It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2013 and, where appropriate, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.(6)In 2012, Spain has overfished its Norway lobster quota in area IX and X; EU waters of CECAF 34.1.1 (NEP/93411). As this stock is subject to a multiannual planCouncil Regulation (EC) No 2166/2005 of 20 December 2005 establishing measures for the recovery of the Southern hake and Norway lobster stocks in the Cantabrian Sea and Western Iberian peninsula and amending Regulation (EC) No 850/98 for the conservation of fishery resources through technical measures for the protection of juveniles of marine organisms (OJ L 345, 28.12.2005, p. 5)., a multiplying factor of *1.5 should apply. By letter of 26 March 2013, Spain requested to spread the deduction due over three years. Considering that a significant loss of quota would produce excessive discards of the species concerned, in accordance with point 3, letter (b) of the Communication from the Commission – Guidelines for deduction of quotas under article 105(1), (2) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009OJ C 72, 10.3.2012, p. 27. the Commission agrees on this request.(7)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 of 30 July 2012 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2012 on account of overfishing in the previous yearOJ L 203, 31.7.2012, p. 52. and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1136/2012 of 30 November 2012 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2012 on account of overfishing of other stocks in the previous years and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 700/2012 as regards amounts to be deducted in future yearsOJ L 331, 1.12.2012, p. 31. have operated deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2012. However, for certain Member States the deductions to be applied were higher than their respective 2012 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 2013 and, where appropriate, subsequent quotas.HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 11.The fishing quotas fixed in Regulations (EU) No 1262/2012, (EU) No 1088/2012, (EU) No 1261/2012, (EU) No 39/2013 and (EU) No 40/2013 for the year 2013 are reduced as shown in the Annex.2.Paragraph 1 shall apply without prejudice to reductions provided for in Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011OJ L 48, 23.2.2011, p. 11..
Article 2The Spanish deduction of 75,45 tonnes applicable in 2013 due to overfishing in 2012 to the stock of Norway lobster in area IX and X; EU waters of CECAF 34.1.1 (NEP/93411) is spread over three years.The annual deduction applicable to the Spanish NEP/93411 stock will amount to 25,15 tonnes in 2013, 2014 and 2015 without prejudice to any further quota adaptation due to possible subsequent overfishing.
Article 3This 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
DEDUCTIONS FROM QUOTAS FOR STOCKS WHICH HAVE BEEN OVERFISHEDQuotas 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 Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, quota transfers in accordance with Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 and/or reallocation and deduction of fishing opportunities in accordance with Articles 37 and 105 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, Commission Regulation (EC) No 147/2007 and Commission Regulation (EU) No 165/2011 where relevantAs set out in Article 105(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Deduction equal to the overfishing * 1,00 shall apply in all cases of overfishing equal to, or less than, 100 tonnes.As set out in Article 105(3) of Council 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 2010, 2011 and 2012. Letter "c" indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1.5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan.Remaining quantities related to overfishing in years preceding the entry into force of the Control Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and that cannot be deducted from another stock.At Spain's request, the pay-back of 75.45 tons due in 2013 will be spread over three years, namely 25.15 tons each year (2013, 2014 and 2015).
