2. Union fishing vessels shall be authorised to make catches, within the TACs set out in Annex I to this Regulation, in waters falling within the fisheries jurisdiction of the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Norway, and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen, subject to the condition set out in Article 15 of, and Annex III to, this Regulation and in Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008 ( 13 ) and its implementing provisions.

1. The TACs for certain fish stocks shall be determined by the Member State concerned. Those stocks are identified in Annex I.
2. The TACs to be determined by a Member State shall:
be consistent with the principles and rules of the CFP, in particular the principle of sustainable exploitation of the stock; and
result:
if analytical assessments are available, in the exploitation of the stock consistent with maximum sustainable yield from 2018 onwards, with as high a probability as possible; or
if analytical assessments are unavailable or incomplete, in the exploitation of the stock consistent with the precautionary approach to fisheries management.
3. By 15 March 2018, each Member State concerned shall submit the following information to the Commission:
the TACs adopted;
the data collected and assessed by the Member State concerned on which the TACs adopted are based;
details on how the TACs adopted comply with paragraph 2.
Article 7
Conditions for landing catches and by-catches
1. Catches that are not subject to the landing obligation established in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 shall be retained on board or landed only if they:
have been taken by vessels flying the flag of a Member State having a quota and that quota has not been exhausted; or
consist of a share in a Union quota which has not been allocated by quota among Member States, and that Union quota has not been exhausted.
2.
