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:
— Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285 (2),
— Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1970 (3),
— Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2360 (4), and
— Council Regulation (EU) 2018/120 (5).
(2) Fishing quotas for the year 2019 have been established by:
— Council Regulation (EU) 2018/1628 (6),
— Council Regulation (EU) 2018/2025 (7),
— Council Regulation (EU) 2018/2058 (8), and
— Council Regulation (EU) 2019/124 (9).
(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.

(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.
