## Introductory text

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014
of 11 August 2014
operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2014 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 Community 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, and in particular Article 105(1), (2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
Fishing quotas for the year 2013 have been established by:
Council Regulation (EU) No 1262/2012,
Council Regulation (EU) No 1088/2012,
Council Regulation (EU) No 1261/2012,
Council Regulation (EU) No 39/2013, and
Council Regulation (EU) No 40/2013.
(2)
Fishing quotas for the year 2014 have been established by:
Regulation (EU) No 1262/2012,
Council Regulation (EU) No 1180/2013,
Council Regulation (EU) No 24/2014, and
Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2014.
(3)
According 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 provide that such deductions shall 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 2013. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2014 and, where appropriate, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.
(6)
Considering that Denmark has overfished its total allowable catches for sandeel in Union waters of management areas 2 and 4 in 2013, it is required to operate deductions. In 2014, minimal catches have been allowed for sandeel in these waters in order to monitor the development of the stock and the recovery of the local populations. However, with the said deductions it is impossible to maintain the monitoring system advised by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to manage sandeel. Therefore, deductions for the quotas overfished by Denmark in 2013 in these areas should be operated from sandeel management area 3.
(7)
Spain has overfished in 2012 its quota for the stock of Norway lobster in area IX and X; EU waters of CECAF 34.1.1 (NEP/93411). The deduction of 75,45 tonnes that resulted was applicable in 2013 and was spread at Spain's request over three years starting in 2013. The remaining annual deduction applicable to the Spanish NEP/93411 stock amounts to 25 tonnes in 2014 and 19 tonnes in 2015, without prejudice to any further quota adaptation.
(8)
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 770/2013 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1402/2013 have provided for deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2013. However, for certain Member States the deductions to be applied for some species were higher than the respective quotas available in 2013 and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that in such cases the full amount for the respective stocks will be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions for 2014 and, where appropriate, from subsequent quotas.
(9)
Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2014 quotas pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013.
(10)
Since quotas are expressed in tonnes or entire pieces, deductions have been rounded down to the tonne or piece, and quantities below 1 tonne or one piece have not been considered,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

## 1 

1. The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EU) No 1262/2012, (EU) No 1180/2013, (EU) No 24/2014, and (EU) No 43/2014 for the year 2014 shall be reduced as set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
2. Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to deductions provided for in Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013.

## 2 

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

## Signature

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

## DEDUCTIONS FROM QUOTAS FOR STOCKS WHICH HAVE BEEN OVERFISHED

Quotas available to a Member State pursuant to the relevant fishing opportunities Regulations after taking into account exchanges of fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 20(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, quota transfers in accordance with Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 and/or reallocation and deduction of fishing opportunities in accordance with Articles 37 and 105 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
As set out in Article 105(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Deduction equal to the overfishing * 1,00 shall apply in all cases of overfishing equal to, or less than, 100 tonnes.
As set out in Article 105(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
Letter ‘ A ’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013. Letter ‘ C ’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan.
Remaining quantities related to overfishing in years preceding the entry into force of the Control Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and that cannot be deducted from another stock.
Deductions to operate in 2014 as established by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 871/2014.
Deductions to operate in 2014 that could be actually applied considering the available quota.
At Spain's request, the pay-back due in 2013 was spread over three years.
To be deducted from SAN/234_3.
