However, 66.000 tons of coalfish may be fished in the EU-zone of ICES statistics areas IV and IIIa in 2002 (sect. 2). Section 3 specifies group quotas for single categories of vessels (trawlers, seine, conventional gear) and specifies periods in which fishing is allowed for each category. Section 4 outlines criteria for participation in fishing with seine gear whereas section 5 specifies criteria for participation in fishing with conventional gear. Sections 6 and 7 specify quotas for single vessels fishing with conventional gear respectively trawl. Remaining provisions deal with a general stop on fisheries (8), powers of the Director of Fisheries (9), and penalties (10). A general stop on fishing for coalfish with trawl is prescribed for the period 1 July until 11 August. (12 sections)
