Abstract

The Decree prohibits, in principle, Norwegian vessels to fish and land shrimps in the fisheries zone of East Greenland in 2009. However, in ICES Areas XIV and Va a total catch of 3.500 tons of shrimp may be fished by Norwegian vessels that meet criteria set out in article 3. In order to be eligible for participation the applying vessel shall have participated at least five preceding years and be notified with the Directorate of Fisheries. Vessels that do not qualify may participate as substitution for qualifying vessels. Fishing shall stop when the total catch quota is reached. Other provisions deal with fishing rights in case of lease of vessel, redistribution of quotas, duty to report, and prescribe penalties.
