Order No. 24 on supplementary quota in coastal shrimp-fishing off West Greenland in 2001.

The Order sets rules on the criteria for applying for additional quota in inshore shrimp-fishing in West Greenland. Vessel owners having transferred the yearly total allowable catch for 2001 may not be granted additional quota – however exception is made to vessels not operative for longer periods. However, if 80% of 2001 quota has been reached, it is permitted to apply for additional quota. The additional quota allocated may measure 25, 50, 100 or 200 tons. If there is a risk that total allowable catch for inshore shrimp-fishing in West Greenland is exceeded, the Minister of Industry may notify the need for suspension of fishing.
