THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Union control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006, and in particular Article 105(1), (2), (3) and (5) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Fishing quotas for the year 2017 have been established by: (1) Council Regulation (EU) 2016/1903, (2) Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285, (3) Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2372, and (4) Council Regulation (EU) 2017/127.

Council Regulation (EU) 2016/1903,

Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285,

Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2372, and

Council Regulation (EU) 2017/127.

(2) Fishing quotas for the year 2018 have been established by: (1) Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285, (2) Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1970, (3) Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2360, and (4) Council Regulation (EU) 2018/120.

Council Regulation (EU) 2016/2285,

Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1970,

Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2360, and

Council Regulation (EU) 2018/120.

(3) Pursuant 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) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 has established deductions from fishing quotas for certain stocks in 2018 on account of overfishing in the previous years.

(5) However, for certain Member States no deductions could be operated by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 from quotas allocated for the overfished stocks because such quotas are not available for those Member States in the year 2018.

(6) Article 105(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 provides that, if it is not possible to operate deductions on the overfished stock in the year following the overfishing because the Member State concerned has no available quota, deductions may be operated on other stocks in the same geographical area or with the same commercial value. According to Commission Communication 2012/C 72/07 containing Guidelines for deduction of quotas under Article 105(1), (2) and (5) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 such deductions should be preferably operated from quotas allocated for stocks fished by the same fleet as the fleet that overfished the quota, taking into account the need to avoid discards in mixed fisheries.

(7) The Member States concerned have been consulted with regard to the proposed deductions from quotas allocated for stocks other than those which have been overfished.

(8) In certain cases, exchanges of fishing opportunities concluded in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council enable deductions from the same stocks in the framework of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969.

(9) On 17 October 2018, Spain informed the Commission that the catches in 2017 of swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, South of 5° N (SWO/AS05N) had been erroneously reported. Following corrections submitted on 3 December 2018 by Spain in the aggregated catch data reporting system, it appears that the catch uptake for swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean, South of 5° N remains below the allocated quota for 2017. Therefore, the corresponding deductions should be deleted from the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969.

(10) On 23 November 2018, Spain requested to update its catch declarations regarding yellowfin tuna in IOTC area of competence (YFT/IOTC). On the basis of the last updated data transmitted by Spain on 13 December 2018, it appears that the Spanish 2017 quota was exceeded for yellowfin tuna in IOTC area of competence (YFT/IOTC). The corresponding deduction should consequently be added to the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969.

(11) Moreover, certain deductions required by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 appear to be larger than the adapted quota available in the year 2018 and, as a consequence, cannot be entirely operated in that year. According to Communication 2012/C 72/07, the remaining amounts should be deducted from the adapted quotas available in subsequent years until the full overfished amount is paid back.

(12) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(13) This Regulation should apply retroactively from the day on which Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1969 establishing the deductions from fishing quotas for the same stocks in 2018 entered into force,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
