This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts
allocated to the vessels flying the flag of that Member State and qualified for the regulated
gear and, where applicable, the special conditions. Such individual fishing efforts shall be
calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number
of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if point 7.1. were not applied.
For as long as the number of days is unlimited according to Table I, the relevant number of
days the vessel would benefit from is 360.
7.3.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 7.1. shall submit a
request to the Commission, for the regulated gear and special conditions as laid down in
Table I, with reports in electronic format containing the details of the calculation based on:
(a) the list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register
number (CFR) and their engine power;
(b) the track record of the years specified in point 6.1.(a) for such vessels reflecting the
catch composition defined in the special condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b),
if those vessels are qualified for such special conditions;
(c) the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised
to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea which each vessel would
benefit from in application of point 7.1.

ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR PERMANENT CESSATION OF
FISHING ACTIVITIES
8.1.
An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag
Member State to be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may
be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of
fishing activities that have taken place during the preceding management period, either in
accordance with Article 23 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006
1 or Council
Regulation (EC) No 744/2008
2. Permanent cessations resulting from any other
circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a
written and duly motivated request from the Member State concerned. Such written request
shall identify the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never
return to fishing activities.
8.2.
The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the
regulated gear shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear
during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying
the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to
Table I. Any part of a day resulting from that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest
whole day.

8.4.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1. shall
submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June of the current management period, with
reports in electronic format containing, for the gear grouping and special conditions as laid
down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:
(a) lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and
their engine power;
(b) the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea
according to the grouping of fishing gears and, if necessary, special conditions.
8.5.
On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of
implementing acts, allocate that Member State a number of days additional to that referred
to in point 5.1. for that Member State. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in
accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 49(2).
8.6.
During the current management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional
days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the regulated
gears. Additional days stemming from a withdrawn vessel that benefited from a special
condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b) may not be allocated to a vessel remaining
active that does not benefit from a special condition.

ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR ENHANCED SCIENTIFIC
OBSERVER COVERAGE
9.1.
Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying on
board any regulated gear may be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the
basis of an enhanced programme of scientific observer coverage in partnership between
scientists and the fishing industry. Such a programme shall focus in particular on levels of
discarding and on catch composition and shall go beyond the requirements on data
collection, as laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008

KILOWATT DAY SYSTEM
6.1.
During the current management period, a Member State may manage its fishing effort
allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. Through that system it may
authorise any vessel concerned by any regulated gear as set out in Table I to be present
within the area for a maximum number of days which is different from that set out in that
Table, provided that the overall amount of kilowatt days corresponding to the regulated
gear is respected.
6.2.
This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts
allocated to the vessels flying the flag of that Member State and qualified for the regulated

A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1. shall submit a
request to the Commission, for the regulated gear as laid down in Table I, with reports in
electronic format containing the details of the calculation based on:
(a) the list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register

ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR PERMANENT CESSATION OF
FISHING ACTIVITIES
7.1.
An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag
Member State to be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may
be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of
fishing activities that have taken place during the preceding management period either in
accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 or with Regulation (EC)
No 744/2008. Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be
considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly
motivated request from the Member State concerned. Such written request shall identify
the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never return to
fishing activities.
7.2.
The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using a
given gear grouping shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear
grouping during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by
multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated
according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from that calculation shall be rounded to
the nearest whole day.
7.3.
Points 7.1.and 7.2. shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with
point 4.2., or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain
additional days at sea.

A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 7.1. shall
submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June of the current management period, with
reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping as laid down in Table I, the
details of the calculation based on:
(a) lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and
their engine power;
(b) the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea
according to the grouping of fishing gears.
7.5.
On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of
implementing acts, allocate that Member State a number of days additional to that referred
to in point 5 for that Member State. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in
accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 49(2).
7.6.
During the current management period, a Member State may re-allocate those additional
days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the
regulated gears.
7.7.
When the Commission allocates additional days at sea due to a permanent cessation of
fishing activities during the preceding management period the maximum number of days
per Member State and gear shown in Table I shall be adjusted accordingly for the current
management period.

8.1.
Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying on
board any regulated gear may be allocated between 1 February 2018 and 31 January 2019
to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of an enhanced programme of scientific
observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry. Such a
programme shall focus in particular on levels of discarding and on catch composition and
go beyond the requirements on data collection, as laid down in Regulation (EC)
No 199/2008 and its implementing rules for national programmes.
8.2.
Scientific observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel
and any crew member.
8.3.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1. shall
submit a description of its enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the
Commission for approval.
8.4.
On the basis of that description, and after consultation with STECF, the Commission may,
by means of implementing acts, allocate the Member State concerned a number of days
additional to that referred to in point 5 for that Member State and for the vessels, the area
and gear concerned by the enhanced programme of scientific observers. Those
implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred
to in Article 49(2).
8.5.
If an enhanced scientific observer coverage programme submitted by a Member State has
been approved by the Commission in the past and the Member State concerned wishes to
continue its application without changes, it shall inform the Commission of the
continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which
the programme applies.

A Member State may permit any fishing vessel flying its flag to transfer days present
within the area for which it has been authorised to another vessel flying its flag within the
area, provided that the product of the days received by a vessel multiplied by its engine
power in kilowatts (kilowatt days) is equal to or less than the product of the days
transferred by the donor vessel and the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel. The engine
power in kilowatts of the vessels shall be that recorded for each vessel in the Union fishing
fleet register.
11.2.
The total number of days present within the area transferred in accordance with point 11.1.,
multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of the donor vessel, shall not be higher than
the donor vessel’s average annual days track record in the area as verified by the fishing
logbook in the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 multiplied by the engine power in
kilowatts of that vessel.
11.3.
The transfer of days as described in point 11.1. shall be permitted between vessels
operating with any regulated gear and during the same management period.

(1) 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.
