( 2 ) Without prejudice to the landing obligation, by-catches of dab, whiting and mackerel may consist of up to 2 % of the quota (OT1/*2A3A4). Where a Member State uses this provision in respect of a by-catch species in this fishery, no inter-species flexibility provision may be used by that Member State in respect of by-catches of that species.
( 3 ) Exclusively for by-catches. No directed fisheries are permitted under this quota.
( 4 ) In addition to this TAC, the Member States having quota for cod in VIIa may decide by common agreement to allocate an overall total of 10 tonnes to one or more vessels carrying out a directed scientific fishery assessed by the STECF in order to improve scientific information on this stock (COD/*07A.). The Member States concerned shall communicate the name(s) of the vessel(s) to the Commission before allowing any landings.’
( 5 ) Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom may access the ‘All Member States’ quota only once they have exhausted their own quota. However, Member States with more than 10 % of the Union quota shall not access the ‘All Member States’ quota at all.
( 6 ) For a fishing period from 20 June 2016 to 30 April 2017.’
