The TACs adopted in the framework of ICCAT for bluefin tuna, North and
South Atlantic swordfish, North and Sounth Atlantic albacore, bigeye tuna,
blue marlin and white marlin are allocated to the Contracting Parties,
Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities (CPCs) of
ICCAT and their Union's share is therefore determined.
The TACs adopted in the framework of ICCAT for Mediterranean swordfish,
yellowfin tuna and blue sharks are not allocated to the CPCs of ICCAT and
hence their Union's share is undetermined.

CHAPTER III
Number of days present within the area allocated to Union fishing vessels
5.
Maximum
number
of
days
5.1. During the current management period, the maximum number of days at
sea for which a Member State may authorise a vessel flying its flag to be
present within the area having carried on board any regulated gear is
shown in Table I.
5.2. If
a
vessel
is
able
to
demonstrate
that
its
hake
catches
represent
less
than
8 % of the total live weight of fish caught in a given fishing trip, the flag
Member State of the vessel shall be allowed not to count the days at sea
associated with that fishing trip against the applicable maximum number of
days at sea as set out in Table I.
6.
Special
conditions
for
the
allocation
of
days
6.1. For the purposes of fixing the maximum number of days at sea that a
Union fishing vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be
present within the area, the following special conditions shall apply in
accordance with Table I:
(a) the total landings of hake in each of the two calendar years 2013 and
2014 made by the vessel concerned shall represent less than 5 tonnes
according to the landings in live weight; and
(b) the total landings of Norway lobster in the years specified in point (a)
above 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 current
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.
6.3. When either of the special conditions is not met by a vessel, that vessel
shall, with immediate effect, no longer be entitled to the allocation of days
corresponding to the given special condition.
6.4. The
application
of
the
special
conditions
referred
to
in
point
6.1.
may
be
transferred from one vessel to one or more other vessels which replace that
vessel in the fleet, provided that the replacing vessel uses similar gear and
does not have in any year of its operation a record of landings of hake and
Norway lobster higher than the quantities specified in point 6.1.

Kilowatt
day
system
7.1. 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 and special conditions 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 and to the special
conditions is respected.
7.2. 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 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 elec
tronic 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 these 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.
7.4. On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the
conditions referred to in point 7 are complied with and, where applicable,
may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in
point 7.1.
8.
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.
( 1 ) Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund
(OJ L 223, 15.8.2006, p. 1).

02017R0127 — EN — 01.01.2017 — 000.001 — 134
▼B
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.
8.3. Points 8.1. and 8.2. shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in
accordance with point 3 or 6.4., or when the withdrawal has already been
used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.
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

Authorisations
4.
Authorised
vessels
4.1. A
Member
State
shall
not
authorise
fishing
with
regulated
gear
in
the
area
by any vessel flying its flag which has no record of such fishing activity in
the area in the period from 2002 to 2015, excluding the record of fishing
activities as a result of transfer of days between fishing vessels, unless it
ensures that equivalent capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from
fishing in the area.
4.2. However, a vessel with a track record of using a regulated gear may be
authorised to use a different fishing gear, provided that the number of days
allocated to this latter gear is greater than or equal to the number of days
allocated to the regulated gear.
4.3. A vessel flying the flag of a Member State having no quotas in the area
shall not be authorised to fish in the area with regulated gear, unless the
vessel is allocated a quota after a transfer as permitted in accordance with
Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and is allocated days at
sea in accordance with point 10 or 11 of this Annex.

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 gear. 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 6.1. were not applied.
02017R0127 — EN — 01.01.2017 — 000.001 —
141
▼B
6.3. 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 number (CFR) and their engine power;
(b) 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 6.1.
6.4. On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the
conditions referred to in point 6 are complied with and, where applicable,
may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to in
point 6.1.
7.
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 Regu
lation (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.
7.4. 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 42(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.

maximum number of days per Member State and gear shown in Table I
shall be adjusted accordingly for the current management period.
8.
Allocation
of
additional
days
for
enhanced
scientific
observer
coverage
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 2017 and 31 January 2018 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 42(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.

(ρ) of the krill product (ground krill paste) by measuring the mass
of a known volume of krill product (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the corresponding flow
meter
Every haul ( 2 )
Read both flow meters, and calculate the total volumes of the krill product (ground krill
paste) and that of the water added; density of the water is assumed to be 1 kg/litre
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Flow scale
Prior to fishing Ensure
that
the
flow
scale
is
measuring

Estimate the meal to whole krill conversion by processing 1 000 to 5 000 kg (drained
mass) of whole krill
Every haul Measure
the
mass
of
meal
produced
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Codend volume
At the start of fishing
Measure the width and height of the codend (precision ± 0,1 m)
Every month ( 1 )
Estimate the volume-to-mass conversion derived from the drained mass of krill in a
known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the codend

( 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.
