This limitation of fishing effort is collected annually in Annex IIB of the corresponding TAC and quota regulation. The Annex also states that there is a need for fishing activity in the area in the years 2002 to 2013, in order to allow a vessel to be authorised to fish within the European Southern Merluza Recovery Plan and Norway lobster.

In addition, Article 27 provides for the option of distribution of fishing opportunities on the basis of catch or quota volumes and enables the holder of the Department to distribute them in order to improve the management and control of the activity. fishing.

In this sense, the agreement signed between the Governments of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic, represented by the Ministers of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by Spain and Agriculture and the Sea by the Portugal, is intended to maintain beneficial relations within the framework of the general principles of Community legislation on the management of fishing effort, thereby forcing the publication of implementing rules.

In order to speed up the management of fisheries and to allow for business planning, the procedure for the transmission of fishing opportunities between bottom trawlers is developed in this ministerial order. fishing in the waters of Sub-zone IX of the International Sea Exploration Council, subject to the sovereignty or jurisdiction of Portugal and only for species subject to the TACS and quota arrangements provided for in this order.

On the other hand, proper management of the fisheries requires the definitive closure of the Census of bottom trawlers fishing in Portuguese waters of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea
