(2)Fishing quotas for the year 2012 have been established by: Regulation (EU) No 1225/2010, Council Regulation (EU) No 716/2011 of 19 July 2011 establishing the fishing opportunities for anchovy in the Bay of Biscay for the 2011/2012 fishing seasonOJ L 193, 23.7.2011, p. 11., Council Regulation (EU) No 1256/2011 of 30 November 2011 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Baltic Sea and amending Regulation (EU) No 1124/2010OJ L 320, 3.12.2011, p. 3., Council Regulation (EU) No 5/2012 of 19 December 2011 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks applicable in the Black SeaOJ L 3, 6.1.2012, p. 1., Council Regulation (EU) No 43/2012 of 17 January 2012 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities available to EU vessels for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are not subject to international negotiations or agreementsOJ L 25, 27.1.2012, p. 1. and, Council Regulation (EU) No 44/2012 of 17 January 2012 fixing for 2012 the fishing opportunities available in EU waters and, to EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks which are subject to international negotiations or agreementsOJ L 25, 27.1.2012, p. 55.. (3)According to Article 105(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, when the Commission has established that a Member State has exceeded the fishing quotas which have been allocated to it, the Commission is to operate deductions from future fishing quotas of that Member State. (4)Article 105(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provide that such deductions shall be operated in the following year or years by applying certain multiplying factors as set out therein. (5)Certain Member States have exceeded their fishing quotas for the year 2011. It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2012 and, where appropriate, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks. (6)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1016/2011 of 23 September 2011 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2011, on account of overfishing of those stocks in the previous yearOJ L 270, 15.10.2011, p. 1. and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1021/2011 of 14 October 2011 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2011, on account of overfishing of other stocks in the previous yearOJ L 270, 15.10.2011, p. 16. 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 account when establishing deductions from 2012 and, where appropriate, subsequent quotas. (7)Deductions provided by this Regulation should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2012 quotas pursuant to: Commission Regulation (EC) No 147/2007 of 15 February 2007 adapting certain fish quotas from 2007 to 2012 pursuant to Article 23(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries PolicyOJ L 46, 16.2.2007, p. 10., and Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 of 22 February 2011 providing for deductions from certain mackerel quotas allocated to Spain in 2011 and subsequent years on account of overfishing in 2010OJ L 48, 23.2.2011, p. 11.. (8)Where the deductions cannot be applied because the quota is not or not sufficiently available to the Member State concerned, the provisions of Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 will apply, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1 1. The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EU) No 1225/2010, (EU) No 716/2011, (EU) No 1256/2011, (EU) No 5/2012, (EU) No 43/2012 and (EU) No 44/2012 for the year 2012 are reduced as shown in the Annex. 2. Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to reductions provided for in Regulations (EC) No 147/2007 and (EU) No 165/2011.
Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. ANNEX
Quotas available to a Member State pursuant to the relevant fishing opportunities Regulations after taking into account exchanges of fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 20(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 (OJ L 358, 31.12.2002, p. 59), quota transfers in accordance with Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (OJ L 115, 9.5.1996, p. 3) and/or reallocation and deduction of fishing opportunities in accordance with Articles 37 and 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. As set out in Article 105(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. As set out in Article 105(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. 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. 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 account when establishing deductions from 2012 and, where appropriate, subsequent quotas. Amounts to be deducted from 2012 adapted quotas or following year(s) quotas where appropriate. As defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 388/2006 of 23 February 2006 establishing a multiannual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Bay of Biscay (OJ L 65, 7.3.2006, p. 1). As defined by Council Regulation (EC) No 509/2007 of 7 May 2007 establishing a multi-annual plan for the sustainable exploitation of the stock of sole in the Western Channel (OJ L 122, 11.5.2007, p. 7).
