply to EU vessels carrying on board or deploying any of the gears specified in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and present in any of the geographical areas specified in point 2 of that Annex. U.K.

1.2. This Annex shall not apply to vessels of less than 10 metres' length overall. Those vessels shall not be required to carry fishing authorisations issued in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Member States concerned shall assess the fishing effort of those vessels by effort groups to which they belong, using appropriate sampling methods. During 2012, the Commission shall seek scientific advice for evaluating the effort deployment of those vessels, with a view to their future inclusion into the effort regime. U.K.

2. Regulated gears and geographical areas U.K.

For the purposes of this Annex, the gear groupings specified in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 (‘regulated gear’) and the groupings of geographical areas referred to in point 2(b) of that Annex shall apply.

3. Authorisations U.K.

If a Member State deems so appropriate in order to reinforce the sustainable implementation of this effort regime, it may introduce a prohibition to fish with a regulated gear in any of the geographical areas to which this Annex applies by any of vessels flying its flag which has no record of such fishing activity, unless it ensures that equivalent capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from fishing in that area.

4. Maximum allowable fishing effort U.K.

4.1. The maximum allowable effort referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007 for the 2012 management period, from 1 February 2012 to 31 January 2013, for each of the effort groups of each Member State is set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex. U.K.

4.2. The maximum levels of annual fishing effort set in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1954/2003(1) shall not affect the maximum allowable fishing effort set in this Annex. U.K.

5. Management U.K.

5.1. Member States shall manage the maximum allowable effort in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007, Article 4 and Articles 13 to 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and Articles 26 to 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. U.K.

5.2. A Member State may establish management periods for allocating all or parts of the maximum allowable effort to individual vessels or groups of vessels. In such case, the number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed at the discretion of the Member State concerned. During any such management periods, the Member State may reallocate effort between individual vessels or groups of vessels. U.K.

5.3. If a Member State authorises vessels to be present within an area by hours, it shall continue measuring the consumption of days in accordance with the conditions referred to in point 5.1. Upon request by the Commission, the Member State shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of effort within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period. U.K.

6. Fishing effort report U.K.

Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 shall apply to vessels falling under the scope of this Annex. The geographical area referred to in that Article shall be understood, for the purpose of cod management, as each of the geographical areas referred to in point 2 of this Annex.

7. Communication of relevant data U.K.

Member States shall transmit to the Commission the data on fishing effort deployed by their fishing vessels in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Those data shall be transmitted via the Fisheries Data Exchange System or any future data collection system implemented by the Commission.

ANNEX VIII

QUANTITATIVE LIMITATIONS OF FISHING AUTHORISATIONS FOR THIRD-COUNTRY VESSELS FISHING IN EU WATERS

a To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the ship owner applying for the fishing authorisation and a processing undertaking situated in the Department of French Guiana, and that it includes an obligation to land at least 75 % of all snapper catches from the vessel concerned in that department so that they may be processed in that undertaking's plant. Such a contract must be endorsed by the French authorities, which shall ensure that it is consistent both with the actual capacity of the contracting processing undertaking and with the objectives for the development of the Guianese economy. A copy of the duly endorsed contract shall be appended to the fishing authorisation application. Where such an endorsement is refused, the French authorities shall give notification of this refusal and state their reasons for it to the party concerned and to the Commission.
