It is therefore appropriate to operate deductions on the fishing quotas allocated to them in 2018 and, where relevant, in subsequent years, for the overfished stocks.~~(6)~~In 2016, Spain overfished its quota for albacore in the Atlantic Ocean, North of 5° N (ALB/AN05N).

For 2018, the Spanish initial quota for northern albacore in the Atlantic Ocean, North of 5° N (ALB/AN05N), as fixed by Regulation (EU) 2018/120, already reflected a deduction of 945,560 tonnes. Therefore, a remaining quantity of 189,117 tonnes should be deducted from the Spanish 2018 quota.~~(7)~~Deductions from fishing quotas, as provided for by this Regulation, should apply without prejudice to deductions applicable to 2018 quotas pursuant to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013~~Commission 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~~)..~~(8)Since quotas are expressed in tonnes, overfishing involving quantities of less than 1 tonne should not be considered,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:~~

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 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p. 22), quota transfers from 2016 to 2017 in accordance with Article 4(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 (OJ L 115, 9.5.1996, p. 3) and with Article 15(9) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 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. 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 Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and provided that the extent of overfishing exceeds 10 %.Letter "A" indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. 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 from previous year(s).Deductions to operate in 2018.Deductions to operate in 2018 that could be actually applied considering the available quota on 20 December 2018.Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/479 of 22 March 2019 operating deductions from fishing quotas available for certain stocks in 2018 on account of overfishing of other stocks in the previous years and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 (OJ L 82, 25.3.2019, p. 6).Additional multiplying factor not applicable because the overfishing does not exceed 10 % of the permitted landings.The deduction cannot be reduced by this unused quantity as article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 is not applicable to the ALB/AN05N stock.At Spain's request, the deduction of 2269354 kilos due in 2017 was equally spread over two years (2017 and 2018) by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2309. Since the 2018 initial quota for Spain as fixed by Regulation (EU) 2018/120 already reflects a deduction of 945560 kilos, the remaining quantity to deduct amounts to 189117 kilos.Despite not having initial quota for this overfished stock, Denmark concluded exchanges of fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 enabling deductions from the same stock.
