Abstract

Regulation (EU) No. 1380/2013 aims to progressively eliminate discards in all European Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 1395/2014 established a discard plan for certain small pelagic fisheries and fisheries for industrial purposes in the North Sea, in order to facilitate the implementation of the landing obligation by means of certain flexibility mechanisms. This Regulation inserts new article 3a on the de minimis exemption for those landing obligations in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020.
