Vessels shall be prohibited from using any bottom trawl or similar towed nets operating in contact with the bottom of the sea in the area bounded by a line joining the following coordinates:

Bottom trawls

Bottom-side chafers may be attached only to the outside of the trawl and only to the lower half of any part of the trawl.

Whereas the purpose of a bottom-side chafer is to protect the underside of the trawl from wear and tear;

Number of hours during which the trawl was in the water (midwater trawl) or on the bottom (bottom trawl), and fishing

The use of bottom trawls in the directed fishery for Champsocephalus gunnari in that sub-area is prohibited.

It is therefore appropriate to prohibit the use of bottom trawls and similar gear in the area surrounding the Darwin Mounds.

Those aggregations, known as the "Darwin Mounds", appear to be in good conservation status but show signs of damage owing to bottom-trawling operations.

According to the scientific evidence, recovery from damage to coral produced by trawl gear towed through the bottom is either impossible or very difficult and slow.

all vessels exceeding an overall length of 12 metres which are authorised to fish in the 25 mile management zone and which comprise bottom trawlers, vessels fishing with "lampara" purse seines, vessels fishing for lampuki with FADs and vessels fishing with large pelagic purse seines and industrial longlines for tuna and other highly migratory species will be included on a list.

Catches from the bottom trawl fishery and the pelagic trawl fishery shall be reported separately. The Community may ask for an increase in the quota,by the end of November for the following year, up to a maximum of 47 320 tonnes, with a corresponding increase in the part of the financial compensation referred to in Article 11(2).

Owners of freezer bottom trawlers shall be represented by an agent in Mozambique.

Freezer bottom trawlers shall be subject to the health provisions laid down by the Mozambican legislation in force.

Formalities to be followed in applying for and issuing licences for vessels fishing for tuna and related species and freezer bottom trawlers

Those aggregations, known as the "Darwin Mounds", appear to be in good conservation status but show signs of damage due to bottom-trawling operations.

( 1 ) Fisheries agencies may indicate side and stern bottom and side and stern midwater trawls, as OTB-1 and OTB-2, and OTM-1 and OTM-2, respectively.

Significant fishing activities using bottom-trawls would continue in the area concerned over the coming months, before any measures could be adopted by the Council;

(6) The United Kingdom has therefore requested that emergency measures be adopted under Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 to prohibit the use of bottom-trawls in the abovementioned coral aggregations.

Freezer bottom trawlers authorised to fish in Mozambican waters under the Fisheries Agreement shall be obliged to take on a sufficient number of Mozambican seamen to make up half of their non-officer crew.

it is therefore appropriate immediately to prohibit with immediate effect the use of bottom-trawls in the abovementioned coral aggregations by way of the emergency measures under Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002,

Applications shall be made using the forms provided for this purpose by Mozambique, specimens of which are given in Appendix 1 for tuna seiners and longliners, and in Appendices 1 and 2 for freezer bottom trawlers.
