Abstract

This Regulation fixes, for certain stocks of highly migratory fish, the total allowable catches (TACs) for each stock, the share of these catches available to the Community, the allocation of that share among Member States in the form of quotas for fish, and the specific terms and conditions on which these stocks may be fished. By way of derogation from article 3(a) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1626/94 of 27 June 1994 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean (5), the taking of bluefin tuna with an encircling net shall be prohibited between 1 and 31 May in the Adriatic and between 16 July and 15 August in the rest of the Mediterranean. By way of derogation from Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No. 1626/94, it shall be prohibited to retain on board, tranship, land, transport, store, sell, display or otherwise put up for sale individual bluefin tuna of less than 3,2 kg in weight.
