COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2019/1726
of 15 October 2019
operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2019 on account of overfishing in the previous years
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Union control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (1), and in particular Article 105(1), (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Fishing quotas for the year 2018 have been established by:
|
|
(2) |
Fishing quotas for the year 2019 have been established by:
|
|
(3) |
Pursuant to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State. |
|
(4) |
Article 105(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that such deductions have to be operated in the following year or years by applying the respective multiplying factors as set out therein. |
|
(5) |
Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2018. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2019 and, where relevant, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks. |
|
(6) |
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 (10) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/479 (11) have provided for deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2018. However, for certain Member States, the deductions to be applied for some species were higher than the respective quotas available in 2018 and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that in such cases the full amount for the respective stocks be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions for 2019 and, where appropriate, from subsequent quotas. |
|
(7) |
Following changes in the stock area definitions set up in Regulation (EU) 2019/124, the remaining deduction applicable to Belgium due to overfishing of undulate ray in Union waters of 7d (RJU/07D.) in the year 2017 should be applied to the 2019 quota for undulate ray in Union waters of 7d and 7e (RJU/7DE.). |
|
(8) |
Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2019 quotas pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 (12). |
|
(9) |
Since quotas are expressed in tonnes, overfishing involving quantities of less than one tonne should not be considered, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EU) 2018/1628, (EU) 2018/2025, (EU) 2018/2058, and (EU) 2019/124 for the year 2019 shall be reduced as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to deductions provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 15 October 2019.

(1) Quotas available to a Member State pursuant to the relevant fishing opportunities Regulations after taking into account exchanges of fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p. 22), quota transfers from 2017 to 2018 in accordance with Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (OJ L 115, 9.5.1996, p. 3) and with Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 or reallocation and deduction of fishing opportunities in accordance with Articles 37 and 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
(2) As set out in Article 105(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Deduction equal to the overfishing * 1,00 shall apply in all cases of overfishing equal to, or less than, 100 tonnes.
(3) As set out in Article 105(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and provided that the extent of overfishing exceeds 10 %.
(4) Letter ‘A’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Letter ‘C’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan.
(5) Remaining quantities from previous year(s).
(6) To be deducted from RJU/7DE. (Union waters of 7d and 7e).
(7) Quantities below 1 tonne are not considered.
(8) Additional multiplying factor not applicable because the overfishing does not exceed 10 % of the permitted landings.
(9) The deduction cannot be reduced by this unused quantity as Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 is not applicable to the YFT/IOTC stock.
