THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/833 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2019 laying down conservation and enforcement measures applicable in the Regulatory Area of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation, amending Regulation (EU) 2016/1627 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2115/2005 and (EC) No 1386/2007, and in particular Article 50(1) and (2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The Union is party to the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries (the NAFO Convention), approved by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78.

(2) The European Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EU) 2019/833 in order to implement the NAFO conservation and enforcement measures (CEM) into Union law.

(3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 supplemented Regulation (EU) 2019/833 with a number of NAFO CEM.

(4) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/989 amended Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 with NAFO CEM adopted at its 2019 annual meeting.

(5) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/860 amended Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 with NAFO CEM adopted at its 2020 annual meeting.

(6) Regulation (EU) 2021/1231 of the European Parliament and of the Council amended Regulation (EU) 2019/833 with NAFO CEM adopted at its 2019 and 2020 annual meetings.

(7) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1281 amended Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 with NAFO CEM adopted at its 2021 annual meeting.

(10) At its annual meeting in September 2023, the NAFO amended its CEM with the extension of closures periods for the current vulnerable marine ecosystems, the introduction of changes to the rules related to the timeframes for submission by Member States of observer trip reports as well as changes to the list of duties of observers. NAFO also updated the format of the observer trip reports, catch report formats and the format of the daily observer report.

(11) These changes should also be implemented into Union law. Therefore, Regulation (EU) 2019/833 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 should be amended accordingly,
