Additional conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas

In adopting the report by Mrs Patricia McKENNA (Greens, IRL) Parliament approved the regulation laying down additional rules for the year-to-year management of TACs and quotas. As it was in favour of introducing greater flexibility to the system, Parliament wanted to see Member States having until 30 September of each year to submit requests for permission to land additional quantities of stocks or to transfer to the following year quotas which have not been taken up (instead of 31 March as proposed by the Commission). �
