Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Council Regulations (EU) No 57/2011 and (EC) 754/2009 as regards the protection of the species ‘porbeagle’, certain TACs and certain fishing effort limits set for the United Kingdom, Germany and Ireland

Council Regulation (EU) No 57/2011 fixes for 2011 the fishing opportunities for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in EU waters and, for EU vessels, in certain non-EU waters. The Regulation is usually amended several times during the period in which it is in effect.

One of the amendments proposed concerns the implementation of the cod management plan (Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008) regarding vessels excluded or included in the effort regime.

Part of this issue is dealt with in Regulation 57/2011 (effort limits per gear group in Annex IIA), but the actual decision regarding the inclusion or exclusion of vessel groups under the effort regime of the plan is dealt with in Council Regulation (EU) No 754/2009.

Accordingly, this latter regulation needs to be amended as well, and the necessary amending provisions are contained in this proposal.
