ANNEX II
FISHING EFFORT FOR VESSELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF WESTERN CHANNEL SOLE STOCKS IN ICES DIVISION 7e
CHAPTER I
General provisions
- SCOPE
1.1.
This Annex shall apply to Union fishing vessels of 10 metres length overall or more carrying on board or deploying beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm and static nets, including gillnets, trammel-nets and tangle-nets, with mesh size equal to or less than 220 mm in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/472, and present in ICES division 7e.
1.2.
Vessels fishing with static nets with mesh size equal to or larger than 120 mm and with track records of less than 300 kg live weight of sole per year during the three previous years, according to their fishing records, shall be exempt from the application of this Annex subject to the following conditions:
(a) such vessels caught less than 300 kg live weight of sole during the 2019 management period;
(b) such vessels do not tranship any fish at sea to another vessel;
(c) by 31 July 2021 and 31 January 2022 each Member State concerned makes a report to the Commission on those vessels’ catch records for sole in the three previous years as well as on catches of sole in 2021.
Where any of those conditions is not met, the vessels concerned shall cease to be exempt from the application of this Annex, with immediate effect.
- DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Annex, the following definitions apply:
(a) gear grouping means the grouping consisting of the following two gear categories:
(i) beam trawls of mesh size equal to or greater than 80 mm; and
(ii) static nets, including gillnets, trammel nets and tangle-nets, with mesh size equal to or less than 220 mm;
(b) regulated gear means any of the two gear categories belonging to the gear grouping;
(c) the area means ICES division 7e;
(d) current management period means the period from 1 February 2021 to 31 January 2022.
- LIMITATION IN ACTIVITY
Without prejudice to Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, each Member State shall ensure that, when carrying on board any regulated gear, Union fishing vessels flying its flag and registered in the Union shall be present within the area for no more than the number of days set out in Chapter III of this Annex.
CHAPTER II
Authorisations
- AUTHORISED VESSELS
4.1
A Member State shall not authorise fishing with regulated gear in the area by any vessel flying its flag which has no record of such fishing activity in the area in the period from 2002 to 2018, excluding the record of fishing activities as a result of transfer of days between fishing vessels, unless it ensures that equivalent capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from fishing in the area.
4.2
However, a vessel with a track record of using a regulated gear may be authorised to use a different fishing gear, provided that the number of days allocated to this latter gear is greater than or equal to the number of days allocated to the regulated gear.
4.3
A vessel flying the flag of a Member State having no quotas in the area shall not be authorised to fish in the area with regulated gear, unless the vessel is allocated a quota after a transfer as permitted in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and is allocated days at sea in accordance with point 10 or 11 of this Annex.
CHAPTER III
Number of days present within the area allocated to Union fishing vessels
- MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DAYS
From 1 January to 31 March 2021, the maximum number of days at sea for which a Member State may authorise a vessel flying its flag to be present within the area carrying on board any regulated gear is set out in Table I.
Table I
Maximum number of days a vessel may be present within the area by category of regulated gear from 1 January to 31 March 2021
Regulated gearMaximum number of daysBeam trawls of mesh size ≥ 80 mmBelgium44France47Static nets with mesh size ≤ 220 mmBelgium44France48
- KILOWATT DAY SYSTEM
6.1.
During the current management period, a Member State may manage its fishing effort allocations in accordance with a kilowatt days system. Through that system it may authorise any vessel concerned by any regulated gear as set out in Table I to be present within the area for a maximum number of days which is different from that set out in that Table, provided that the overall amount of kilowatt days corresponding to the regulated gear is respected.
6.2.
This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying the flag of the Member State concerned and qualified for the regulated gear. Such individual fishing efforts shall be calculated in kilowatt days by multiplying the engine power of each vessel by the number of days at sea it would benefit from, according to Table I, if point 6.1 were not applied.
6.3.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1 shall submit a request to the Commission, for the regulated gear as set out in Table I, with reports in electronic format containing the details of the calculation based on:
(a) the list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power;
(b) the number of days at sea for which each vessel would have initially been authorised to fish according to Table I and the number of days at sea from which each vessel would benefit in application of point 6.1.
6.4.
On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the conditions referred to in point 6 are complied with and, where applicable, may authorise the Member State concerned to benefit from the system referred to in point 6.1.
- ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR PERMANENT CESSATION OF FISHING ACTIVITIES
7.1.
An additional number of days at sea on which a vessel may be authorised by its flag Member State to be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of permanent cessations of fishing activities that have taken place during the preceding management period either in accordance with Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 149 20.5.2014, p. 1).
or with Council Regulation (EC) No 744/2008
Council Regulation (EC) No 744/2008 of 24 July 2008 instituting a temporary specific action aiming to promote the restructuring of the European Community fishing fleets affected by the economic crisis (OJ L 202, 31.7.2008, p. 1).
. Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly reasoned request from the Member State concerned. Such written request shall identify the vessels concerned and confirm, for each of them, that they shall never return to fishing activities.
7.2.
The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using a given gear grouping shall be divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear grouping during 2003. The additional number of days at sea shall be then calculated by multiplying the ratio so obtained by the number of days that would have been allocated according to Table I. Any part of a day resulting from that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole day.
7.3.
Points 7.1 and 7.2 shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 4.2, or when the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.
7.4.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 7.1 shall submit a request to the Commission, by 15 June of the current management period, with reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping as set out in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:
(a) lists of withdrawn vessels with their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine power;
(b) the fishing activity deployed by such vessels in 2003 calculated in days at sea according to the grouping of fishing gear.
7.5.
During the current management period, a Member State may re-allocate any additionally granted days at sea to all or part of the vessels remaining in its fleet and qualified for the regulated gear.
7.6.
When the Commission allocates additional days at sea due to a permanent cessation of fishing activities during the preceding management period the maximum number of days per Member State and gear set out in Table I shall be adjusted accordingly for the current management period.
- ALLOCATION OF ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR ENHANCED SCIENTIFIC OBSERVER COVERAGE
8.1.
Three additional days on which a vessel may be present within the area when carrying on board any regulated gear may be allocated between 1 February 2021 and 31 January 2022 to a Member State by the Commission on the basis of an enhanced programme of scientific observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry. Such a programme shall focus in particular on levels of discarding and on catch composition and go beyond the requirements on data collection, as laid down in Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council
Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 on the establishment of a Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (OJ L 157, 20.6.2017, p. 1).
and its implementing rules for national programmes.
8.2.
Scientific observers shall be independent from the owner, the master of the fishing vessel and any crew member.
8.3.
A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1 shall submit a description of its enhanced scientific observer coverage programme to the Commission for approval.
8.4.
If an enhanced scientific observer coverage programme submitted by a Member State has been approved by the Commission in the past and the Member State concerned wishes to continue its application without changes, it shall inform the Commission of the continuation of that programme four weeks before the beginning of the period for which the programme applies.
CHAPTER IV
Management
- GENERAL OBLIGATION
Member States shall manage the maximum allowable effort in accordance with Articles 26 to 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
- MANAGEMENT PERIODS
10.1.
A Member State may divide the days present within the area set out in Table I into management periods of durations of one or more calendar months.
10.2.
The number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present within the area during a management period shall be fixed by the Member State concerned.
10.3.
Where a Member State authorises vessels flying its flag to be present within the area by hours, the Member State shall continue measuring the consumption of days as specified in point 9. Upon the request of the Commission, the Member State concerned shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an excessive consumption of days within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end of a 24-hour period.
CHAPTER V
Exchanges of fishing effort allocations
- TRANSFER OF DAYS BETWEEN FISHING VESSELS FLYING THE FLAG OF A MEMBER STATE
11.1.
A Member State may permit any fishing vessel flying its flag to transfer days present within the area for which it has been authorised to another vessel flying its flag within the area, provided that the product of the number of days received by a vessel and its engine power in kilowatts (kilowatt days) is equal to or less than the product of the number of days transferred by the donor vessel and its engine power in kilowatts. The engine power in kilowatts of the vessels shall be that recorded for each vessel in the Union fishing fleet register.
11.2.
The total number of days present within the area transferred in accordance with point 11.1, multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of the donor vessel, shall not be higher than the donor vessel’s average annual days track record in the area as verified by the fishing logbook in the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 multiplied by the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel.
11.3.
The transfer of days in accordance with point 11.1 shall be permitted between vessels operating with any regulated gear and during the same management period.
11.4.
Upon the request of the Commission, Member States shall provide information on the transfers that have taken place. Formats of spreadsheet for the collection and transmission of that information may be established by the Commission, by means of implementing acts. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 58(2).
- TRANSFER OF DAYS BETWEEN FISHING VESSELS FLYING THE FLAG OF DIFFERENT MEMBER STATES
Member States may permit transfer of days present within the area for the same management period and within the area between any fishing vessels flying their flags provided that points 4.1, 4.3, 5, 6 and 10 apply. Where Member States decide to authorise such a transfer, they shall notify the Commission, before the transfer takes place, of the details of the transfer, including the number of days to be transferred, the fishing effort and, where applicable, the fishing quotas relating thereto.
CHAPTER VI

PART B
Maximum number of fishing authorisations for third-country vessels fishing in union waters
To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the vessel owner applying for the fishing authorisation and a processing undertaking situated in the Department of French Guiana, and that it includes an obligation to land at least 75 % of all snapper catches from the vessel concerned in that department so that they may be processed in that undertaking’s plant. Such a contract must be endorsed by the French authorities, which shall ensure that it is consistent both with the actual capacity of the contracting processing undertaking and with the objectives for the development of the Guianese economy. A copy of the duly endorsed contract shall be appended to the fishing authorisation application. Where such an endorsement is refused, the French authorities shall give notification of this refusal and state their reasons for it to the party concerned and to the Commission.
