Abstract

The technical and control measures shall apply in the waters falling under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of the Member States except Spain and Portugal and covered by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) to vessels flying the flag of Spain and registered and/or recorded at a port located on territory covered by the common fisheries policy. Each year the Spanish authorities shall forward to the Commission lists of the vessels which may exercise the specialised fishing activities referred to in point 2 of Annex I. Vessels authorized to fish for tuna may not keep on board any fish or fish products other than Thunnidae, with the exception of anchovies intended for use as live bait. Vessels authorized to fish for Ray's bream may not keep on board any fish or fish products other than that species, with the exception of the species intended for use as bait, provided that the quantities strictly necessary for this purpose are not exceeded. The Spanish authorities shall notify the Commission of the quantities caught by each vessel fishing for tuna and the quantities landed by such vessels at each port during the preceding month. (10 articles and 2 Annexes).
