COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 847/96

of 6 May 1996

introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas



Article 1

1.  
Precautionary TACs shall apply to stocks for which no scientifically-based evaluation of fishing possibilities is available specifically for the year in which the TACs are to be set; analytical TACs shall apply otherwise.
2.  

For the purpose of this Regulation, permitted landings from a stock shall consist, for a given Member State, of the quota allocated by the Council on the basis of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, as modified by:

— 
the exchanges made on the basis of Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92,
— 
the compensation envisaged by Article 21 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93,
— 
the quantities withheld on the basis of Article 4 (2) of this Regulation, and
— 
the deductions envisaged by Article 5 of this Regulation.

Article 2

When fixing TACs in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, the Council shall decide:

— 
which stocks are subject to a precautionary TAC and which stocks are subject to an analytical TAC, on the basis of scientific advice available on the stocks,
— 
the stocks to which Articles 3 or 4 shall not apply, on the basis of the biological status of the stocks and of commitments reached with third countries,
— 
the stocks to which the deductions envisaged in Article 5 (2) shall apply, on the basis of their biological status.

Article 3

1.  
When more than 75 % of a precautionary TAC has been utilized before 31 October of the year of its application, a Member State with a quota for the stock for which that TAC has been fixed may request an increase in the TAC. Such a request, accompanied by relevant supporting biological information and an indication of the magnitude of the revision, shall be addressed to the Commission. The Commission, within 20 working days, shall examine all the elements of the request with a view to presenting to the Council a proposal for an amendment of the Regulation fixing TACs and quotas if it is found justified. The Member State shall be informed of the results of the examination.
2.  
Member States may take catches up to 5 % in excess of permitted landings. However, these catches shall be considered as exceeding permitted landings as regards the deductions envisaged in Article 5.
3.  
When more than 75 % of a quota for a stock subject to a precautionary TAC has been utilized before 31 October of the year of its application, the Member State to which such a quota has been allocated may request the Commission's permission to land additional quantities of fish of the same stock indicating the additional quantity required, this quantity not to exceed 10 % of the appropriate quota. The Commission shall decide on such requests within 20 workings days in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93. The additional quantity granted under this procedure shall be considered as exceeding permitted landings for the purposes of the deductions envisaged in Article 5 of this Regulation.

Article 4

1.  
Article 3 (2) and (3) shall apply to stocks subject to an analytical TAC.
2.  
For stocks subject to analytical TAC, except those referred to in Article 5 (2), a Member State to which a relevant quota has been allocated may ask the Commission, before 31 October of the year of application of the quota, to withhold a maximum of 10 % of its quota to be transferred to the following year.

The Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, shall add to the relevant quota the quantity withheld.
