1.[F2Until the end of 2021 it is] prohibited for [F3United Kingdom] fishing vessels, as well as for any commercial fisheries from shore, to fish for European seabass in ICES divisions 4b and 4c, and in ICES subarea 7. [F4During that period it is] prohibited to retain, tranship, relocate or land European seabass caught in that area.
2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, [F5until the end of January 2021] and from [F61st April to the end of December 2021], [F7United Kingdom] fishing vessels in ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7d, 7e, 7f and 7h and in waters within 12 nautical miles from baselines under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom in ICES divisions 7a and 7g may fish for European seabass, and retain, tranship, relocate or land European seabass caught in that area with the following gear and within the following limits:
(a)using demersal trawls(1), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 520 kilogrammes per two months and 5 % of the weight of the total catches of marine organisms on board caught by that vessel per fishing trip;
(b)using seines(2), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 520 kilogrammes per two months and 5 % of the weight of the total catches of marine organisms on board caught by that vessel per fishing trip;
(c)using hooks and lines(3), not exceeding 5,7 tonnes per vessel per year;
(d)using fixed gillnets(4), for unavoidable by-catches not exceeding 1,4 tonnes per vessel per year.
The derogations set out in the first subparagraph F8... apply to [F7United Kingdom] fishing vessels that have recorded catches of European seabass over the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 September 2016: in point (c) with recorded catches using hooks and lines, and in point (d) with recorded catches using fixed gillnets. In the case of a replacement of a [F7United Kingdom] fishing vessel, [F9a fisheries administration] may allow the derogation to apply to another fishing vessel provided that the number of [F7United Kingdom] fishing vessels subject to the derogation and their overall fishing capacity do not increase.
3.The catch limits set out in paragraph 2 [F10are not] transferable between vessels and, where a monthly limit applies, from one month to another. For [F11United Kingdom] fishing vessels using more than one gear in a single calendar month, the lowest catch limit set out in paragraph 2 for either gear shall apply.
