Abstract

This Regulation amends certain provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 737/2012 on the protection of certain stocks in the Celtic Sea, particularly as regards the conservation of haddock, cod and whiting stocks in the Celtic Sea. The aim is to provide for reinforced selectivity measures ensuring that discards rates will decrease very substantially and juveniles are allowed to grow, reproduce and contribute to future catches. By way of derogation from point (a) of article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No. 850/98, fishing vessels using a cod-end mesh size of between 70 and 119 mm shall use a square-meshed panel of a mesh size of at least 120 millimetres.
