COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2287/2003
of 19 December 2003
fixing for 2004 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of 2003 (1), in particular Article 24, Annexes VI, VIII, IX and XII thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy (2), and in particular Article 20 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 66/98 of 18 December 1997 laying down certain conservation and control measures applicable to fishing activities in the Antarctic (3), and in particular Article 21 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal of the Commission,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 requires the Council to adopt the measures necessary to ensure access to waters and resources and the sustainable pursuit of fishing activities taking into account available scientific advice and, in particular, the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries. |
|
(2) |
Under Article 20 of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, it is incumbent upon the Council, to establish the total allowable catches (TAC) by fishery or group of fisheries. Fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States and third countries in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 20 of that Regulation. |
|
(3) |
In order to ensure effective management of the TACs and quotas, the specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be established. |
|
(4) |
It is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of fishery management at Community level, so that Member States can ensure the management of the vessels flying their flag. |
|
(5) |
In accordance with Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (4), it is necessary to identify the stocks which are subject to the various measures fixed therein. |
|
(6) |
In accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements or protocols on fisheries relations, the Community has held consultations on fishing rights with Norway (5), the Faroe Islands (6), Greenland (7), Iceland (8), Latvia (9), Lithuania (10) and Estonia (11). |
|
(7) |
Pursuant to Article 124 of the 1994 Act of Accession, fisheries agreements concluded by Sweden and Finland with third countries are managed by the Community. In accordance with these agreements, the Community has held consultations with Poland. |
|
(8) |
Pursuant to the 2003 Act of Accession, provisions on fishing opportunities for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland are to be in accordance with the Accession Treaty from the date of accession. However, the same basis for allocation of fishing opportunities should be applied from 1 January 2004 until the date of accession. |
|
(9) |
The Community is a Contracting Party to several regional fisheries organisations. These fisheries organisations have recommended the setting of catch limitations and other conservation rules for certain species. These recommendations should therefore be implemented by the Community. |
|
(10) |
At its Annual Meeting, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has adopted tables indicating the under-utilisation and over-utilisation of the ICCAT contracting parties fishing possibilities. In this context, ICCAT has adopted a decision observing that during the year 2002, the European Community had underexploited its quota for several stocks. |
|
(11) |
In order to respect the adjustments to the Community quotas established by ICCAT, it is necessary for the distribution of the under-utilisation to be carried out on the basis of the respective contribution of each Member State towards the under-utilisation without modifying the distribution key established in this Regulation concerning the annual allocation of TACs. |
|
(12) |
The execution of fishing opportunities should be in accordance with the Community legislation on the matter, and in particular with Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1381/87 of 20 May 1987 establishing detailed rules concerning the marking and documentation of fishing vessels (12), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 of 22 September 1983 laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States' catches of fish (13), Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (14), Council Regulation (EC) No 1626/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean (15), Council Regulation (EC) No 1627/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down general provisions concerning special fishing permits (16), Regulation (EC) No 66/98, Council Regulation (EC) No 88/98 of 18 December 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the waters of the Baltic Sea, the Belts and the Sound (17), Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 of 30 March 1998 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms (18) and, Council Regulation (EC) No 1434/98 of 29 June 1998 specifying conditions under which herring may be landed for purposes other than direct human consumption (19). |
|
(13) |
In order to contribute to the conservation of fish stocks, certain complementary measures on control and technical conditions of fishing should be implemented in 2004. |
|
(14) |
It is necessary to adopt Community provisions concerning fishing in the Gulf of Riga in accordance with the guidelines established in the 2003 Act of Accession. It is appropriate to introduce an obligation to hold special fishing permits in order to have access to these waters. |
|
(15) |
The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) adopted, at its meeting in October 2003, a special closure of fisheries for the purse seine fleet, along with technical measures regarding the retention of all catches, by-catch provisions and provisions relating to sea turtles. Although the Community is not a member of this organisation, it is necessary to implement those catch limitations to ensure sustainable management of this fish resource. |
|
(16) |
TACs for stocks for which recovery plans can already be implemented in 2004 should correspond to the recovery strategies laid down in these plans. For stocks where such recovery plans cannot be implemented in 2004, a more restrictive short-term management should apply. |
|
(17) |
Pending the adoption of recovery plans and the implementation of the effort management schemes included therein, it is necessary to apply provisional effort management schemes at least for the most endangered stocks, those for which the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) recommends a zero TAC in 2004. |
|
(18) |
It is necessary, following the advice from ICES, to apply a temporary system to manage the fishing effort of the industrial fishery for sandeel in ICES sub-area IV (Skagerrak and the North Sea). |
|
(19) |
At its 25th Annual Meeting of 15 to 19 September 2003, Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) adopted a rebuilding plan for Greenland halibut in NAFO Sub-area 2 and divisions 3KLMNO. The plan foresees a reduction of the TAC level until 2007 as well as additional measures to ensure its effectiveness. It is therefore necessary to implement these measures already from 2004 pending the adoption of a Council Regulation implementing multiannual measures to rebuild the Greenland halibut stock. |
|
(20) |
In order to comply with international obligations undertaken by the Community as a Contracting Party to the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), including the obligation to apply the measures adopted by the CCAMLR Commission, the TACs adopted by the latter for the 2003-2004 season and the corresponding season limit dates should be applied. |
|
(21) |
At its XXII Annual meeting in 2003, CCAMLR approved the participation of EC-flagged vessels in exploratory fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in Sub-areas FAO 88.1 and FAO 48.6, and made the relevant fishing activities subject to catch and by-catch limits, as well as to certain specific technical measures. Those limits and technical measures should also be applied. |
|
(22) |
In order to ensure the livelihood of Community fishermen, it is important to open these fisheries on 1 January 2004. Given the urgency of the matter, it is imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period mentioned in paragraph I(3) of the Protocol on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaties establishing the European Communities, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

SECTION 2
Technical measures
Article 26
Mesh sizes
The use of trawl net having in any section thereof net meshes of dimensions less than 130 mm shall be prohibited for direct fishing of the species referred to in Annex X. This mesh size may be reduced to a minimum of 60 mm for direct fishing of short-finned squid (Illex illecebrosus). For direct fishing of skates (Rajidae) this mesh size shall be increased to a minimum of 280 mm in the cod-end and 220 mm in all other parts of the trawl.
Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use nets with a minimum mesh size of 40 mm.
Article 27
Attachments to nets
1. The use of any means or device other than those described in this Article which obstructs the meshes of a net or which diminishes their size shall be prohibited.
2. Canvas, netting or any other material may be attached to the underside of the cod-end in order to reduce or prevent damage.
3. Devices may be attached to the upper side of the cod-end provided that they do not obstruct the meshes of the cod-end. The use of top-side chafers shall be limited to those listed in Annex XI.
4. Vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis) shall use sorting grids or grates with a maximum spacing between bars of 22 mm. Vessels fishing for shrimp in Division 3L shall also be equipped with toggle chains of a minimum of 72 cm in length.
Article 28
By-catches
1. Masters of vessels may not conduct directed fisheries for species for which by-catch limits apply. A directed fishery for a species is conducted when that species comprises the largest percentage by weight of the catch in any one haul.
2. By-catches of the species listed in Annex ID for which no quotas have been fixed by the Community for a part of the NAFO Regulatory Area and taken in that part when fishing directly for any species may not exceed for each species 2 500 kg or 10 % by weight of the total catch retained on board, whichever is the greater. However, in a part of the Regulatory Area where directed fishing of certain species is banned, by-catches of each of the species listed in Annex ID shall not exceed 1 250 kg or 5 % respectively.
3. Whenever the total amounts of species for which by-catch limits apply in any haul exceed the limits laid down in paragraph 2, whichever is applicable, vessels shall immediately move a minimum of five nautical miles from the previous haul position. Whenever the total amounts of species for which by-catch limits apply in any subsequent haul exceed the said limits, vessels shall again immediately move a minimum of five nautical miles from the previous haul position and shall not return to the area for at least 48 hours.
4. For vessels fishing for shrimp (Pandalus borealis), in the event that total by-catches of all species listed in Annex ID in any haul exceed 5 % by weight in Division 3M and 2,5 % in Division 3L, vessels shall immediately move a minimum of five nautical miles from the position of the previous haul.
Catches of shrimp shall not be used in the calculation of by-catch level of groundfish species.
Article 29
Minimum size of fish
Fish from the NAFO Regulatory Area which do not have the size required as set out in Annex XII may not be processed, retained on board, trans-shipped, landed, transported, stored, sold, displayed or offered for sale, but shall be returned immediately to the sea. Where the quantity of caught fish not having the required size exceeds 10 % of the total quantity, the vessel shall move away to a distance of at least five nautical miles from any position of the previous haul before continuing fishing. Any processed fish for which minimum fish size requirements apply which is below a length equivalent in Annex XII, shall be deemed to originate from fish that is below the minimum fish size.
SECTION 3

|
(a) |
nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or trawling cables and ropes; and |
|
(b) |
nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of the superstructure. |
Article 32
Trans-shipment
Community vessels shall not engage in trans-shipment operations in the NAFO Regulatory Area unless they have received prior authorisation to do so from their competent authorities.
Article 33
Monitoring of fishing effort
1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the fishing effort of its vessels referred to in Article 25 be commensurate to the fishing possibilities available to that Member State in the NAFO Regulatory Area.

|
(1) OJ L 145, 13.6.1977, p. 1. Directive as last amended by Directive 2003/92/EC (OJ L 260, 11.10.2003, p. 8).
Appendix 1 to Annex IV
Specifications of top window codend ‘BACOMA’
Specification of 110 mm, measured as inner diameter opening, square mesh window in a codend with a 105 mm or larger mesh size in trawls, Danish seines or similar towed nets.
The window shall be a rectangular section of netting in the codend. There shall be only one window. The window shall not be obstructed in any way by either internal or external attachments.
Size of the codend, extension piece and the rear end of the trawl
The codend shall be constructed of two panels of equal size, joined together by selvedges one on each side.
The carrying on board of a net having more than 100 open diamond meshes in any circumference of the codend, excluding the joining or the selvedges shall be prohibited.
The number of open diamond meshes, excluding those in the selvedges, at any point on any circumference of any extension or lengthening piece shall not be less or more than the maximum number of meshes on the circumference of the front end of the codend stricto sensu and the rear end of the tapered section of the trawl excluding meshes in the selvedges (Figure 1).
Location of the window
The window shall be inserted into the top panel of the codend. The window shall terminate not more than 4 meshes from the codline, inclusive of the hand braided row of meshes through which the codline is passed (Figure 2).
Size of the window
The width of the window, expressed in number of mesh bars, shall be equal to the number of open diamond meshes in the top panel divided by two. If necessary, it will be allowed to maintain at the most 20 % of the number of open diamond meshes in the top panel divided evenly on the both sides of the window panel (Figure 3).
Length of the window shall be at least 3,5 metres.
The netting of the window
The meshes shall have a minimum mesh opening of 110 millimetres. The meshes shall be square meshes i.e. all four sides of the window netting will be cut all bars. The netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and perpendicular to the length of the codend. The netting shall be knotless braided single twine or a netting with similar proven selective properties. The diameter of the single yarn shall be at least 4,9 millimetres.
Other specification
The mounting specifications are defined in Figures 4a, 4b and 4c. The length of the lifting strap shall not be less than 4 m.
Trawl gear can be divided into three different sections according to shape and function. The trawl body is always a tapered section often between 10 and 40 m long. The extension piece is an untapered section normally manufactured of either one or two pieces of 49,5 mesh long nets giving a stretched length between 6 or 12 m. The codend is also an untapered section often made of double twine in order to have a better resistance against heavy wearing. The codend length is often 49,5 meshes i.e. circa6 metres although shorter codends (2-4) exists in smaller vessels. The part below the lifting strap is called a lifting bag.
The distance of the window panel from the codline is 4 meshes. There are 3,5 diamond meshes in the upper panel and one 0,5 mesh deep hand-braided ‘codline’row.
Twenty percent of diamond meshes in the upper panel along a perpendicular row running from one selvedge to another may be maintained. For example (as in Figure 3) if the upper panel were 30 open meshes wide, 20 % of that would be 6 meshes. Then three open meshes are divided on both sides of the window panel. Consequently the width of the window panel then becomes 12 mesh bars (30 − 6 = 24 diamond meshes divided by two is 12 mesh bars).
Showing the construction of lower panel made of 49,5 meshes deep netting
The construction of upper panel, size and position of the window panel in case when the escape panel runs from selvedge to selvedge
The construction of upper panel in case 20 % of diamond meshes in the upper panel are maintained and equally divided on both sides of the window.

ANNEX XI
AUTHORISED TOPSIDE CHAFERS
1. ICNAF-type topside chafer
The ICNAF-type topside chafer is a rectangular piece of netting to be attached to the upper side of the codend of the trawl net to reduce and prevent damage so long as such netting conforms to the following conditions:
|
(a) |
this netting shall have a mesh size not less than that specified for the codend in Article 10; |
|
(b) |
this netting may be fastened to the codend only along the forward and lateral edges of the netting and at no other place in it, and shall be fastened in such a manner that it extends forward of the splitting strap no more than four meshes and ends not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh; where a splitting strap is not used, the netting shall not extend to more than one-third of the codend measured from not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh; |
|
(c) |
the width of this netting shall be at least one and a half times the width of the area of the codend which is covered, such widths to be measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend. |
2. Multiple flap-type topside chafer
The multiple flap-type topside chafer is defined as pieces of netting having in all their parts meshes the size of which, whether the pieces of netting are wet or dry, is not less than that of the codend, provided that:
|
(i) |
each piece of netting:
|
|
(ii) |
the aggregate length of all the pieces of netting so attached does not exceed two-thirds of the length of the codend. |
POLISH CHAFER
3. Large-mesh (modified Polish-type) topside chafer
The large-mesh topside chafer consists of a rectangular piece of netting made of the same twine material as the codend, or of a single, thick, knotless twine material, attached to the rear portion of the upper side of the codend and extending over all or any part of the upper side of the codend and having in all its parts a mesh size twice that of the codend when measured wet and fastened to the codend along the forward, lateral and rear edges only of the netting in such a way that each mesh of the netting coincides with four meshes of the codend.
