(1) For the purpose of this TAC, the area open to the fishery is specified as that portion of FAO statistical division 58.5.2 that lies within the area enclosed by a line:

starting at the point where the meridian of longitude 72° 15′ E intersects the Australia-France Maritime Delimitation Agreement Boundary then south along the meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 53° 25′ S,

then east along that parallel to its intersection with the meridian of longitude 74° E,

then northeasterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the parallel of latitude 52° 40′ S and the meridian of longitude 76° E,

then north along the meridian to its intersection with the parallel of latitude 52° S,

then northwesterly along the geodesic to the intersection of the parallel of latitude 51° S with the meridian of longitude 74° 30′ E, and

then southwesterly along the geodesic to the point of commencement.

(2) This TAC is applicable for longline fishery for the period from 1 May to 31 August 2013 and for pot fishery for the period from 1 December 2012 to 30 November 2013.

(3) This TAC is applicable within the area bounded by latitudes 55° 30′ S and 57° 20′ S and by longitudes 25° 30′ W and 29° 30′ W.

ANNEX IIA

Fishing effort for vessels in the context of the management of certain cod, plaice and sole stocks in the Skagerrak, that part of ICES division IIIa not covered by the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, ICES subarea IV, EU waters of ICES division IIa and ICES division VIId

1. Scope

1.1.This Annex shall apply to EU vessels carrying on board or deploying any of the gears specified 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 that 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 2013, 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 specified 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(b) 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 2013 management period, from 1 February 2013 to 31 January 2014, 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 may reallocate effort between individual vessels or groups of vessels.

5.3.If a Member State authorises vessels 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 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.

7. Communication of relevant data

Member States shall transmit to the Commission the data on fishing effort deployed by their fishing vessels in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Those data shall be transmitted via the Fisheries Data Exchange System or any future data collection system implemented by the Commission.

Provide explanation of fishing techniques, gear configuration and characteristics and fishing patterns:



(1) Except for scientific research purposes.

(2) Excluding waters subject to national jurisdiction (EEZs).

(3) Rules for catch limits for by-catch species per SSRU, applicable within total by-catch limits per Subarea:

skates and rays: 5 % of the catch limit for Dissostichus spp. or 50 tonnes, whichever is greater;

Macrourus spp.: 16 % of the catch limit for Dissostichus spp. or 20 tonnes, whichever is greater, except in Statistical Division 58.4.3a and Statistical Subarea 88.1;

other species: 20 tonnes per SSRU.

(4) Catch limit to permit Spain to undertake a depletion experiment in 2012/2013.

(5) As of the 2013/14 fishing season, using the table provided in the C1 form as a guideline, the notification shall include a description of the exact detailed method of estimation of the green weight of krill caught, including information and, where possible, data to estimate the uncertainty associated with green weight reported by vessels or to understand the underlying variability in the constants used for making these estimations, and, if conversion factors are applied, the exact detailed method of how each conversion factor was derived. Members are not required to re-submit such a description in the following seasons, unless changes in the method of green weight estimation occur.

(6) Information to be provided to the extent possible.

(7) Conversion factor = whole weight/processed weight.

(8) If yes, frequency of switch between fishing techniques:

(9) If yes, provide design of the device:

(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.
