( 3 ) As set out in Article 105(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 and provided that the extent of overfishing exceeds 10 %. ( 4 ) Letter ‘A’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied due to consecutive overfishing in the years 2015, 2016 and 2017. Letter ‘C’ indicates that an additional multiplying factor of 1,5 has been applied as the stock is subject to a multiannual plan. ( 5 ) Remaining quantities from previous year(s).

( 9 ) Additional multiplying factor not applicable because the overfishing does not exceed 10 % of the permitted landings. ( 10 ) The deduction cannot be reduced by this unused quantity as article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 847/96 is not applicable to the ALB/AN05N stock. ( 11 ) At Spain's request, the deduction of 2 269 354 kilos due in 2017 was equally spread over two years (2017 and 2018) by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2309. Since the 2018 initial quota for Spain as fixed by Regulation (EU) 2018/120 already reflects a deduction of 945 560 kilos, the remaining quantity to deduct amounts to 189 117 kilos. ( 12 ) Despite not having initial quota for this overfished stock, Denmark concluded exchanges of fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 16(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 enabling deductions from the same stock.
