Abstract
This Regulation was adopted pursuant to (EU) No. 1380/2013, which aims to progressively eliminate discards in all European Union fisheries through the introduction of a landing obligation for catches of species subject to catch limits. In particular, these provisions specify the details for implementing the landing obligation provided for in article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 1380/2013, and shall apply in the North Sea and in European Union waters of ICES Division IIa. Article 4 establishes the minimum conservation reference size of Norway lobster in ICES Division IIIa. Specific technical measures applicable in the Skagerrak are set out under article 5 (prohibition of the carrying on board or use of any trawl, Danish seine, beam trawl or similar towed net having a mesh size of less than 120 mm).
