COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1392/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a discard plan for certain small pelagic fisheries in the Mediterranean Sea
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. |
(2) |
Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than three years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States in consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils. |
(3) |
Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Malta and Slovenia have a direct fisheries management interest in the Mediterranean Sea. Those Member States have submitted joint recommendations (2) to the Commission after consultation of the Mediterranean Sea Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. In line with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 only those measures in the joint recommendations which comply with Article 15(6) of that Regulation should be included in this Regulation. |
(4) |
As regards the Mediterranean Sea, Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 establishes a landing obligation for all catches of species which are subject to catch limits and also for catches of species which are subject to minimum sizes as defined in Annex III to Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 (3). According to Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation should apply in small pelagic fisheries, large pelagic fisheries and fisheries for industrial purposes at the latest from 1 January 2015. |
(5) |
In accordance with the joint recommendation, the discard plan should cover all catches of species which are subject to minimum sizes as defined in Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 caught in small pelagic fisheries using pelagic mid-water trawl and/or purse seines in the Mediterranean Sea (i.e. fisheries for anchovy, sardine, mackerel and horse mackerel) from 1 January 2015. |
(6) |
To avoid disproportionate costs of handling unwanted catches and in accordance with Article 15(5)(c)(ii) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, it is appropriate to establish a de minimis exemption from the landing obligation in terms of percentage of the total annual catches of species subject to the landing obligation in small pelagic fisheries. The joint recommendations submitted by the concerned Member States support the case for the de minimis exemption, due to the increased costs entailed in the management of unwanted catches, both on board (sorting and boxing, storage and conservation) and on land (transport and storage, conservation, marketing and processing or destruction as special waste), compared to the limited and sometimes inexistent economic profit that could be derived from those unwanted catches. The evidence provided by the Member States was reviewed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) which concluded that the joint recommendations contained reasoned arguments related to the increase of costs in handling unwanted catches, supported in some cases with a qualitative assessment of the costs (4). In light of the above and in the absence of differing scientific information, it is appropriate to establish the de minimis exemption in accordance with the percentage levels proposed in the joint recommendations and at levels not exceeding those allowed under Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 |
(7) |
In accordance with the joint recommendations and taking into account the time- frame set out in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2015. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, it should apply for no more than 3 years, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation specifies the details for implementing the landing obligation, as provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, from 1 January 2015 in the Mediterranean Sea, to all catches of species which are subject to minimum sizes in the small pelagic fisheries set out in the Annex.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1393/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a discard plan for certain pelagic fisheries in north-western waters
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. |
(2) |
Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than three years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States in consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils. |
(3) |
Belgium, Ireland, Spain, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have a direct fisheries management interest in the north-western waters. Those Member States, have submitted a joint recommendation to the Commission after consultation of the Pelagic Advisory Council, the Long-Distance Advisory Council and the North Western Waters Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. The measures included in the joint recommendation comply with Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and therefore, in accordance with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 they should be included in this Regulation. |
(4) |
As regards the north-western waters, according to Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should apply to all vessels engaged in small pelagic and large pelagic fisheries in relation to species caught in those fisheries which are subject to catch limits at the latest from 1 January 2015. |
(5) |
In accordance with the joint recommendation, the discard plan should cover certain small pelagic and large pelagic fisheries, namely fisheries for mackerel, herring, horse mackerel, blue whiting, boarfish, greater silver smelt, albacore tuna and sprat in ICES zones Vb, VI and VII, from 1 January 2015. |
(6) |
The joint recommendation includes an exemption from the landing obligation for mackerel and herring caught with purse seines under certain conditions based on scientific evidence of high survivability in accordance with Article 15(4)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Scientific evidence supporting high survivability was provided by the Scheveningen Group in the joint recommendation for a discard plan for the North Sea, which made reference to a specific scientific study on fish survival from slipping in purse seine fisheries. The study found that survival rates depend on the crowding time and the density of fish within the net, which are typically limited in these fisheries. This information was reviewed by the STECF. STECF concluded that, assuming the results of the survival study are representative of survival rates under commercial fishing operations, the proportion of slipped mackerel surviving would likely be around 70 %. The densities would also be lower than the density where mortality of herring was observed to increase. A prohibition of the release of mackerel and herring before the net is fully taken on board a fishing vessel, resulting in the loss of dead or dying fish, is set out in Article 19b(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 (2). This survivability exemption does not affect the prohibition in force, since the release of the fish will occur at a stage of the fishing operation where the fish would have a high survival rate after release. Therefore this exemption should be included in this Regulation. |
(7) |
The joint recommendation includes four de minimis exemptions from the landing obligation for certain fisheries and up to certain levels. The evidence provided by the Member States was reviewed by the STECF, which concluded that the joint recommendations contained reasoned arguments related to the increase of costs in handling unwanted catches, supported in some cases with a qualitative assessment of the costs. In light of the above and in the absence of differing scientific information, it is appropriate to establish the de minimis exemptions in accordance with the percentage level proposed in the joint recommendation and at levels not exceeding those allowed under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. |
(8) |
The de minimis exemption for blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou), up to a maximum of 7 % in 2015 and 2016, and 6 % in 2017, of the total annual catches in the industrial pelagic trawler fishery targeting that species in ICES zone VIII and processing that species on board to obtain surimi base, is based on the fact that increased selectivity cannot be achieved, and that costs of handling the unwanted catch is disproportionate. STECF concludes that the exemption is sufficiently well argued. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(9) |
The de minimis exemption for up to a maximum of 7 % in 2015 and 2016, and 6 % in 2017 for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) of the total annual catches in the albacore tuna directed fisheries using midwater pair trawls (PTM) in ICES zone VII, is based on the disproportionate costs of handling the unwanted catch. These are costs of storage and handling at sea and on shore. STECF in its evaluation mentioned the risk of highgrading. However, this exemption is without prejudice to Article 19a of Regulation (EC) No 850/98. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(10) |
To avoid disproportionate costs of handling unwanted catches, like storing, labour, icing, and taking into account the difficulty to increase selectivity in the pelagic fishery targeting mackerel, horse mackerel and herring in ICES division VIId, the joint recommendation includes a de minimis exemption from the landing obligation for this mixed fishery. This exemption is based on scientific evidence provided by the Member States involved in the joint recommendation and was reviewed by the STECF. STECF found that the JR presents reasoned qualitative arguments in support of this exemption on the grounds of disproportionate costs of handling unwanted catches. Therefore, this exemption should be included in this Regulation. |
(11) |
The de minimis exemption of up to a maximum of 1 % in 2015 and 0,75 % in 2016 of the TAC of boarfish (Caproidae) in the fishery targeting horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) with pelagic freezer trawlers using midwater trawls in ICES zones VI and VII is based on the difficulty to increase selectivity, and the disproportionate costs of handling (separating wanted from unwanted catches). STECF concludes that the exemption is supported by reasoned qualitative arguments on the difficulty of improving selectivity in this fishery and reasonable arguments regarding additional handling costs. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(12) |
In order to ensure appropriate control, specific requirements for documentation of catches under the exemption based on survivability covered by this Regulation should be laid down. |
(13) |
Since the measures provided for in this Regulation impact directly on the economic activities linked to and the planning of the fishing season of Union vessels, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication. It should apply from 1 January 2015 in order to comply with the time-frame set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, this Regulation should apply for no more than three years, |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1394/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a discard plan for certain pelagic fisheries in south-western waters
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. |
(2) |
Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than three years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States in consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils. |
(3) |
Belgium, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal have a direct fisheries management interest in the south-western waters. Those Member States have submitted a joint recommendation to the Commission containing specific measures, after consultation of the Pelagic Advisory Council, the Long-Distance Advisory Council and the South Western Waters Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. The measures included in the joint recommendation comply with Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and therefore, in accordance with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 they should be included in this Regulation. |
(4) |
As regards the south-western waters, according to Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should apply to all vessels engaged in small pelagic and large pelagic fisheries in relation to species caught in those fisheries which are subject to catch limits at the latest from 1 January 2015. |
(5) |
In accordance with the joint recommendation, the discard plan should cover certain small pelagic and large pelagic fisheries, namely the fisheries for horse mackerel, mackerel, sprat, anchovy, albacore tuna, blue whiting and jack mackerel in ICES zones VIII, IX and X and in CECAF zones 34.1.1, 34.1.2 and 34.2.0 from 1 January 2015. |
(6) |
The joint recommendation includes an exemption from the landing obligation for anchovy, horse mackerel, jack mackerel and mackerel caught in purse seine fisheries in ICES areas VIII, IX and X and CECAF areas 34.1.1, 34.1.2 and 34.2, based on scientific evidence of high survivability, in accordance with Article 15(4)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Scientific evidence supporting high survivability was provided in the Joint Recommendation, which made reference to a specific scientific study on fish survival from slipping in purse seine fisheries of European Southern waters. The study found that survival rates depend on the crowding time and the density of fish within the net, which are typically limited in these fisheries. This information was reviewed by the STECF (at its second plenary meeting in 2014). STECF concluded that, assuming the results of the survival study are representative of survival rates under commercial fishing operations, the proportion of slipped fish surviving would likely be greater than 50 %. A prohibition of the release of mackerel and herring before the net is fully taken on board a fishing vessel, resulting in the loss of dead or dying fish, is set out in Article 19b(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 850/98 (2). This survivability exemption does not affect the prohibition in force, since the release of the fish will occur at a stage of the fishing operation where the fish would have a high survival rate after release. Therefore such an exemption should be included in this Regulation. |
(7) |
The joint recommendation also includes four de minimis exemptions from the landing obligation for certain fisheries and up to certain levels. The evidence provided by the Member States was reviewed by the STECF, which concluded that the joint recommendations contained reasoned arguments related to the increase of costs in handling unwanted catches, supported in some cases with a qualitative assessment of the costs. In light of the above and in the absence of differing scientific information, it is appropriate to establish the de minimis exemptions in accordance with the percentage level proposed in the joint recommendation and at levels not exceeding those allowed under Article 15(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. |
(8) |
The de minimis exemption for blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou), up to a maximum of 7 % in 2015 and 2016, and 6 % in 2017, of the total annual catches in the industrial pelagic trawler fishery targeting that species in ICES zone VIII and processing that species on board to obtain surimi base, is based on the fact that increased selectivity cannot be achieved, and that costs of handling the unwanted catch is disproportionate. STECF concludes that the exemption is sufficiently well argued. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(9) |
The de minimis exemption for up to a maximum of 7 % in 2015 and 2016, and 6 % in 2017 for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga) of the total annual catches in the albacore tuna directed fisheries using midwater pair trawls (PTM) in ICES zone VIII, is based on the disproportionate costs of handling the unwanted catch. These are costs of storage and handling at sea and on shore. STECF in its evaluation mentioned the risk of highgrading. However, this exemption is without prejudice to Article 19a of Regulation (EC) No 850/98. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(10) |
The de minimis exemption for up to a maximum of 5 % in 2015 and 2016, and 4 % in 2017, of the total annual catches in the pelagic trawl fishery for anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) in ICES zone VIII is based on the difficulty to improve selectivity in this fishery. STECF concludes that the exemption is well argued for mackerel and horse mackerel and notes a partial risk of highgrading for anchovy. This exemption is however without prejudice to Article 19a of Regulation (EC) No 850/98. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(11) |
A final de minimis exemption is for the purse seine fishery in ICES zones VIII, IX and X and in CECAF areas 34.1.1, 34.1.2 and 34.2.0 targeting the following species: up to a maximum of 5 % in 2015 and 2016, and 4 % in 2017, of the total annual catches of horse mackerel (Trachurus spp.) and mackerel (Scomber scombrus); and up to a maximum of 2 % in 2015 and 2016, and 1 % in 2017, of the total annual catches of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus). STECF concludes that this exemption is supported by reasoned arguments which demonstrate the difficulties of improving the selectivity in this fishery. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(12) |
Finally, the joint recommendation includes a minimum conservation reference size (MCRS) of 9 cm for two fisheries for anchovy with the aim of ensuring the protection of juveniles of that species. The STECF evaluated this measure and concluded that it would not impact negatively on juvenile anchovy, that it would increase the level of catches that could be sold for human consumption without increasing fishing mortality, and that it may have benefits for control and enforcement. Therefore, the MCRS for anchovy in the fisheries concerned should be fixed at 9 cm. |
(13) |
Since the measures provided in this Regulation impact directly on the economic activities linked to, and the planning of the fishing season of Union vessels, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication. It should apply from 1 January 2015 in order to comply with the time-frame set out in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, this Regulation should apply for no more than three years, |

Article 2
Survivability exemption
By way of derogation from Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation shall not apply to catches of anchovy, horse mackerel, jack mackerel and mackerel in artisanal purse seine fisheries. All such catches may be released, provided that the net is not fully taken on board.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1395/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a discard plan for certain small pelagic fisheries and fisheries for industrial purposes in the North Sea
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. |
(2) |
Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than three years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States with the relevant Advisory Councils. |
(3) |
Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom have a direct fisheries management interest in the North Sea. Those Member States have submitted joint recommendations to the Commission after having consulted the Pelagic Advisory Council and the North Sea Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. The measures included in the joint recommendation comply with Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and therefore, in accordance with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 they should be included in this Regulation. |
(4) |
As regards the North Sea, according to Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should apply to all vessels engaged in small pelagic fisheries and fisheries for industrial purposes in relation to species caught in those fisheries which are subject to catch limits at the latest from 1 January 2015. |
(5) |
In accordance with the joint recommendation, the discard plan should cover certain fisheries for mackerel, herring, horse mackerel, blue whiting, greater silver smelt and sprat as well as fisheries for industrial purposes for Norway pout, sprat and sand eel in the North Sea from 1 January 2015. |
(6) |
The joint recommendation includes an exemption from the landing obligation for mackerel and herring caught with purse seines under certain conditions based on scientific evidence of high survivability in accordance with Article 15(4)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Scientific evidence supporting high survivability was provided by the Scheveningen Group in the joint recommendation, which made reference to a number of scientific studies on fish survival from slipping in purse seine fisheries. These studies found that survival rates depend on the crowding time and the density of fish within the net, which are typically limited in these fisheries. This information was reviewed by the STECF plenary 14-02. STECF concluded that assuming the results of the survival studies are representative of survival rates under commercial fishing operations, the proportion of slipped mackerel surviving would likely be around 70 % and would result in much lower densities than the density where mortality of herring was observed to increase. A prohibition of the release of mackerel and herring before the net is fully taken on board a fishing vessel, resulting in the loss of dead or dying fish, is set out in Article 19b(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 850/98 (2). This survivability exemption does not affect the prohibition in force, since the release of the fish will occur at a stage of the fishing operation where the fish would have a high survival rate after release. Therefore such an exemption should be included in this Regulation. |
(7) |
The joint recommendation also includes a de minimis exemption from the landing obligation to avoid disproportionate costs of handling unwanted catches, like storing, labour, icing and taking into account the difficulty to increase selectivity for the pelagic fishery targeting mackerel, horse mackerel and herring in ICES areas IV b and c south of 54 degrees north. This exemption is based on scientific evidence provided by the Member States involved in the joint recommendation and was reviewed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). STECF found that the joint recommendation presents reasoned qualitative arguments in support of a de minimis exemption on the grounds of disproportionate costs of handling unwanted catches. In light of the above and in the absence of differing scientific information, it is appropriate to establish the de minimis exemption in accordance with the percentage levels proposed in the joint recommendations and at levels not exceeding those allowed under Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Therefore, this exemption should be included in this Regulation. |
(8) |
In order to ensure appropriate control, specific requirements for documentation of catches under the exemptions covered by this Regulation should be laid down. |
(9) |
Since the measures provided for in this Regulation impact directly on the economic activities linked to and the planning of the fishing season of Union vessels, it should enter into force immediately after its publication. |
(10) |
This Regulation should apply from 1 January 2015 in order to comply with the time-frame set out in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, it should apply for no more than three years, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation specifies the details for implementing the landing obligation, provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, from 1 January 2015 in the North Sea, as defined in Article 4(2)(a) of that Regulation, in the fisheries set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
Survivability exemption
1. By way of derogation from Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation shall not apply to catches of mackerel and herring in the purse seine fisheries, if all of the following conditions are met:
— |
the catch is released before a certain percentage (set out in paragraphs 2 and 3 below) of the purse seine is closed (‘the point of retrieval’), |
— |
the purse seine gear is fitted with a visible buoy clearly marking the limit for the point of retrieval, |
— |
the vessel and the purse seine gear are equipped with an electronic recording and documenting system when, where and extent to which the purse seine has been hauled for all fishing operations. |
2. The point of retrieval shall be 80 % closure of the purse seine in fisheries for mackerel and it shall be 90 % closure of the purse seine in fisheries for herring.
3. If the surrounded school consists of a mixture of both species the point of retrieval shall be 80 % closure of the purse seine.
4. It shall be prohibited to release catches of mackerel and herring after the point of retrieval.
5. The surrounded school of fish shall be sampled before its release to estimate the species composition, the fish size composition and the quantity.
Article 3
De minimis exemption
By way of derogation from Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, up to a maximum of 3 % in 2015 and 2 % for 2016 of the total annual catches of mackerel, horse mackerel, herring and whiting in the pelagic fishery with pelagic trawlers up to 25 metres in length overall, using mid-water trawl (OTM), targeting mackerel, horse mackerel and herring in ICES areas IV b and c south of 54 degrees north, may be discarded.

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) No 1396/2014
of 20 October 2014
establishing a discard plan in the Baltic Sea
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Articles 15(6) and 18(1) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. |
(2) |
Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 empowers the Commission to adopt discard plans by means of a delegated act for a period of no more than 3 years on the basis of joint recommendations developed by Member States in consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils. |
(3) |
Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Sweden have a direct fisheries management interest in the Baltic Sea. Those Member States have submitted a joint recommendation (2) to the Commission, after consulting the Baltic Sea Advisory Council. Scientific contribution was obtained from relevant scientific bodies. The measures included in the joint recommendation comply with Article 15(6) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and therefore, in line with Article 18(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 they should be included in this Regulation. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 15(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should apply to catches of species subject to catch limits caught in small pelagic fisheries, which are fisheries for herring and sprat and in fisheries for industrial purposes in the Baltic from 1 January 2015. It should also apply to such catches in fisheries for salmon at the latest from that date. Cod is considered as a species defining certain fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Plaice is mostly caught as a by-catch in certain cod fisheries and is subject to catch limits. In accordance with Article 15(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 the landing obligation should in consequence apply to cod at the latest from 1 January 2015 and to plaice at the latest from 1 January 2017. In accordance with the joint recommendation, this discard plan should therefore cover all catches of herring, sprat, salmon, cod and plaice in fisheries in the Baltic Sea from 1 January 2015 or from 1 January 2017, as appropriate. |
(5) |
The joint recommendation includes an exemption from the landing obligation for salmon and cod caught with trap-nets, creels/pots, fyke-nets and pound nets. That exemption is based on scientific evidence of high survivability, provided by the Baltic Sea Fisheries Forum (BALTFISH) and reviewed by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). STECF notes that most of the information required to justify such exemptions are included in the BALTFISH joint recommendation (3). STECF concluded that based on the fact that such gears operate by trapping fish inside a static netting structure, as opposed to entangling or hooking for example, it seemed reasonable to assume that mortality for these gears will also be low, typically less than 10 %. However, STECF advised that further work should be undertaken to confirm whether the lower mortality assumption was valid as well as on handling practices and prevailing environmental conditions. Therefore, the exemption concerned should be included in this Regulation. |
(6) |
According to Article 15(10) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, minimum conservation reference sizes (MCRS) may be established with the aim of ensuring the protection of juveniles of marine organisms. Currently, a minimum size of 38 cm applies to cod by virtue of Council Regulation (EC) No 2187/2005 (4). Scientific evidence reviewed by the STECF supports the fixing of minimum conservation reference size for cod at 35 cm. In particular, STECF concluded that there may be sound biological reasons for decreasing the current minimum size of 38 cm to reduce the current levels of discarding. It also concluded that under the landing obligation, setting a MCRS for cod at 35 cm would reduce the level of catches that may not be sold for human consumption and that there were no arguments related to first spawning to support the fixing of MCRS at 38 cm in the Baltic. Therefore, the MCRS for cod in the Baltic should be fixed at 35 cm. |
(7) |
This Regulation should apply from 1 January 2015 in order to comply with the time- frame set out in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In accordance with Article 15(6) of that Regulation, it should apply for no more than 3 years, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Subject matter
This Regulation specifies the details for implementing the landing obligation, as provided for in Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, of the Baltic Sea, as defined in Article 4(2)(b) of that Regulation:
(a) |
from 1 January 2015 as regards fisheries for herring, sprat, salmon and cod; |
(b) |
from 1 January 2017 as regards plaice caught in all fisheries. |
Article 2
Survivability exemption
By way of derogation from Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the landing obligation shall not apply to cod and salmon caught with trap-nets, creels/pots, fyke-nets and pound nets. All such cod and salmon may be released back into the sea.
Article 3
Minimum conservation reference sizes
The minimum conservation reference size for cod in the Baltic Sea shall be 35 cm.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 18 December 2014
amending Decision 2000/532/EC on the list of waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2014/955/EU)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2008/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 November 2008 on waste and repealing certain Directives (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
A Union list of hazardous waste (hereafter ‘list of waste’) was established by Council Decision 94/904/EC (2), and that Decision has been replaced by Commission Decision 2000/532/EC (3). |
(2) |
Directive 2008/98/EC provides that the attribution of the hazardous properties H 4, H 5, H 6, H 7, H 8, H 10, H 11 and H 14 is to be made on the basis of the criteria laid down by Annex VI to Council Directive 67/548/EEC (4). |
(3) |
Directive 67/548/EEC has been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) with effect from 1 June 2015, reflecting technical and scientific progress. By way of derogation, Directive 67/548/EEC may apply to some mixtures until 1 June 2017, in case they were classified, labelled and packaged in accordance with Directive 1999/45/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) and already placed on the market before 1 June 2015. |
(4) |
Requirements of Decision 2000/532/EC for the classification of wastes as hazardous regarding the hazardous properties H 3 to H 8, H 10 and H 11 need to be adapted to technical and scientific progress and aligned with the new legislation on chemicals, where appropriate. These requirements have been included in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC. |
(5) |
The Annex to Decision 2000/532/EC establishing the list of waste needs to be amended to align it with the terminology used in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. It is appropriate to refer to Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 (7) or other internationally recognised test methods and guidelines when the attribution of hazardous properties is conducted by performing a test. |
(6) |
The properties that render wastes hazardous are precisely defined in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC. Therefore, the characteristics displayed by waste to be considered as hazardous as regards H3 to H8, H 10 and H 11 that were included in Article 2 of Decision 2000/532/EC have become redundant. |
(7) |
The requirements of Article 3 of Decision 2000/532/EC are included in Articles 7(2) and (3) of Directive 2008/98/EC. Therefore, they have become redundant. |
(8) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee provided for in Article 39 of Directive 2008/98/EC, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Decision 2000/532/EC is amended as follows:
(1) |
Articles 2 and 3 are deleted. |
(2) |
The Annex is replaced by the Annex to this Decision. |
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 June 2015.

ANNEX
LIST OF WASTE REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 7 OF DIRECTIVE 2008/98/EC
DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Annex, the following definitions shall apply:
1. |
‘hazardous substance’ means a substance classified as hazardous as a consequence of fulfilling the criteria laid down in parts 2 to 5 of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008; |
2. |
‘heavy metal’ means any compound of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium (VI), copper, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, tellurium, thallium and tin, as well as these materials in metallic form, as far as these are classified as hazardous substances; |
3. |
‘polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated terphenyls’ (‘PCBs’) means PCBs as defined in Article 2(a) of Council Directive 96/59/EC (1); |
4. |
‘transition metals’ means any of the following metals: any compound of scandium, vanadium, manganese, cobalt, copper, yttrium, niobium, hafnium, tungsten, titanium, chromium, iron, nickel, zinc, zirconium, molybdenum and tantalum, as well as these materials in metallic form, as far as these are classified as hazardous substances; |
5. |
‘stabilisation’ means processes which change the hazardousness of the constituents in the waste and transform hazardous waste into non-hazardous waste; |
6. |
‘solidification’ means processes which only change the physical state of the waste by using additives without changing the chemical properties of the waste; |
7. |
‘partly stabilised wastes’ means wastes containing, after the stabilisation process, hazardous constituents which have not been changed completely into non-hazardous constituents and could be released into the environment in the short, middle or long term. |
ASSESSMENT AND CLASSIFICATION
1. Assessment of hazardous properties of waste
When assessing the hazardous properties of wastes, the criteria laid down in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC shall apply. For the hazardous properties HP 4, HP 6 and HP 8, cut-off values for individual substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC shall apply to the assessment. Where a substance is present in the waste below its cut-off value, it shall not be included in any calculation of a threshold. Where a hazardous property of a waste has been assessed by a test and by using the concentrations of hazardous substances as indicated in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC, the results of the test shall prevail.
2. Classification of waste as hazardous
Any waste marked with an asterisk (*) in the list of wastes shall be considered as hazardous waste pursuant to Directive 2008/98/EC, unless Article 20 of that Directive applies.
For those wastes for which hazardous and non-hazardous waste codes could be assigned, the following shall apply:
— |
An entry in the harmonised list of wastes marked as hazardous, having a specific or general reference to 'hazardous substances', is only appropriate to a waste when that waste contains relevant hazardous substances that cause the waste to display one or more of the hazardous properties HP 1 to HP 8 and/or HP 10 to HP 15 as listed in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC. The assessment of the hazardous property HP 9 'infectious' shall be made according to relevant legislation or reference documents in the Member States. |
— |
A hazardous property can be assessed by using the concentration of substances in the waste as specified in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC or, unless otherwise specified in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, by performing a test in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 or other internationally recognised test methods and guidelines, taking into account Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as regards animal and human testing. |
— |
Wastes containing polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF), DDT (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl)ethane), chlordane, hexachlorocyclohexanes (including lindane), dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexaclorobenzene, chlordecone, aldrine, pentachlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene hexabromobiphenyl and/or PCB exceeding the concentration limits indicated in Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 850/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) shall be classified as hazardous. |
— |
The concentration limits defined in Annex III to Directive 2008/98/EC do not apply to pure metal alloys in their massive form (not contaminated with hazardous substances). Those waste alloys that are considered as hazardous waste are specifically enumerated in this list and marked with an asterisk (*). |
— |
Where applicable, the following notes included in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 may be taken into account when establishing the hazardous properties of wastes:
|
— |
After assessing the hazardous properties for a waste according to this method, an appropriate hazardous or non-hazardous entry from the list of wastes shall be assigned. All other entries in the harmonised list of wastes are considered non-hazardous. |
LIST OF WASTE
The different types of waste in the list are fully defined by the six-digit code for the waste and the respective two-digit and four-digit chapter headings. This implies that the following steps should be taken to identify a waste in the list:
— |
Identify the source generating the waste in Chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20 and identify the appropriate six-digit code of the waste (excluding codes ending with 99 of these chapters). Note that a specific production unit may need to classify its activities in several chapters. For instance, a car manufacturer may find its wastes listed in Chapters 12 (wastes from shaping and surface treatment of metals), 11 (inorganic wastes containing metals from metal treatment and the coating of metals) and 08 (wastes from the use of coatings), depending on the different process steps. |
— |
If no appropriate waste code can be found in Chapters 01 to 12 or 17 to 20, the Chapters 13, 14 and 15 must be examined to identify the waste. |
— |
If none of these waste codes apply, the waste must be identified according to Chapter 16. |
— |
If the waste is not in Chapter 16 either, the 99 code (wastes not otherwise specified) must be used in the section of the list corresponding to the activity identified in step one. |
