Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Fisheries Fund and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2328/2003, (EC) No 861/2006, (EC) 2006, (EC) No 1198/2006 and (EC) No 791/2007 of the Council, and Regulation (EU) No 1255/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council lays down the aid to be granted to the fishing fleet for temporary cessation of fishing activity. In particular, Article 33 sets out the specific causes for which such aid may be granted, and establishes a direct link with a certain type of technical measure as set out in Articles 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13 of the Regulation (EU). Number 1380/2013, as well as in Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2006 on management measures for the sustainable exploitation of fishery resources in the Mediterranean Sea and amending the Regulation (EC) No 2847/93 and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1626/94.

This link between the two regulations must necessarily be transposed into national law, in order to ensure that aid which can be granted for the temporary cessation of fishing is provided with a a legal basis to establish unequivocally a direct link between the aid granted and the conservation and sustainable exploitation measures adopted under Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 11 December 2013, or of Council Regulation (EU) No 1967/2006 of 21 December 2013 December 2006.

To this end, this order provides for the necessary modifications, in order to secure the said link, in certain orders regulating the management of those fisheries in which, eventually, aid could be granted to the temporary cessation of fishing activity. These orders are: Order AAA/627/2013, of 15 April, establishing a Management Plan for the ships of the censuses of the national fishing grounds of the Gulf of Cadiz, Order AAA/658/2014, of 22 April, for which the fishing with the art is regulated of surface longline for the capture of highly migratory species and Order AAA/1512/2014 of 30 July, establishing a management plan for sardine (Sardina pilchardus) of Iberian waters (VIIIc and IXa) and amending Order AAA/130 7/2013 of 1 July 2013 establishing a management plan for the vessels of the censuses of the Caladero Nacional del Cantabrian and Noroeste.

The references of the Community framework for certain ministerial orders on fisheries management are also updated, for reasons of legal certainty, since they have been previously issued, fully to the provisions of the new rules.
