In line with the objective set out in point (b) of Article 7(1), producer organisations shall ensure, in the production and marketing plans which they submit pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article, that the landing of marine organisms below the minimum conservation reference size does not lead to the development of activities aimed specifically at the catching of those marine organisms.
When carrying out the checks required by paragraph 7 of this Article, F8a fisheries administration must ensure that producer organisations fulfil the obligation set out in the first subparagraph of this paragraph.
