Council Regulation (EU) 2023/1478 of 26 June 2023 on the allocation of the fishing opportunities under the Protocol on the implementation of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Madagascar (2023-2027) article 0 CELEX: 32023R1478 (6) The fishing opportunities provided for in the Protocol for highly migratory fish stocks, established in accordance with the recommendations and resolutions adopted by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, should be allocated among the Member States for the entire period of its application. (7) These measures are urgent, given the economic importance of Union fishing activities in the Madagascar fishing zone and the need to keep to a minimum any interruption of those activities. The Protocol will therefore apply on a provisional basis from 1 July 2023, pending the completion of the procedures necessary for its entry into force, in order to allow the fishing activities of Union vessels to resume as soon as possible. This Regulation should therefore apply from the same date. For reasons of urgency, this Regulation should enter into force immediately after its publication, |
