(3 ) As set out in Article 105(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
(4 ) Letter ‘a’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. In this regard, see: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1004/2010 of 8 November 2010
operating deductions from certain fishing quotas for 2010 on account of overfishing in the previous year, as amended (OJ L 291, 9.11.2010, p. 31), Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2011 operating deductions from fishing
quotas available for certain stocks in 2011, on account of overfishing of those stocks in the previous year and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1021/2011 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2011,
on account of overfishing of other stocks in the previous year. Letter ‘c’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan.
(5 ) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2011 and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1021/2011 have operated deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2011. However, for certain Member States the
deductions to be applied were higher than their respective 2011 quota and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that also in such cases the full amount be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into
icial
account when establishing deductions from 2012 and, where appropriate, subsequent quotas.
(6 ) Amounts to be deducted from 2012 adapted quotas or following year(s) quotas where appropriate.
