Council Regulation (EU) No 219/2010 of 15 March 2010 amending Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 as regards the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and following the conclusion of the bilateral fisheries arrangements for 2010 with Norway and the Faroe Islands

Council Regulation (EU) No 219/2010

of 15 March 2010

amending Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 as regards the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and following the conclusion of the bilateral fisheries arrangements for 2010 with Norway and the Faroe Islands

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EU) No 53/2010^f1 fixes for 2010 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required.

(2)

The fishing opportunities for EU vessels in the waters of Norway and the Faroe Islands and in EU waters for stocks shared, jointly managed or exchanged with those countries as well as the fishing opportunities in EU waters for vessels flying the flag of Norway and the Faroe Islands are established each year following the consultation on fishing rights held in accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements or protocols on fisheries relations with those countries^f2.

(3)

Pending the conclusion of the consultations on the arrangements for 2010 with Norway and the Faroe Islands, Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 fixes provisional fishing opportunities for the concerned fish stocks.

(4)

On 15 January and 26 January 2010, the consultations with the Faroe Islands and Norway respectively were concluded and the arrangements for the fishing opportunities for 2010 established. As a consequence, it is necessary to replace the provisional fishing opportunities for the concerned fish stocks for 2010 as established in Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 with the fishing opportunities corresponding to those arrangements.

(5)

At its Annual Meeting in 2009, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission reconfirmed that as from 1 January 2010 two high seas areas in the WCPFC Convention area are to be closed to fishing for bigeye and yellowfin tuna by purse-seine vessels and introduced a limit on catches for swordfish for each party to the Convention. It is necessary to implement these new provisions into EU law.

(6)

Regulation (EU) No 53/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(7)

In order to avoid the interruption of fishing activities, this Regulation should apply from 1 January 2010. For the same reason it should enter into force immediately after its publication,

Quantitative limitations of fishing authorisations for EU vessels fishing in third-country waters

This allocation is valid for purse-seine and trawl fisheries.

To be selected from the 11 fishing authorisations for purse-seine fishery for mackerel south of 62° 00′N.

Following the Agreed Record of 1999, the figures for the directed fishing for cod and haddock are included in the figures for “All trawl fisheries with vessels of not more than 180 feet in the zone between 12 and 21 miles from the Faroese baselines”.

These figures refer to the maximum number of vessels present at any time.

These figures are included in the figures for “Trawl fisheries outside 21 miles from the Faroese baselines”.

The fishing authorisations for fishing activities in these waters may only be granted as from the date of conclusion of the bilateral fisheries arrangement with Norway for 2010.

The fishing authorisations for fishing activities in these waters may only be granted as from the date of conclusion of the bilateral fisheries arrangement with the Faroe Islands for 2010.’
