ANNEX IIA
FISHING EFFORT FOR VESSELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF CERTAIN COD, PLAICE AND
SOLE STOCKS IN ICES DIVISIONS IIIA, VIA, VIIA, VIID, ICES SUBAREA IV AND UNION WATERS OF ICES
DIVISIONS IIA AND VB
1. Scope
1.1. This Annex shall apply to Union vessels carrying on board or deploying any of the gears referred to in point 1 of
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and present in any of the geographical areas specified in point 2 of this
Annex.
1.2. This Annex shall not apply to vessels of less than 10 metres' length overall. Those vessels shall not be required to
carry fishing authorisations issued in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Member States
concerned shall assess the fishing effort of those vessels by effort groups to which they belong, using appropriate
sampling methods. During 2014, the Commission shall seek scientific advice for evaluating the effort deployment of
those vessels, with a view to their future inclusion into the effort regime.
2. Regulated
gears
and
geographical
areas
For the purposes of this Annex, the gear groupings referred to in point 1 of Annex I to Regulation (EC)
No 1342/2008 ("regulated gear") and the groupings of geographical areas referred to in point 2 of that Annex
shall apply.
3. Authorisations
If a Member State deems so appropriate in order to reinforce the sustainable implementation of this effort regime, it
may introduce a prohibition to fish with a regulated gear in any of the geographical areas to which this Annex
applies by any of vessels flying its flag which has no record of such fishing activity, unless it ensures that equivalent
capacity, measured in kilowatts, is prevented from fishing in that area.
4. Maximum
allowable
fishing
effort
4.1. The maximum allowable effort referred to in Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and in Article 9(2) of
Regulation (EC) No 676/2007 for the 2014 management period, i.e. from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015, for
each of the effort groups of each Member State is set out in Appendix 1 to this Annex.
4.2. The maximum levels of annual fishing effort set in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1954/2003 ( 1 ) shall not
affect the maximum allowable fishing effort set in this Annex.
5. Management
5.1. Member States shall manage the maximum allowable effort in accordance with the conditions laid down in Article 9
of Regulation (EC) No 676/2007, Article 4 and Articles 13 to 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 and Articles 26
to 35 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
5.2. A Member State may establish management periods for allocating all or parts of the maximum allowable effort to
individual vessels or groups of vessels. In such case, the number of days or hours for which a vessel may be present
within the area during a management period shall be fixed at the discretion of the Member State concerned. During
any such management periods, the Member State concerned may reallocate effort between individual vessels or
groups of vessels.
5.3. If a Member State authorises vessels flying its flag to be present within an area by hours, it shall continue measuring
the consumption of days in accordance with the conditions referred to in point 5.1. Upon request by the
Commission, the Member State concerned shall demonstrate its precautionary measures taken to avoid an
excessive consumption of effort within the area due to a vessel terminating presences in the area before the end
of a 24-hour period.
6. Fishing
effort
report
Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 shall apply to vessels falling under the scope of this Annex. The
geographical area referred to in that Article shall be understood, for the purpose of cod management, as each of the
geographical areas referred to in point 2 of this Annex.
( 1 ) Council Regulation (EC) No 1954/2003 of 4 November 2003 on the management of the fishing effort relating to certain Community
fishing areas and resources (OJ L 289, 7.11.2003, p. 1).

3. 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 vessels flying its flag shall be present within the area for no more than
the number of days specified in Chapter III of this Annex.
CHAPTER II
Authorisations
4. Authorised
vessels
4.1. A Member State shall not authorise fishing with a regulated gear in the area by any of vessels flying its flag which
have no record of such fishing activity in the years 2002 to 2013 in the area, 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. 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 a regulated gear, unless the vessel is allocated a quota after a transfer as permitted in accordance with
Article 20(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 and is allocated days at sea in accordance with point 11 or 12
of this Annex.
CHAPTER III
Number of days present within the area allocated to union vessels
5. Maximum
number
of
days
5.1. During the 2014 management period, 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 having carried on board any regulated gear is shown
in Table I.
5.2. If a vessel is able to demonstrate that its hake catches represent less than 4 % of the total live weight of fish caught
in a given fishing trip, the flag Member State of the vessel shall be allowed not to count the days at sea associated
with that fishing trip against the applicable maximum number of days at sea as set out in Table I.

6. Special
conditions
for
the
allocation
of
days
6.1. For the purposes of fixing the maximum number of days at sea an Union vessel may be authorised by its flag
Member State to be present within the area, the following special conditions shall apply in accordance with Table I:
(a) the total landings of hake in the year 2011 or 2012 made by the vessel concerned shall represent less than
5 tonnes according to the landings in live weight; and
(b) the total landings of Norway lobster in the year 2011 or 2012 made by the vessel concerned shall represent
less than 2,5 tonnes according to the landings in live weight.
6.2. If a vessel benefits from an unlimited number of days as a result of its compliance with the special conditions, the
vessel's landings in the 2014 management period shall not exceed 5 tonnes of the total landings in live weight of
hake and 2,5 tonnes of the total landings in live weight of Norway lobster.
6.3. When
either
of
the
special
conditions
is
not
met
by
a
vessel,
that
vessel
shall,
with
immediate
effect,
no
longer
be
entitled to the allocation of days corresponding to the given special condition.
6.4. The application of the special conditions referred to in point 6.1. may be transferred from one vessel to one or
more other vessels which replace that vessel in the fleet, provided that the replacing vessel uses similar gear and
does not have in any year of its operation a record of landings of hake and Norway lobster higher than the
quantities specified in point 6.1.

system
7.1. 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 and special conditions 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 and to the special conditions
is respected.
7.2. This overall amount of kilowatt days shall be the sum of all individual fishing efforts allocated to the vessels flying
the flag of that Member State and qualified for the regulated gear and, where applicable, the special conditions.
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 7.1. were not applied. For as long
as the number of days is unlimited according to Table I, the relevant number of days the vessel would benefit from
is 360.
7.3. A Member State wishing to benefit from the system referred to in point 7.1. shall submit a request to the
Commission, with reports in electronic format containing, for the regulated gear and special conditions as laid
down in Table I, the details of the calculation based on:
(a) list of vessels authorised to fish by indicating their Union fishing fleet register number (CFR) and their engine
power;

condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b), if these vessels are qualified for such special conditions;
(c) 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 which each vessel would benefit from in application of point 7.1.
7.4. On the basis of that request, the Commission shall assess whether the conditions referred to in point 7 are
complied with and, where applicable, may authorise that Member State to benefit from the system referred to
in point 7.1.
8.
Allocation of additional days for permanent cessation of fishing activities
8.1. 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 between 1 February 2013 and
31 January 2014 either in accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 ( 1 ) or Regulation (EC)
No 744/2008 ( 2 ). Permanent cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the
Commission on a case-by-case basis, following a written and duly motivated 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.
8.2. The effort expended in 2003 measured in kilowatt days of the withdrawn vessels using the regulated gear shall be
divided by the effort expended by all vessels using that gear 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.
8.3. Points 8.1. and 8.2. shall not apply where a vessel has been replaced in accordance with point 3 or 6.4., or when
the withdrawal has already been used in previous years to obtain additional days at sea.
8.4. A Member State wishing to benefit from the allocations referred to in point 8.1. shall submit a request to the
Commission, by 15 June 2014, with reports in electronic format containing, for the gear grouping and special
conditions as laid down 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 gears and, if necessary, special conditions.
8.5. On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate
that Member State a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5.1. for that Member State. Those
implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2).
8.6. During
the
2014
management
period,
a
Member
State
may
re-allocate
those
additional
days
at
sea
to
all
or
part
of
the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the regulated gears. Additional days stemming from a withdrawn
vessel that benefited from a special condition referred to in point 6.1.(a) or (b) may not be allocated to a vessel
remaining active that does not benefit from a special condition.
8.7. When the Commission allocates additional days at sea due to a permanent cessation of fishing activities during the
2014 management period, the maximum number of days per Member State and gear shown in Table I shall be
adjusted accordingly for the 2014 management period.
9. Allocation
of
additional
days
for
enhanced
scientific
observer
coverage
9.1. Three additional days on which a vessel may 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 an enhanced programme of scientific
observer coverage in partnership between scientists and the fishing industry. Such a programme shall focus

FISHING EFFORT FOR VESSELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF WESTERN CHANNEL SOLE
STOCKS IN ICES DIVISION VIIe
CHAPTER I
General provisions
1. Scope
1.1. This Annex shall apply to Union 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 gill-nets, trammel-nets and tangle-nets
with mesh size equal to or less than 220 mm in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 509/2007, and present in
ICES division VIIe. For the purposes of this Annex, a reference to the 2014 management period means the period
from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015.
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 catch less than 300 kg live weight of sole during the 2014 management period;
(b) such vessels do not tranship any fish at sea to another vessel;
(c) by 31 July 2014 and 31 January 2015 each Member State concerned make a report to the Commission on
these vessels' catch records for sole in the three previous years as well as on catches of sole in 2014.
Where any of these conditions is not met, the vessels concerned shall, with immediate effect, cease to be exempt
from the application of this Annex.
2. Definitions
For the purposes of this Annex the following definitions shall 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 gill-nets, 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) 'area' means ICES division VIIe;
(d) '2014 management period' means the period from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2015.
3. 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 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
4. Authorised
vessels
4.1 A Member State shall not authorise fishing with a regulated gear in the area by any of vessels flying its flag which
have no record of such fishing activity in the years 2002 to 2013 in that area 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.

6. Kilowatt
day
system
6.1. During
the
2014
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 that Member State 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, with reports in electronic format containing, for the regulated gear as laid down in Table I, the
details of the calculation based on:
(a) 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 which each vessel would benefit from 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 that Member State to benefit from the system referred to
in point 6.1.
7.
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 since 1 January 2004 either in
accordance with Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 or Regulation (EC) No 744/2008. Permanent
cessations resulting from any other circumstances may be considered by the Commission on a case-by-case
basis, following a written and duly motivated 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 2014, with reports in electronic format containing for the gear grouping as laid down 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 gears.
7.5. On the basis of such a request by a Member State the Commission may, by means of implementing acts, allocate
that Member State a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5 for that Member State. Those
implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 42(2).
7.6. During
the
2014
management
period,
a
Member
State
may
re-allocate
those
additional
days
at
sea
to
all
or
part
of
the vessels remaining in fleet and qualified for the regulated gears.
7.7. Any additional number of days resulting from a permanent cessation of fishing activities allocated by the
Commission for the 2013 management period shall be included in the maximum number of days per Member
State shown in Table I and shall be allocated to the gear groupings in Table I. These additional days shall be subject
to the adjustment in days at sea ceilings resulting from this Regulation for the 2014 management period.
7.8. By way of derogation from points 7.1 to 7.5, the Commission may exceptionally grant a Member State an
allocation of additional days during the 2014 management period on the basis of permanent cessations of
fishing activities that have taken place from 1 February 2004 to 31 January 2013, provided that they have not
been already included in any request for additional days during that period.
8. 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 2014 and 31 January 2015 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 (EC) No 199/2008 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. On the basis of that description, and after consultation with STECF, the Commission may, by means of imple
menting acts, allocate the Member State concerned a number of days additional to that referred to in point 5 for
that Member State and for the vessels, the area and gear concerned by the enhanced programme of scientific
observers. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in
Article 42(2).
8.5. 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.

11. 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 days received
by a vessel multiplied by its engine power in kilowatts (kilowatt days) is equal to or less than the product of the
days transferred by the donor vessel and the engine power in kilowatts of that vessel. 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 as described in point 11.1. shall be permitted between vessels operating with any regulated
gear and during the same management period.
11.4. On request from the Commission, Member States shall provide information on the transfers that have taken place.

Observation steps and frequency
Holding tank volume
At the start of fishing Measure the width and length of the holding tank (if the tank is not rectangular in shape, then
additional measurements may be required; precision ± 0,05 m)
Every month ( 1 ) Estimate
the
volume-to-mass
conversion
derived
from
the
drained
mass
of
krill
in
a
known
volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the holding tank
Every haul
Measure the depth of krill in the tank (if krill are held in the tank between hauls, then measure
the difference in depth; precision ± 0,1 m)
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Flow meter
Prior to fishing
Ensure that the flow meter is measuring whole krill (i.e. prior to processing)
Every month ( 1 ) Estimate
the
volume-to-mass
conversion
(ρ) derived from the drained mass of krill in a known
volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the flow meter
Every haul ( 2 ) Obtain
a
sample
from
the
flow
meter
and:
measure the volume (e.g. 10 litres) of krill and water combined
estimate the flow meter volume correction derived from the drained volume of krill
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Flow scale
Prior to fishing
Ensure that the flow scale is measuring whole krill (i.e. prior to processing)
Every haul ( 2 ) Obtain
a
sample
from
the
flow
scale
and:
measure the mass of krill and water combined
estimate the flow scale mass correction derived from the drained mass of krill
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Plate tray
Prior to fishing
Measure the mass of the tray (if trays vary in design, then measure the mass of each type;
precision ± 0,1 kg)
Every haul
Measure the mass of krill and tray combined (precision ± 0,1 kg)
Count the number of trays used (if trays vary in design, then count the number of trays of each
type)
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)
Meal conversion
Every month ( 1 )
Estimate the meal to whole krill conversion by processing 1 000 to 5 000 kg (drained mass) of
whole krill
Every haul
Measure the mass of meal produced
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)

( 1 ) To issue those fishing authorisations, proof must be produced that a valid contract exists between the ship 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.
