What this law requires
Fishing vessels and producer organizations allocated sub-quotas in Annex 1 must operate within the revised 2026 sub-quota tonnages assigned to their category or organization for each listed fish stock and CIEM fishing zone.
Vessels not belonging to a producer organization must apply the revised 'Navires non adhérant à une organisation de producteurs' sub-quota amounts for the listed stocks, including dogfish, anchovy, monkfish, tusk and cod, in the relevant CIEM zones.
Vessels belonging to a named producer organization must count catches against the revised sub-quota allocated to that organization for the relevant stock code and CIEM zone shown in Annex 1.
Producer organizations listed in Annex 1 must manage their members' catches for each affected stock so that landings do not exceed the revised tonnage allocated to the organization.
