COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2024/1856
of 28 June 2024
amending Regulation (EU) 2024/257 fixing for 2024, 2025 and 2026 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks, applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters, and Regulation (EU) 2023/194 fixing for 2023 such fishing opportunities
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
Council Regulation (EU) 2024/257 (1) fixes for 2024, 2025 and 2026 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks, applicable in Union waters and, for Union fishing vessels, in certain non-Union waters. Those fishing opportunities, including certain measures functionally linked thereto, should be amended to take into account the publication of scientific advice, as well as the outcomes of consultations with third countries and regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) meetings. |
(2) |
Regulation (EU) 2024/257 provisionally set at zero the total allowable catches (TAC) for anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) subareas 9 and 10 and Union waters of Committee for Eastern Central Atlantic Fisheries (CECAF) division 34.1.1 for the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025, pending the publication by ICES of its scientific advice for anchovy in ICES division 9a for that period. To allow fishing to continue until the TAC for that stock for the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 is set, a provisional TAC at the level of 4 997 tonnes for the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2024 should be set. That level corresponds to Member States’ catches of that stock in the third quarter of 2023. |

On 28 March 2024, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) published its opinion on the socio-economic impact of setting the TAC for pollack (Pollachius pollachius) in ICES divisions 8a, 8b, 8d and 8e for 2024 at the level advised by ICES and indicating the level of that TAC required to avoid the phenomenon of ‘choke species’ (2). Therefore, the definitive TAC for 2024 should be set, replacing the provisional TAC set by Regulation (EU) 2024/257 for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2024. Pursuant to Article 5(3) of Regulation (EU) 2019/472 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), that TAC should be set at a level of 959 tonnes, which, according to that opinion of the STECF, will allow the fleets to continue operating until the fourth quarter of the year and therefore reduce: (i) the phenomenon of ‘choke species’ and a premature closure of the relevant fisheries; and (ii) associated socio-economic impacts on the fisheries sector. |
(4) |
On 18 and 19 June 2024, the Union and Norway held consultations on: (i) the level of the overall fishing opportunities for Northern prawn in ICES divisions 3a and 4a east for the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025; and (ii) the level of the TAC for Northern prawn in ICES division 3a. The outcome of those consultations was documented in an Agreed Record signed on 19 June 2024. The TAC for Northern prawn in ICES division 3a should therefore be set at the level agreed with Norway. The Union and Norway also considered transfers of Northern prawn in Norwegian waters of the North Sea south of 62oN from Norway to the Union, in addition to the level set out in Table 2 of the Agreed Record of fisheries consultations between the Union and Norway for 2024, signed on 8 December 2023. The Member States quotas for Northern prawn in Greenland waters of ICES subareas 5 and 14 should be amended accordingly. |
