It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2017 and, where relevant, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.(6)Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2016/2226Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 of 9 December 2016 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2016 on account of overfishing in the previous years (OJ L 336, 10.12.2016, p. 28). and (EU) 2017/162Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/162 of 31 January 2017 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2016 on account of overfishing of other stocks in the previous years and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2226 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2016 on account of overfishing in the previous years (OJ L 27, 1.2.2017, p. 101). have provided for deductions from fishing quotas for certain countries and species for 2016. However, for certain Member States, the deductions to be applied for some species were higher than the respective quotas available in 2016 and could therefore not be operated entirely in that year. To ensure that in such cases the full amount for the respective stocks be deducted, the remaining quantities should be taken into account when establishing deductions for 2017 and, where appropriate, from subsequent quotas.(7)In the framework of Article 3(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas (OJ L 115, 9.5.1996, p. 3)., by letter dated 16 November 2016, Belgium requested Commission's permission to land additional quantities of turbot and brill in Union waters of IIa and IV (T/B/2AC4-C) within the limits of 10 % of the quota. The additional quantities granted in 2016 under that procedure should be considered as exceeding permitted landings for the purpose of the deductions envisaged in Article 105 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.(8)Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2017 quotas pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 of 5 March 2013 providing for deductions from certain fishing quotas allocated to Spain in 2013 and subsequent years on account of overfishing of a certain mackerel quota in 2009 (OJ L 62, 6.3.2013, p. 1)..(9)Since quotas are expressed in tonnes, overfishing involving quantities of less than 1 tonne should not be considered,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
