(b)

the total landings of Norway lobster in the year 2011 or 2012 made by the vessel concerned shall represent less than 2,5 tonnes according to the landings in live weight.

6.2. If a vessel benefits from an unlimited number of days as a result of its compliance with the special conditions, the vessel's landings in the 2014 management period shall not exceed 5 tonnes of the total landings in live weight of hake and 2,5 tonnes of the total landings in live weight of Norway lobster.
