(1) Where in the relevant period a licence was or is granted in respect of any vessel on the occasion of the surrender of a licence in respect of a different vessel (“the donor vessel”), the basic allocation in respect of the first-mentioned vessel (“the recipient vessel”) shall be increased, where appropriate, to take account of—
(a) the basic allocation, increased where appropriate in accordance with articles 6 to 9, in respect of the donor vessel and any vessel whose licence was surrendered on the occasion of the grant of a licence in respect of the donor vessel in the relevant period (“the antecedent vessel”), and
(b) the capacity units of the recipient vessel, the donor vessel and any antecedent vessel.
(2) Where—
(a) the person to whom the licence is to be granted in respect of the recipient vessel acquired or acquires the vessel, or entered or enters into an enforceable financial commitment to acquire the vessel, after 1st January of the year to which the basic allocation relates and before the date on which this Order comes into force, and
(b) the current or proposed pattern of fishing activity of the vessel—
(i) is significantly different from the pattern of fishing activity of the donor vessel or any antecedent vessel in the year to which the basic allocation in respect of the donor vessel or antecedent vessel relates, and
(ii) requires significantly more half-days at sea than the basic allocation in respect of the recipient vessel, increased, where appropriate, in accordance with paragraph (1) above,
that basic allocation shall be increased to take account of that fact.
(3) The relevant period for the purpose of paragraph (1) above is a period commencing after 1st January of the year to which the basic allocation in respect of the recipient vessel relates and before the date of commencement of any time at sea condition included in a licence in respect of that vessel.
