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 2009establishing a Community control system
for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC)

Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006(1), and in particular Article 105(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In 2013 the Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013(2) providing for deductions from
the mackerel quota allocated to Spain in 2013 in ICES division 8c, ICES subareas 9 and 10 and Union waters of
CECAF 34.1.1 and from the anchovy quota in ICES subarea 8 on account of overfishing of the mackerel quota
in 2009.
(2) Spain did not fish 3 400tonnes of the relevant mackerel quota in 2021, thus exercising a lower fishing pressure on
that stock compared to the maximum quantity allowed by the fishing opportunities allocated for that year. Spain has
requested that those unfished quantities be taken into account for deductions for 2021 and to decrease the
deductions provided by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 for the years 2022 and 2023 accordingly. The
quantities for deductions for 2021, 2022 and for 2023 established in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013
should therefore be adapted accordingly.
(3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 185/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and
Aquaculture,
