Article 1
Open ↗Regulation (EU) 2019/833 is hereby amended as follows: (1) In Article 4, the following paragraph (1a), is inserted: ‘1a. In 2022, a research vessel shall not: (a) take 3M cod in excess of 15 metric tonnes. Should a research vessel’s catch exceed this amount, the excess shall be counted against the allocation to the vessel’s flag State Contracting Party. If the allocation to the Member State for 3M cod is exhausted, the Member State shall not authorise its vessels to undertake further research activities. Any research activities under way must be stopped by the operator as soon as 15 tonnes have been caught. (b) take 3M shrimp in excess of 10 metric tonnes. Given that no directed fishery is authorised on 3M shrimp in 2022, any research activities under way must be stopped by the operator as soon as 10 tonnes have been caught.’ (2) In Article 10(2), point (a) is replaced, by the following: ‘(a) the master of the vessel shall notify the NAFO Executive Secretary and its flag FMC by email or fax, at the latest 72 hours prior to the vessel’s entry into the Regulatory Area, of the amount of catch on board, the position by latitude and longitude where the master of the vessel intends to commence fishing, the estimated time of arrival at the position, and contact information for the fishing vessel (for example radio, satellite phone or email);’ (3) Article 18 is amended as follows: — In paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, ‘Until 31 December 2021 ’ is replaced by ‘Until 31 December 2026 ’. — Paragraph 4 is added: ‘4. Until 31 December 2023, no vessel shall engage in bottom fishing activities in the areas illustrated in Figure 5 and defined by connecting the coordinates specified in Table 7b in numerical order and back to coordinate 1 referred to in point 46 of the Annex to this Regulation.’
