Abstract

The Faeroe Islands are identifified by this Regulation as a country allowing non-sustainable fishing of the Atlanto-Scandian herring stock. Therefore measures in respect of the Faeroe Islands are adopted to ensure the long-term conservation of that stock. These measures apply to vessels flying the flag of the Faeroe Islands, or by vessels flying the flag of another State which have been authorized to fish in the Faeroe Islands’ exclusive economic zone or have been chartered by a Faeroese firm or by Faeroese authorities. In particular, it shall be prohibited to introduce into the territory of the European Union (including for transhipment purposes at ports) fish or fishery products which consist of, are made of, or contain Atlanto-Scandian herring or mackerel caught under the control of the Faeroe Islands.
