(Non-legislative acts)
REGULATIONS
COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/406
of 5 March 2021
amending Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 as regards certain provisional fishing
opportunities for 2021 in Union waters and non-Union waters
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) requires that conservation
measures be adopted, taking into account available scientific, technical and economic advice, including, where
relevant, reports drawn up by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) and other
advisory bodies, as well as any advice received from advisory councils.
(2) It is incumbent upon the Council to adopt measures on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities, including
certain conditions functionally linked thereto, as appropriate. Pursuant to Article 16(4) of Regulation (EU)
No 1380/2013, fishing opportunities are to be fixed in accordance with the objectives of the Common Fisheries
Policy (CFP) set out in Article 2(2) of that Regulation. For stocks subject to specific multiannual plans the TACs
should be established in accordance with the rules laid down in those plans. Pursuant to Article 16(1) of that
Regulation, fishing opportunities allocated to Member States are to ensure relative stability of fishing activities of
each Member State for each fish stock or fishery.
(3) The total allowable catch (TAC) should therefore be established, in line with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, on the
basis of available scientific advice, taking into account biological and socioeconomic aspects whilst ensuring fair
treatment between fishing sectors, as well as in the light of the opinions expressed during the consultation of
stakeholders, in particular at the meetings of the advisory councils.
(4) Due to the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the Union, a large number
of stocks have become shared stocks. The Commission will undertake bilateral consultations with the United
Kingdom, bilateral consultations with Norway and trilateral consultations with the United Kingdom and Norway on
the basis of the draft Union position to be endorsed by the Council. As those consultations have not yet been
concluded, the Council should, in a manner that fully respects the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
(UNCLOS) and rights and obligations of the coastal states as well as their sovereignty and jurisdiction, establish
provisional TACs to be fished in Union and international waters, and waters to which the Union fishing vessels are
granted access by third countries.
(1) Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy,
amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002
and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (OJ L 354, 28.12.2013, p. 22).L 81/2 E N O f f i c i a l J o u r n a l o f t h e E u r o p e a n Union 9.3.2021
(5) On 15-16 December 2020, the Council reached a political agreement on fishing opportunities for 2021. The
Council agreed that provisional TACs for stocks shared with third countries should be set until those consultations
are concluded in compliance with the Union legal framework and international obligations or, if they cannot be
concluded successfully, until the Council establishes unilateral Union TACs in 2021.
(6) The provisional TACs established in Council Regulations (EU) 2021/91(2) and (EU) 2021/92(3), which reflect the
political agreement reached in the Council, aim to ensure continuation of sustainable Union fishing activities. Those
provisional fishing opportunities should in no circumstances impede the fixing of definitive fishing opportunities in
accordance with international agreements and the outcome of consultations, the Union legal framework and the
scientific advice. As a general approach, they should correspond to 25 % of the Union share of the fishing
opportunities fixed for 2020. However, in a very limited number of cases, another percentage should be used where
the stocks are predominantly fished at the beginning of the year. This approach is without prejudice to the Union
shares established in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the United
Kingdom(4) (‘Trade and Cooperation Agreement’), which will be used to set definitive TACs.
(7) The list of stocks for which a percentage higher than 25 % should apply, should be based on the analysis of the quota
uptake in the first quarter of the last three years (2018-2020) by the Member States that requested a higher
provisional TAC. Provisional TACs should not exceed potential definitive TACs, which, without prejudice to the
upcoming consultations with the third countries, have been assessed in accordance with the scientific advice and
taking into account the Union shares established in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Those increases in
provisional TACs are in accordance with the ICES advice, the applicable Union legal framework and the Trade and
Cooperation Agreement. They will enable Union fishing vessels to use the fishing opportunities to which they are
entitled and of which they would be otherwise deprived, due to the seasonality of fishing of the stocks concerned.
(8) The monthly catch data of the past years as reported to the Commission indicate that some other pelagic and
demersal stocks are predominantly fished at the beginning of the year. Therefore, on the basis of that catch data and
in accordance with the scientific advice, a higher percentage relative to the Union share of the fishing opportunities
fixed for 2021 should be established for the corresponding TACs, without prejudice to an approach that may be
taken in any future international agreements and/or consultations.
(9) Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(10) The catch limits provided for in Regulations (EU) 2021/91 and (EU) 2021/92 apply from 1 January 2021. The
provisions introduced by this Regulation concerning catch limits should therefore enter into force as soon as
possible and apply retroactively from 1 January 2021. Such retroactive application does not affect the principles of
legal certainty and protection of legitimate expectations as the fishing opportunities concerned are increased and
have not yet been exhausted. For reasons of urgency, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its
publication,
